Sennheiser EW 500 G4-935 Wireless Microphone System – A Professional-Grade Solution for Clear, Reliable Sound

If you're searching for a professional wireless microphone system for live performance, corporate presentations, or house of worship events, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-935 offers a rock-solid solution trusted by audio pros worldwide. Designed for smooth operation in demanding environments, this wireless system delivers crystal-clear sound, dependable transmission, and flexible configuration—making it a go-to choice for vocalists, public speakers, educators, and production teams alike.

At the heart of the system is a robust true-diversity receiver housed in a rugged metal chassis, engineered to perform flawlessly even in RF-dense environments. With an expansive 88 MHz UHF tuning range and up to 3520 selectable frequencies, the receiver automatically scans for the cleanest available channel to avoid interference. Whether you're setting up in a theater, conference hall, or concert venue, you’ll appreciate how effortlessly the system locks onto a stable signal.

The high-contrast OLED display on the receiver makes it easy to navigate settings using the jog wheel, even in low-light environments. The intuitive interface shows vital information such as transmitter battery life, frequency settings, and signal strength, so you can stay in control without missing a beat.

The included SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter features the renowned MMD 935 cardioid dynamic microphone capsule, specifically tuned for vocals and speech. Its cardioid pickup pattern minimizes background noise and feedback, making it an excellent microphone for live vocal performance or spoken-word applications. Built from durable metal and equipped with a backlit LCD screen, the transmitter is both rugged and easy to use.

With up to 8 hours of battery life on two AA batteries, or extended operation using the optional BA 2015 rechargeable battery pack, the handheld mic is built to last through even the longest events. Selectable RF output levels (10, 30, or 50 mW) give you flexibility to overcome signal challenges in crowded RF environments. You can roam freely up to 330 feet from the receiver without dropouts or loss of clarity.

One of the standout features of the EW 500 G4-935 is its compatibility and scalability. It's fully backward-compatible with previous generations of Evolution wireless systems, allowing you to mix and match with G1, G2, G3, and G4 components. Whether you’re expanding your system or replacing older gear, integration is seamless. It also works with Sennheiser’s EW 100 and EW 300 series transmitters and receivers.

For multi-mic setups, the system’s Ethernet port connects directly to Sennheiser’s Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software, offering remote monitoring and advanced frequency coordination across up to 32 microphones operating in the same space. It’s a major time-saver when configuring large-scale productions or events where clean wireless audio is critical.

The modular design of the handheld transmitter supports a wide range of interchangeable capsules, so you can tailor your sound to different performance needs. Options include cardioid, supercardioid, and omnidirectional capsules from Sennheiser’s MMD and MME series—ideal for everything from intimate spoken-word delivery to powerful live vocals.

On the receiver side, you’ll find both balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch outputs, along with a front-panel headphone jack for real-time monitoring. The built-in equalizer lets you shape your sound by adjusting bass and treble levels, and the adjustable output level ensures compatibility with a wide range of mixing consoles and PA systems.

If you’re planning to scale up your wireless setup, detachable antennas with BNC connectors support external antenna systems and antenna splitters like the Sennheiser ASA 214. This opens the door to more advanced configurations, including remote antennas for better coverage and directional antennas for greater range and reliability.

Need even more flexibility? The EW 500 G4-935 system can be paired with Sennheiser’s bodypack transmitters, lavalier microphones, headset mics, or instrument cables. Options like the ME 2-II lav mic or ME 3-II headset give you discreet and comfortable solutions for hands-free performance, while the Ci 1 instrument cable turns your wireless rig into a stage-ready guitar or bass system.

With its exceptional audio quality, user-friendly design, and versatile connectivity, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-935 stands out as one of the best wireless microphone systems for professional use. Whether you're outfitting a house of worship, live venue, university lecture hall, or production stage, this system offers everything you need for confident, high-performance audio.
