I use the Sennheiser G3 fot wireless work, transmitter and receiver, mainly for interviews or congress speakers. Camera is C300 or 1DX. I saw the Audio Ltd EN2 rec. and transm.
they have a good reputation. Is it worth the while to spend the extra bucks?

Yes - Audio Ltd. are pretty well the industry standard in the UK for professional users.

G3 is the step down for those who want the quality but don't have the money.

Audio Ltd. is pro gear and the company are very helpful and go the extra mile in customer care.

Yes, Redding Audio in the US picked up Audio Limited late last year. I know the owner, Scott, very well. I haven't seen a lot more Audio Limited units in the US yet, but it hasn't been long enough to judge that. Scott gives great customer service. Redding Audio does not sell directly to end users, so you would need to go through one of their re-sellers, which you can find on their website. A good US manufacturer of analog wireless is Lectrosonics, and they are the industry standard in the US for analog wireless, and they are really really good people. If you really want to throw down a lot of cash, check out the Zaxcom digital wireless. They do lots more stuff like built in recording on the transmitter with timecode, remote control, and all kinds of other stuff, but they aren't cheap.

All that being said, I know some big time union sound mixers that have been around forever, and have Audio Limited wireless systems that are at least 25 years old and they still use them and they love them. Personally I've always liked their product design, audio quality, and the guys at Audio Limited in the UK are absolutely fantastic. I really can't say anything bad about them at all. It comes down to personal preference, really. If you have the ability to get to a re-seller that sells all these brands, you should go get some hands on time with all of these units so you can make a really good and informed purchasing decision. If you can't physically get to a re-seller, you can always rent the systems, and some re-sellers will apply the rental charge to a purchase if you let them know what you are planning to do ahead of time.

One more thing, their "hex box" for sound cart work is beautifully designed, in my opinion. I've always like their quad boxes in the past, and this thing is just gorgeous, and getting your receivers in and out is a breeze. They make a 3 "rack" version for bag work as well.
