The Sennheiser EW 500 G4-MKE2-GW1 is a premium wireless lavalier microphone system configured as a complete set, engineered for professional applications in broadcast, theater, corporate presentations, and high-end video production where discreet, high-fidelity audio capture is paramount. Operating within the robust 558 to 608 MHz UHF frequency band, this system delivers exceptional RF stability and resistance to interference, making it suitable for complex environments like television studios, live events, and crowded convention centers. The set is centered around a bodypack transmitter paired with the renowned Sennheiser MKE 2 omnidirectional miniature electret condenser microphone, providing a complete, optimized solution for capturing clear, natural dialogue when the microphone must be hidden from view.

The system’s key component is the ultra-compact MKE 2 lavalier microphone, celebrated for its neutral, transparent sound quality and excellent speech intelligibility. Its miniature size allows for easy concealment under clothing, while its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures consistent audio capture even if the subject turns their head. The robust metal bodypack transmitter features a secure, locking mini-jack connector for the microphone and is built to withstand the physical demands of daily professional use. The accompanying true-diversity rackmount receiver offers a sophisticated interface with a high-contrast LCD display, providing real-time monitoring of RF and audio levels, transmitter battery status, and an integrated spectrum analyzer for precise frequency management and interference avoidance.

Engineered for seamless integration into professional workflows, the system utilizes Sennheiser's HDX companding technology to deliver a wide dynamic range and transparent audio with extremely low noise and distortion. The receiver provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced 6.3 mm jack outputs for direct connection to mixing consoles, camera inputs, or recording devices. Sold as a complete base set with essential accessories—including a power supply, antennae, and rackmount ears—the EW 500 G4-MKE2-GW1 offers broadcast engineers, sound designers, and AV professionals a reliable, top-tier wireless lavalier solution that combines broadcast-quality audio, robust RF performance, and the discretion required for high-stakes professional applications.
