Wat's up?

I got a couple of sennheiser G2 and G3 body packs, the whole kit ( lavaliers). I was wondering if its possible to have the same transmitter working with 2 recievers, so that one can go to the recorder and the other to the camera...

Just curious... and if its possible.. whats the trick?

Tune both receivers to the same frequency the transmitter is using.

What is NOT possible is using two transmitters with one receiver... but the other way around, as you're wanting to do, is not a problem at all.

In addition, if the talent is moving around, one can place the multiple receivers to get better reception coverage as they move. Editing of course is required to assemble the resulting 'good' track.

Indeed. "True diversity" receivers actually have two independent receivers in the same box (each with their own antenna), and the system automatically selects whichever receiver has the best signal. But as Mr. Clark observes, to provide coverage over a larger area, one can strategically position additional receivers along the path.

One transmitter and multiple receivers is called "broadcasting". We have been doing it for ~100 years now. :)
 
We have done this for many years in broadcast production and it is also very useful if you need to have the talent in two or more locations.
