Sennheiser EW 100 ENG G4 Wireless Lapel Microphone System

Sennheiser EW 100 ENG G4 Wireless Microphone Combo Set

The EW 100 ENG G4 is Sennheiser’s portable wireless combo set for electronic news gathering, documentary and content production. It covers the two microphone situations a camera operator meets daily: the ME 2-II lavalier on the SK 100 G4 bodypack transmitter gives the presenter a discreet clip-on microphone with broadcast speech quality, and the SKP 100 G4 plug-on transmitter converts any wired handheld microphone into a wireless reporter mic in seconds. The EK 100 G4 receiver mounts on the camera’s shoe and feeds the camera directly.

G4 radio performance is the proven evolution wireless platform: up to 42 MHz of switching bandwidth with 1,680 tunable frequencies, automatic frequency management, HDX companding and up to 100 metres of line-of-sight range – the reliability ENG crews depend on when there is no second take.

ENG Workflow, Covered Both Ways

Interview segments usually mix two setups: a lavalier for the subject who stays in frame, and a handheld for the reporter or vox pops. Owning both transmitters in one set means the receiver stays on the camera and you swap transmitters as the shot changes – no re-rigging, no second receiver. The plug-on transmitter’s standard XLR input accepts dynamic reporter microphones without phantom power complications, and its mute switch is positioned for presenter control. Confirm the frequency band variant of this listing matches your region’s available spectrum before purchase.

Audio Quality

The HDX compander system keeps the noise floor low enough that quiet location sound and whispered dialogue stay clean, and the receiver’s adaptive diversity reception guards against dropouts as the subject moves. A headphone output on the receiver lets the operator monitor audio at the camera – the check that saves interviews. Full technical data is listed in the specifications below.
