Quality Audio for Your Video Applications

Sennheiser's AVX digital wireless microphone system is the easy solution to getting great audio for your video recordings. If you're running an HD or DSLR camera to get the best quality picture you can, why are you compromising your shots with mic cables or worse, trying to get decent audio with your camera's onboard mic? With a receiver that plugs right into your camera's XLR audio connections (or 1/8" input using the included adapter) and virtually no set-up, Sennheiser's AVX digital wireless makes getting your videos the audio it deserves easy.

Sennheiser AVX Digital Wireless Microphone System at a Glance:
  • Compact format with full-size operation
  • Sennheiser sound and powerful wireless transmission
  • Not just for video
Compact format with full-size wireless operation

With 1.9GHz digital wireless operation, Sennheiser's AVX wireless microphone systems stay well out of range of other digital transmission devices that usually flood other frequency ranges, leaving your audio susceptible to signal dropouts and interference. At Sweetwater, we keep a close eye on the dwindling frequency situation to make sure that when we send you a wireless microphone or instrument system that you'll be able to use it for years to come. Just plug the receiver directly in to your camera's XLR input, or use the included adapter and hot shoe attachment when using 1/8" audio inputs, press the pair button, and you are ready to record. Most professional cameras these days have an XLR input that also provides phantom power - the AVX receiver turns itself on and off automatically when it detects the phantom power from your camera, saving you precious battery power while you're shooting. If you've already got lights or other attachments mounted on your camera, no worries - the AVX receiver swivels to get out of your way. Great audio doesn't get much more convenient than the AVX!

Sennheiser sound and powerful wireless transmission

The Sennheiser MKE 2 is a premium version of an industry-standard omnidirectional lavalier microphone that works well in many different environments. Its slim design and light weight makes it both easy to conceal and unobtrusive to wear. With reduced sensitivity as well as a special umbrella diaphragm, this mic is designed to protect against moisture and sweat. Combined with a rechargeable AVX body pack, you have a convenient, great-sounding wireless option. And the transmitter automatically matches your camera's input sensitivity without you having to do any level adjustments onboard the camera or the microphone itself. Yes, it's that simple to get great audio, even on those occasions when a dedicated audio engineer just isn't in the budget.

Not just for video

What else can you use AVX wireless systems for? Use it with handheld recorders for interviews when you don't need to record video and don't want to carry around mic cables. If you're using a digital mixer, the AVX system plugs into the stage box right there onstage - the transmitter and receiver will be well within the 98-foot transmission range eliminating any distance-related issues you've had and all without having to run a single cable to your front of house mix position. AV rental houses that use a number of wireless systems for general session and keynote speakers can simply plug the receivers into an analog snakebox onstage and run the signal to wherever in the room the client positions tech central. This cuts down on the number of XLR cables that have to leave the warehouse and common cable failures will be completely avoided. In fact, when you combine all of that with the AVX's 1.9GHz digital operation and automatic transmitter-receiver pairing, rental houses will substantially reduce the amount of time and error that goes into setting up multi-system wireless setups, saving time, money, and reputation.

Sennheiser AVX Digital Wireless Microphone System Features:
  • Optimized dynamic range means no more overload or distortions
  • Super-fast setup - just plug in and record
  • Reliable transmission with link protection
  • Plugs directly into XLR audio input without dangling cables
  • Ultra compact receiver is lightweight and takes up minimal space
  • Phantom power detection helps you maximize operation time with auto on/off
  • Easy automatic frequency management
  • AES 256 encryption protects your content
  • No license required to operate
  • Accessories included for DSLR use
  • Robust metal housing for daily use

I'm impressed

Had the Seinheiser AVX for a week. Wow! No hits in a crowded convention center!
I use it with my mixer, but could convert it to hops in a few seconds if needed. Love the fact you don't have to worry about switching from line to mic. This is a no brainer and I'm sold. Ready to purchase more!!

Sennheiser AVX wireless system-MKE2

I think this system is fantastic. I have been researching wireless systems for some time now. I decided to pull the trigger. This is what you need in order to get great quality audio into your videos.The setup is effortless, the MKE2 microphone sounds great. I was going to buy the more economic mic, but decided to go all the way. I am so glad I did!!!!! It's compact, the receiver swivels, and it is a light weight system. All I need to do now, is make sure I buy another battery just in case I need more juice. Ha....I can use my trusty usb charger to do that... Charge the receivers battery. Oh!!! How convenient!!! I recommend this product!!!! Thanks Sweetwater for the fast service.

Not looking back

We bought 2 Sennheiser's AVX wireless microphone systems for our video production company about a month ago. They have been in daily use ever since. We had our Lectrosonics Wireless Microphones for almost 15 years and loved them, so the Sennheiser AVX system had a tough system to measure up against. The Lectrosonics still worked fine, but one was now on a sold-off frequency and the other was soon to be. The Lectrosonics were also three times the cost of the Sennheiser.

In nearly 100 hours of use we heard only one quick pop which our very experienced sound person said was an RF hit. Our receiver was almost 200 feet away inside a packed church likely full of cell phones. Less than half a mile away was a sold out MLB baseball game with tons of RF audio and video flying around. Not to mention 30,000+ cell phones.

Our two systems performed like champs. Great audio, battery life and flawless pairing. Pay the extra bucks and buy the MKE2 lav, it clearly sounds better. If I had one beef it would be to improve the build quality to that of Lectrosonics. I would gladly pay a little more. I would absolutely buy these again.

In our personal studios, you'll find plenty of HD 280 Pro headphones, e609 Silver cab mics, and other staples, while many of us rely on EW wireless in-ear systems onstage.
