Sennheiser EW 500 G4 Two-Person Wireless Combo Microphone System Kit with Camera-Mount Receiver (AW+ Band: 470 to 558 MHz)

Professional 2-Person Wireless Microphone Kit for Camera Mounting

Delivering broadcast-quality audio in a streamlined, camera-mountable format, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 2-Person Wireless Combo Microphone System Kit from B&H is a powerful and reliable choice for content creators, documentarians, journalists, and event videographers. With a wide frequency range, flexible configuration, and top-tier components, this kit is designed to keep your rig light while capturing rich, professional audio for interviews, on-location shoots, and live productions.

Comprehensive Kit with Everything You Need

This all-in-one bundle includes two MKE 2 professional omnidirectional lavalier microphones paired with bodypack transmitters, plus a Senal ENG handheld dynamic interview mic and plug-on transmitter for more traditional on-the-street interviews. You'll also get two compact camera-mount receivers, a Kopul CMCS-1 microphone combiner, a Vello triple-shoe bracket, and a waterproof SKB iSeries case for secure, organized storage and transport.

The two receivers connect to a single DSLR or mirrorless camera input via the included combiner, offering dual-mic capture through one 3.5mm stereo input. This setup is ideal for dual-subject interviews, reducing bulk without sacrificing audio quality.

EW 500 G4 FILM System: Built for Broadcast-Quality Sound

At the heart of this kit is the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 FILM system, engineered with an extended 88 MHz bandwidth, 3520 tunable UHF frequencies, and adjustable RF output (10, 30, or 50 mW) to ensure crystal-clear signal transmission, even in RF-dense environments. With up to 32 compatible wireless channels per location, this system is ready for multi-mic setups in complex shooting scenarios.

The MKE 2 lavalier mic delivers excellent voice pickup with high sensitivity and resistance to sweat, making it ideal for long interview sessions or live presentations. Meanwhile, the plug-on transmitter provides +48V phantom power, enabling you to use condenser shotgun or handheld microphones for booming or traditional stand-up interviews.

Compact and Camera-Friendly Design

Designed with field use in mind, both transmitters and receivers feature rugged, all-metal housings and daylight-readable LED displays for monitoring audio levels, signal strength, and battery status in real time. The compact receivers mount easily on-camera using the included shoemount adapters, while the Kopul CMCS-1 mic combiner attaches directly to your rig via a hot shoe or 1/4"-20 mount, giving you clean and efficient audio routing from two sources into your camera’s single mic input.

The included CL 500 and CL 1 cables allow for seamless connection to XLR or 3.5mm inputs, ensuring compatibility with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and professional cinema rigs.

Fast Setup and Flexible Controls

Sennheiser’s infrared sync feature lets you pair transmitters and receivers with a single button press, minimizing downtime. An automatic frequency scan function helps you find the cleanest channel for your location. Additional control options include:

• Adjustable input sensitivity for handling loud or quiet sources

• Switchable RF output for optimizing signal range and battery life

• Mute switches on transmitters for quick audio control

• 42 dB adjustable output range on receivers to match your camera's audio input level

These features offer maximum control with minimal complexity, whether you're working solo or as part of a team.

Backwards Compatibility and Expandability

The EW 500 G4 system is fully backward-compatible with previous Evolution wireless series (G1, G2, G3, and G4). That means you can integrate older Sennheiser handhelds, bodypacks, or receivers without replacing your entire setup. You can even transmit from a single plug-on or bodypack transmitter to multiple receivers simultaneously.
