Sennheiser EW 512P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System (AW+: 470 to 558 MHz)

Sennheiser EW 512P G4 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System for Professional Camera Audio

If you're a filmmaker, journalist, or content creator who needs high-quality wireless audio in dynamic real-world environments, the Sennheiser EW 512P G4 delivers a powerful and flexible solution designed for professional performance on the go. This camera-mount lavalier mic system is engineered to provide crystal-clear audio capture, even in RF-dense areas like busy cities or crowded event spaces.

At the core of the EW 512P G4 system is a reliable UHF transmission platform that offers a wide 88 MHz tuning bandwidth and access to over 3500 selectable frequencies. This means you can find clean, interference-free channels even in challenging locations. With the ability to run up to 32 microphones in one space, the system is ideal for multi-camera setups, live productions, documentaries, and corporate shoots.

Included in the kit is Sennheiser’s premium MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone, known for its clear, broadcast-quality sound and discreet profile. It’s easy to conceal and built to withstand sweat and humidity, making it a go-to choice for interviews, live reporting, and on-location filming. The mic connects to the lightweight SK 500 G4 bodypack transmitter, which clips easily to clothing and features a locking connector for secure attachment and a convenient mute switch for live use.

The camera-mount EK 500 G4 receiver offers a compact and rugged design that fits neatly on your DSLR, mirrorless, or cinema camera using the included shoe-mount adapter. Two output cables are provided—one for balanced XLR inputs and another for standard 3.5mm jacks—so you’re ready to connect to just about any camera or recorder. A built-in headphone jack lets you monitor the audio in real time, so you can catch issues before they affect your take.

Setup is fast and straightforward. The system uses infrared syncing to pair the transmitter and receiver with a single button press. You can scan for the clearest frequency in your area, and choose between three RF output power levels to maximize signal strength or preserve battery life. Both the transmitter and receiver feature high-visibility displays with key info like battery status, signal strength, and audio levels, all easy to read in daylight.

With Sennheiser’s proprietary HDX compander technology, your audio stays clean and natural, without the harsh artifacts or hiss that can sometimes plague wireless systems. The MKE 2 mic’s omnidirectional pickup pattern captures consistent sound even when the speaker moves, ensuring your recordings stay focused and intelligible.

Built for durability and long sessions, the EW 512P G4 system offers up to 8 hours of operation on standard AA batteries, or you can upgrade to Sennheiser’s BA 2015 rechargeable battery pack for added convenience. When paired with the optional L 2015 charging station, you can even recharge the batteries without removing them from the transmitter or receiver.

Whether you're capturing dialog for a film, recording an interview in the field, or streaming a live event, the Sennheiser EW 512P G4 gives you the pro-level tools you need to deliver clear, dependable audio every time. With full backward compatibility across the entire Evolution Wireless series, you can also mix and match with existing Sennheiser G1, G2, G3, or G4 components to expand your setup as needed.

For creators who demand flexibility, sound quality, and rugged reliability in one complete package, the EW 512P G4 stands out as a trusted choice for modern content production.
