Sennheiser EW 135P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Cardioid Handheld Microphone System
Sennheiser EW 135P G4 Overview
The Sennheiser EW 135P G4 camera-mount wireless
handheld microphone system features the proven combination of reliability,
flexible control, and broadcast-quality sound that has made the EW Series an
industry standard for videographers, journalists, and content creators all over
the world.
The EW 135P G4 gives you
the tools to adapt and meet the wireless challenges that inevitably arise on
set. The frequency scan function automatically searches for the cleanest
frequency at your location, while the transmitter offers an interchangeable
capsule design, allowing you to swap mic capsules with different polar patterns
to suit your application.
The system includes a
camera-mount receiver and an updated, lightweight handheld transmitter equipped
with an MMD 835 cardioid capsule—ideal in situations where you don't have time
to position a lavalier mic or you need to quickly pass the mic between several
people. The receiver connects to a camcorder or a DSLR/mirrorless camera to
capture crisp-sounding speech or dialog for projects ranging from wedding and
corporate videos to red-carpet and man-on-the-street interviews in noisy
environments.
The EW 135P G4 is
backward-compatible with previous evolution systems, giving you the ability to
mix and match G4/G3/G2/G1 receivers or bodypack, handheld, and plug-on
transmitters. It is also compatible with EW 500 systems.
Built for Dependable Performance in the Field
·
The EW 135P G4 features
all-metal construction and a lightweight handheld transmitter, well suited for
extended use on location.
·
Using the included
shoemount adapter, the compact receiver easily mounts on your camera without
adding much weight. The included cables allow you to connect the receiver to
the 3.5mm or XLR audio input of any DSLR/mirrorless, camcorder, or recording
device.
·
Both transmitter and
receiver feature daylight-readable LED displays showing reception quality,
battery status, and audio level. To get you going quickly, they synchronize via
infrared interface with the simple push of a button.
Proven Broadcast-Quality Sound
·
The EW 135P G4 ships
with an MMD 835 dynamic mic capsule, which delivers a natural sound optimized
for speech intelligibility. Its directional cardioid polar pattern helps to
reject unwanted background sound, making it ideal in loud environments such as
trade-show floors, busy public areas, or sporting events.
·
For outdoor interviews
or situations when you're moving the mic quickly between speakers, you can swap
out the included 835 cardioid capsule for the MMD 42 capsule (available
separately), which offers improved wind protection, less handling noise, and a
more forgiving omnidirectional pickup pattern.
·
To take full advantage
of the microphone's dynamic range, the system employs proprietary HDX compander
technology, preserving your sound without adding unwanted noise during
transmission, and delivering audio with remarkable accuracy and quality.
