This is my wife’s favorite mic. Her voice “pops” in our commercial videos. From my perspective I love the easy set-up and reliability. It’s incredibly compact. Love it!
Another great in-depth dive into these wireless systems ! Really appreciate the extra info you have in your videos ! I have the previous generation of Sennheisers , had to constantly scan frequencies at every different location, that got a bit much , and when I got it wrong a few times at wedding, that wasn’t fun 😭 on another note I noticed Marathon on your shirt , just spent 3 years living there, it’s a special place 🤗👍
wait a second…the receiver doesnt use phantom power but only turns on and off? Are you sure of that?! i have spent almost 1K for this feature only. The MKE2 is on its way to me right now.
I'm afraid I'm quite sure. I think phantom power just isn't enough to power the receiver. Having said that, battery life on the receiver hasn't been a problem for me; and don't forget that the battery is removable, so you can have a spare, and you can power it over USB.
The reason, that the AVX system uses microUSB and not USB-C is, that it was introduced in 2015. It's not a new system. USB-C was introduced in 2014, but the first devices using USB-C weren't around until 2016. Retooling would probably not be worth it for Sennheiser, depending on how many units they sell.
By far this is the best comparison so far. Huge respect for the time and effort you put on to make this video.
Well done Ian, this is top notch….helped me to know which Mic.

Thanks, Ian. Very interesting. I just ordered the AVX with the MKE2. Looking forward to playing with it.
