Description

The Sennheiser EW 122P G4 camera-mount wireless lavalier microphone system features the proven combination of reliability, flexible control, and broadcast-quality sound that has made the EW Series an industry standard for videographers, journalists, and content creators all over the world.

The EW 122P G4 gives you the tools to adapt and meet the wireless challenges that inevitably arise on set. The frequency scan function automatically searches for the cleanest frequency at your location, while the adjustable input sensitivity on the transmitter accommodates mic levels ranging from booming voices to quiet speech, and even line-level audio.

The system includes an ME 4 cardioid lavalier mic, a bodypack transmitter, and a camera-mount receiver. It connects to a camcorder or a DSLR/mirrorless camera to capture crisp-sounding speech or dialog in noisy environments, for projects ranging from documentaries to wedding videos, corporate spots, and hands-free interviews.

The EW 122P G4 is backward-compatible with previous evolution systems, giving you the ability to mix and match G4/G3/G2/G1 receivers or bodypack, handheld, and plug-on transmitters. It is also compatible with EW 500 systems.

Built for Dependable Performance in the Field
The EW 122P G4 features rugged, all-metal chassis well suited for extended use on location. The lightweight and compact bodypack transmitter is easy to conceal. Its rounded edges are soft to the touch making it comfortable to wear for the talent. A locking connector ensures that your lav doesn’t detach at a critical moment, while a convenient switch allows you to mute your mic.
Using the included shoemount adapter, the equally compact receiver easily mounts on your camera without adding much weight. The included cables allow you to connect the receiver to the 3.5mm or XLR audio input of any DSLR/mirrorless, camcorder, or recording device.
Both transmitter and receiver feature LED displays showing reception quality, battery status, and audio level. To get you going quickly, they synchronize via infrared interface, with the simple push of a button.
Proven Broadcast-Quality Sound
The EW 122P G4 ships with an ME 4 cardioid lavalier microphone, which delivers a natural sound optimized for speech intelligibility. Its directional cardioid polar pattern helps to reject unwanted background sound, making it ideal in loud environments such as trade-show floors, busy public areas, or sporting events.
To take full advantage of the ME 4’s dynamic range, the system employs proprietary HDX compander technology, preserving your sound without adding unwanted noise during transmission, and delivering audio with remarkable accuracy and quality.
