The ew 500 G4-965 Wireless Handheld Microphone System from Sennheiser is ideal for professional live performances. This set comes with a rugged SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter, 1 MMK 965-1 capsule, EM 300-500 G4 rackmount receiver, GA3 rack kit, and mic clip.
Offering more sensitivity and clarity, the 865-1 cardioid/supercardioid capsule rejects unwanted stage noise from the sides and rear, so you can capture your vocals while minimizing pick-up of other instruments or sound sources. The handheld mic’s condenser design is characterized by better sound sensitivity than a dynamic mic, enabling it to capture more natural, detailed audio.
