Hi Carl here from ProAV TV and today I'm going to talk you through the g4 system
from Sennheiser so this replaces the g3 system which has been around for a good
few years now and it's mainly a visual refresh to touch them up a little bit
and make them feel current and modern now in 2018
I mean products like this have a really long life cycle and so that's going to
be very important for a company like Sennheiser because analog sound doesn't
change that much technology hasn't come on that far in recent years and so it
might very well be that in six years time or something like that
these ones are still current models which were all still using I mean they
basically analog transmission still is much more reliable than digital and it
gives you a very low latency and a very long range both of which are things
which digital just can't offer now Digital sound is great that's what I'm
using right now with Sennheiser zone' VX system and I absolutely love this system
but there is slight latency the range is only about 10 meters whereas these are
about hundred meters and they work in a very different way in terms of
transmission and interference and stuff like that I've never had any issues but
I know a lot of sand operas out there just know and Trust of the analog system
and so we're going to carry on using it as long as they can the other reason to
choose analog systems like this is because they can still be much more
flexible for example Sennheiser make these really nice plug on transmitters
which goes straight into an XLR on the back of say a shotgun microphone and
will communicate directly with one of these receivers so for a wireless
boompole this is absolutely fantastic whether you've got a boom operator or
whether you're literally just suspending it on a c-stand above your your subject
in their setup very similar to this one for example I see that done an awful lot
in corporate interviews which you may be shooting with a very very limited crew
probably just yourself and so having a free-standing wireless boom pole means
no-one's trip over any wires and you're gonna get
fantastic crisp sound so we're looking at two different series of products here
from Sennheiser there's the 100 series and the 500 series the reason we've
picked up those two series for use because they're the ones which are most
relevant in Sennheiser's line up to video production 100 is a fantastic
all-purpose system and solution for people in exactly the sort of situation
I've just described if you're trying to do every single job in a production by
yourself a 100 is a fantastic affordable product
which you're going to be able to have a couple of them in your set in your bag
and it's just going to give you really great all-purpose sound the 500 is
definitely more tailored towards professional sound operators the main
difference between the two lineups is the amount of frequencies that are
available to you the 500 can hit many many more frequencies and can actually
be used after 32 channels at once so you're gonna have lots of different
units all on different channels without any worry about interference at all
they're much more flexible once you know what you're doing with all of that sorts
of things whereas the 100 is much more aimed at the sort of plug-and-play
audience similar in some ways to the AV X system
but a little bit more customizable than that so if you're looking for a simple
audio solution in analog sounds like the way to go for you rather than digital
now that they've discontinued the g3 units these g-force are a perfect choice
for you now I know that the feature set isn't that different - it was than it
was on the g3 s which in turn weren't that different than they were on the g2
but I'm very curious to see what you guys think
is there a feature which you wish Sennheiser had added but they hadn't let
me know in the comment section down below
maybe these is this is absolutely perfect for you and you didn't need them
to change anything let me know what you're thinking down in the comment
section and if you want to buy any of the deponents which was about here today
of course the links are down below or just get in touch with our sales team
thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
