About the Sennheiser EM 500 G4 (Sistema Completo)

UHF wireless microphone system from Sennheiser's evolution wireless G4 series: a half-rack true diversity EM 500 G4 receiver and an SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter with the MMD 935-1 head, which Sennheiser says offers the acoustic properties of the e 935 (listed in our catalogue as SKM 935 G4). A vocal set built for live stages and multi-channel setups. Sennheiser no longer offers it for sale on sennheiser.com; for Sennheiser EM 500 G4 (Sistema Completo) rental in Madrid and across Spain, ask us for availability and a quote.

What it is rented for

A handheld wireless vocal mic that can serve singers and presenters at concerts, galas, conferences or weddings. Its balanced XLR output (+18 dBu) sends the signal to the mixing desk, and it could be paired with gear from our catalogue such as the Midas M32r console, Sennheiser IEM EW G4 (Sistema Completo) in-ear monitors or Funktion-One systems like the Res 4 or EVO X. For productions with several wireless mics, each of its 20 factory banks holds up to 32 compatible channels; Easy Setup scans for free frequencies and the Ethernet port allows monitoring with WSM or Control Cockpit.
