Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Wireless Plug-On Microphone System

Professional-Grade Wireless Audio for Video Production

The Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 wireless plug-on microphone system is designed for content creators who demand broadcast-quality audio in a compact, camera-mount solution. Whether you're filming a documentary, capturing on-the-go interviews, or producing cinematic content in a bustling city, this system delivers clean, reliable wireless audio every time.

Engineered for Filmmakers, Journalists, and Videographers

Built on Sennheiser's trusted Evolution Wireless platform, the EW 500 BOOM G4 expands your creative possibilities. With up to 50 mW of RF output power, a wide 50 MHz tuning bandwidth, and support for up to 32 microphones operating simultaneously, this system is ideal for crowded RF environments like film sets and busy urban locations.

The plug-on transmitter easily attaches to any XLR-equipped dynamic or condenser microphone, giving you flexibility to use it with handheld mics for interviews or shotgun mics for booming. Built-in +48V phantom power ensures full compatibility with condenser mics.

Seamless Camera Integration

The compact camera-mount receiver connects directly to DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, or cinema rigs, offering a balanced or unbalanced audio output. With included cables for both XLR and 3.5mm connections, you're ready to shoot high-quality audio for weddings, documentaries, corporate videos, or social content right out of the box.

A headphone output lets you monitor audio levels on the fly, ensuring you're always capturing clear dialogue or ambient sound.

Reliable Performance in Demanding Environments

Durability is key when working in the field. The EW 500 BOOM G4 system features rugged all-metal housing and a locking XLR connector to prevent accidental mic disconnections. An onboard mute switch gives you control when you need silence between takes.

The system’s adaptive diversity reception ensures stable transmission up to 330 feet, giving you the freedom to move with confidence during shoots. A daylight-readable LED display on both units keeps you informed on battery life, signal strength, and audio levels.

Simple Setup, Flexible Controls

Finding a clear frequency is easy with the built-in automatic frequency scan feature. With the press of a button, you can sync the transmitter and receiver via infrared, cutting setup time so you can focus on filming.

With adjustable input sensitivity, selectable RF output power (10/30/50 mW), and a receiver with 42 dB adjustable output, this system is tailored to match various camera and mic levels, whether you’re working with booming vocals or subtle speech.

Crystal-Clear Sound with Sennheiser HDX Compander

To capture the full dynamic range of your microphone, the EW 500 BOOM G4 uses Sennheiser’s proprietary HDX compander technology. This ensures your audio stays clean and natural with minimal background noise, even in complex recording environments.

Versatile Compatibility and Power Options

This system is fully compatible with previous Evolution Wireless generations, including EW G1, G2, G3, and G4 transmitters and receivers. Whether you're upgrading or mixing gear, it fits right into your existing setup.

Power comes from AA batteries or the optional BA 2015 Accupack. Built-in charging contacts make it easy to recharge batteries without removing them, just add the L 2015 charger for a convenient charging solution.

Why Choose the EW 500 BOOM G4 Over the EW 100 G4?

Compared to the EW 100 G4, the EW 500 BOOM G4 offers a wider bandwidth, more frequencies, adjustable RF output, professional-grade MKE 2 microphone support, balanced audio output, and a headphone jack for monitoring. It’s the clear choice for professionals looking to elevate their production quality.
