Wireless Lav Setup...

[skettalee]

I been looking on EVSONLINE and B&H trying to find a wireless lav setup that allows for atleast 2 or more microphones working all at the same time with the same one transmitter that you can mount on a camera. I cant seem to find one. Does anyone have a suggest that could help me out? Thanks!

Zaxcom makes a digital unit that transmits a stereo signal with one transmitter.

I also think sony might make a unit with these capabilities.

I think you mean receiver (the microphone itself is connected to the transmitter) that you put on the camera right?

Sketta, it would be much cheaper to buy 2 receivers than a dual-channel diversity receiver, by like 4x less.

I purchased this Azden system for use with the FX1 and Z1U. It is a two transmitter - one receiver system and the quality is excellent. I also own an Senn Evolution 200 series and the audio quality is nearly identical. One mic/trans is left channel and the other is right channel = stereo.

Wow that's a cool system , never seen it before, I only knew about the 100LT, but this seems very affordable and a good starter kit. Great find Duncan. I just have a few cautions for folks interested in this kit:

It only has 63 freq, no LCD readout and telemetry so you can't read signal strength from recvr side, low s/n ratio of only 70, only 50-15Khz response as opposed to avg 40-18Khz so you miss the low end, and if one receiver goes down everything goes down.

It also has a very low 10mW RF output:

As opposed to 30mW on the Sk100 Sennheiser:

Or 100mW on the lectro:

I have also used the EX503 lavs, and they are not up to the Sennheiser ME2 mics. The Azden 500 systems I have sold always went out with Sony ECM lavs, which would then drive this kit price up to two of these:

I use Countryman mics with my Sennheiser kits, and I highly recommend them or the MK gold Sennheiser series, but even the ME2 mics function well.

I have to say though, that for $650, that is a great deal. :thumbsup: I mean, that's UHF for VHF prices, you just have to be aware of its weak points.
