An Amazingly Reliable Handheld System

Sennheiser's ew 500-945 G4 gives you tour-ready, secure wireless that's easy to use. This wireless system's SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter features a tight supercardioid pattern, so it picks up the vocalist while eliminating feedback. Both the transmitter and the included EM 500 G4 rackmount receiver operate on an 88MHz bandwidth, which provides a massive 3,520 tunable frequencies in each of Sennheiser's designated frequency bands — and more frequencies means fewer dropouts and interference. The ew 500-945 G4's OLED display features automatic dimming, a blue sync LED, red warning LED, and dedicated Escape button. You'll also benefit from increased power, remote operation, and backward compatibility with previous evolution systems.

A pro-quality system that's easy to use

Sennheiser's ew 500-945 G4 provides pro-quality wireless performance. Yet, it's also super easy to use, thanks to its auto-frequency scan feature. And if you make changes on the included EM 500 G4 rackmount receiver, all you have to do is push "sync" and those changes automatically go out to the included SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter. It's fast and totally pain-free. If you do want to dig into its deep features, though, you'll find plenty to be excited about. The ew 500-945 G4 supplies up to 32 channels with up to 88MHz of bandwidth and an Ethernet port for remote control via Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager (WSM).

e945 capsule exhibits excellent onstage performance

The SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter's e945 capsule employs a tight supercardioid pickup pattern for superior feedback and off-axis rejection. It offers a powerful sound that's smooth, yet extremely rich in detail. You'll also appreciate its resistance to handling noise.

Rated 5/5
Sennheiser EW 500-945 G4 Wireless Handheld
This is actually my 2nd mic I just retired my 2 gen senn and upgraded to this. It was the best investment I have encouraged my friends to buy one and once they tried mine they quickly purchased one.. it"s the Bentley of microphones..

From their studio-standard MD 421 II drum mic to their trusty headphones and ultra-reliable wireless systems, there are countless good reasons why the artists and engineers here at Sweetwater are quick to recommend Sennheiser products. 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. Our long association with Sennheiser means we constantly have their latest products in stock and in our hands, so we're ready to tell you all about them. If you're looking for Sennheiser gear, then get the information you need from people who use it - trust your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
