Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 Wireless Handheld Microphone System with MMD 945 Capsule & Short-Haired Big Windbubble Kit (GW1: 558 to 608 MHz)

Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 Wireless Microphone System with MMD 945 Capsule and Short-Haired Big Windbubble Kit (GW1 Band: 558 to 608 MHz)

Built for live performance, outdoor interviews, and high-pressure presentation environments, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 wireless microphone system with MMD 945 dynamic capsule and short-haired Big Windbubble windscreen offers the clarity, durability, and flexibility audio professionals demand. Whether you’re on stage or on location, this system gives you the tools to deliver clear, feedback-resistant sound—even in less-than-ideal conditions.

At the heart of the system is the EM 300-500 G4 true-diversity receiver, which operates across a 50 MHz UHF tuning range with up to 2000 selectable frequencies. The receiver's auto-scan function helps you find the cleanest available channel, even in RF-crowded environments. The rugged half-rack unit features a high-contrast OLED display and jog wheel interface, giving you quick access to settings and real-time system info—even in dark or fast-paced environments.

The SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter pairs seamlessly with the MMD 945 supercardioid dynamic capsule, a performance-focused mic head designed for clarity and isolation. Its tight pickup pattern helps eliminate background noise and significantly reduces feedback, making it ideal for loud stages or acoustically reflective spaces. With up to 8 hours of battery life using two standard AA batteries and adjustable RF power output (10, 30, or 50 mW), you get a system that adapts easily to both small setups and large productions.

A standout addition to this kit is the Bubblebee Big Windbubble Windscreen with short black faux-fur. Specifically designed for handheld microphones, it delivers excellent wind protection for outdoor vocal capture. The dense faux-fur exterior and internal mesh lining reduce wind noise without altering your voice’s natural tone, while the secure elastic mount keeps it snugly in place on any standard handheld mic.

The system is designed to support complex multi-mic setups, too. With Ethernet connectivity, the receiver works with Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software for remote control and frequency coordination. You can run up to 32 compatible wireless microphones in the same space while managing them all from a single Mac or PC. The receiver’s output includes both balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch connections, with an adjustable output level and built-in equalizer for fine-tuning your sound.

For added flexibility, the handheld transmitter supports interchangeable mic capsules, including popular options like the MMD 835, MMD 845, MMD 935, MME 865, and MMD 42. It also works with Sennheiser bodypack transmitters, allowing you to pair the receiver with lavalier mics, headset mics, or instrument cables. This makes the EW 500 G4-945 a scalable solution for everything from live music to corporate AV and field reporting.

Built for compatibility, the EW 500 G4-945 is backward-compatible with all Evolution Wireless generations, including G1, G2, G3, and G4 components, as well as EW 100 and EW 300 systems. So whether you’re expanding an existing setup or starting from scratch, it fits right in.

The system also includes a rackmount kit, international power adapters, and detachable BNC antennas, which allow for remote antenna setups with optional splitters and directional antennas to boost coverage and stability.

If you're looking for a professional wireless microphone setup that combines stage-ready sound quality, rugged design, and outdoor functionality, the Sennheiser EW 500 G4-945 with MMD 945 capsule and Bubblebee Big Windbubble delivers powerful results for serious audio professionals.
