Description

Today, Sennheiser is one of the oldest and most respected microphone companies. Sennheiser microphones are generally considered to be one of the high-quality “standards” in all of the “audio” industries, and are highly regarded for two main reasons: their smooth sound and build quality. With the introduction of this line of wireless transducers, transmitters and receivers, the G2 evolution 100 entered the scene, firmly cementing the company’s commitment to wireless technology. The microphone is, literally and figuratively, a “native” Sennheiser: the portable cardioid dynamics sound smooth and round with a frequency increase of about 10 kHz. As such, the mic carefully avoids any tendency to “bark” at you – a trait common to many other brands of mics – and its high-frequency response appears wider and silkier, providing excellent reproduction of vocal nuances even from tired speakers.

And, like most other Sennheisers wireless systems, their tonality remains consistent and rich no matter where they roam, unlike many other brands that can become “murky” in their ” wireless” form. The radio is essentially color-free, providing consistency across the entire range, which is an important advantage for anyone who needs to mix and match wireless and wired microphones. The rugged design of the Sennheiser portable is virtually identical to the earlier Evolution and follows in the tradition of what are often called “dangerous” microphones… an irritated musician not being gentle with equipment that appears on the microphone, but not on the Sennheiser microphone. This thing feels like a gun: it feels really good in your hand, lets you know it’s not a toy, and reacts in a very business-like manner. The mic runs on two AA batteries (which only need 3V) instead of a 9V unit, which is handy not only because they’re cheaper to run – you’d be surprised how many batteries you can use on tour – but they also last longer (up to 12 hours).

The mic also has an improved battery gauge that is more like a fuel gauge rather than giving you a rudimentary red light that tells you you’re low on power, often only after it’s too late! (As a word of caution: now that the mic uses AA batteries, don’t be tempted to use rechargeable batteries: the mic’s power indicator is only meant to read alkaline batteries; if you’re using rechargeable batteries, they’ll look “charged” until they disappear from the radar). The microphone also has a backlit screen which makes it very easy to read on a dark stage. Very convenient. The G2 100 series also uses an automatic frequency scanner to fine-tune and maintain good microphone “locking”. The robust construction of the portable microphones combined with their excellent response makes them a great choice for touring and installations, while the range and ease of use have made this microphone a hit on the record, perfect for any event from a birthday party to a rock concert. .
