If you’re looking for a professional-grade wireless microphone system that delivers outstanding clarity in challenging environments, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 with MMD 945 capsule and Bubblebee’s short-haired Big Windbubble is an excellent choice. Whether you're recording interviews in windy outdoor locations, leading a presentation in a packed auditorium, or performing live on stage, this all-in-one kit offers the tools you need for reliable, high-quality sound transmission.

Designed for professionals in broadcast, theater, houses of worship, and live performance settings, this wireless handheld mic system offers enhanced control, durability, and sound precision. It also includes a high-performance windscreen from Bubblebee Industries, which helps reduce wind interference during outdoor recordings, making it especially useful for journalists and field reporters.

At the heart of this setup is the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 wireless microphone system. Known for its dependability and ease of use, the system features an SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter paired with the MMD 945 supercardioid dynamic capsule. This capsule is engineered to capture clear, detailed vocals while rejecting background noise, making it ideal for high-energy performances and speech applications in loud environments.

With a wide UHF frequency range of 470 to 558 MHz and up to 3520 selectable frequencies, the system can automatically scan for the cleanest available channel, minimizing interference and dropouts. Its true-diversity EM 300-500 G4 receiver ensures stable audio by constantly comparing signals from two antennas to maintain the strongest connection possible.

The OLED display on the receiver is easy to read in any lighting, and its intuitive interface—complete with a jog wheel—makes quick adjustments simple and stress-free, even mid-performance. The receiver is housed in a rugged metal chassis built to withstand daily use in demanding environments. The Ethernet port supports Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager software, allowing you to coordinate frequencies, monitor battery life, and manage multi-channel setups from a Mac or PC.

The SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter is lightweight yet durable, with a backlit LCD screen that displays battery life and frequency settings. It offers selectable RF output levels of 10, 30, or 50mW, giving you flexibility to boost signal strength in congested RF environments. With a range of up to 330 feet and up to eight hours of operation on two AA batteries, it’s built for long sessions and big stages. It’s also compatible with rechargeable battery packs and docking chargers for added convenience.

The MMD 945 capsule can be swapped with a range of other Sennheiser mic heads, giving you flexibility to tailor the sound to your environment. This includes options like the MMD 835, MMD 845, and condenser capsules such as the MME 865. Whether you need a capsule with broader pickup or tighter directionality, this modular design gives you room to grow and adapt.

Enhancing the system further is the included Bubblebee Industries Big Windbubble windscreen. Designed for use with handheld microphones, this short-haired faux fur windscreen provides excellent protection against wind noise without affecting vocal clarity. Its inner mesh and elastic mount ensure a snug, secure fit, making it a favorite among outdoor content creators and location sound professionals who want reliable results in unpredictable conditions.

With backward compatibility across all generations of Sennheiser Evolution Wireless systems, you can integrate this mic with existing EW 100, EW 300, or earlier G series components. It’s a future-proof investment that offers maximum flexibility, whether you're expanding your current rig or upgrading your gear.

For those building a complete wireless system, Sennheiser also offers a variety of compatible accessories. Add a bodypack transmitter with a lavalier or headset microphone for hands-free speech, or connect a guitar or instrument using the Ci 1 cable. The receiver’s detachable antennas can be extended using optional splitters and directional antennas for broader coverage and improved RF performance in complex multi-mic setups.

From studio-quality vocal reproduction to dependable wireless performance in busy RF environments, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 Wireless Handheld Microphone System with MMD 945 capsule and Windbubble Kit offers everything audio professionals need to capture clear, interference-free sound indoors and outdoors.
