Hey Ben! Bought this mic, based largely in part to your ecstatic review. 😊 One thing I've always had a challenge with , and I've done a lot of ceremonies, is where to place the Lav Mic for best sound. There are a lot of videos for how to record audio with a Lav...but I struggle to find any with tips for our application (mic'ing an officiant/groom through a PA). Would LOVE to see a follow up to this, demo'ing that. Maybe have an assistant that you place the mic on and demo how it sounds with different placement (collar vs. lapel vs. tie, etc.). 😊 I run into the issue where I get very low vocal volume, slowly turn up with not much response...them RIGHT to feedback. 🤔
sound quality is more caused by the connected microphone then by the send/receive system. I use the shure slx system becasue of my budget but I think sennheiser transceiver systems are superior. Headset microphone I would recommend dpa
Nice! I've used Sennheiser wireless systems for decades, mostly on ENG/EFP video shoots. Obviously, this fixes most of the big headaches I encountered over 30 years, so I'm looking for a paper bag to calm me down, too. Thanks for the sweet review, Ben. BTW, do you think Sennheiser has any interest in producing a portable receiver with some of these same features? (On remote shoots I can't use a rackmount receiver). Thx!
@@NLFXpro I plug directly into my evolve 30m speakers as they have built in mixer. Wondering if I’d be better off still plugging into my Mackie external mixer?
Just found this video while researching, better late than never ...to my knowledge the Q1-6 covers the 470.2-526 MHz band, the R1-6 covers the 520-576 MHz band, and the R4-9 covers the 552-607.8 MHz band. Note that each band is 56MHz wide.
Please note that lav mics cannot be used for PA. Another downside of lav microphones compared to headsets is that the mic position changes constantly as the subject moves his/her head all the time.
@@deejay0076 There never is a black or white answer. It is always a grey thing. Of course it can be done. But why on earth would you get yourself in potential trouble when there are alternative which work way better? Let me rephrase it for the purists: It is not the preferred method and I have never seen it used in my 25 years of sound experience other then in tv studios with selected small audience sitting away from the sound stage and only very low pa volumes and only longer ago as today the headsets or directional microphones on tables are mainly used. Why would that be? So my questions back yo you is: In what situation would a lavaliere in combination with PA be preferred?
@@computerjantje sometimes it is bot a preference of the sound engineer/tech/DJ, but a firm request from an engaged party for their wedding vows (no matter how much you recommend otherwise). Though, I’ve been getting firmer and firmer in my recommendations against lavaliers for weddings - and more and more parties are taking the advice, thankfully.

Wow!!! That's an incredible value for a feature rich mic like that

Great video Ben - the paper bag was hilarious!
Good timing!
Dude, you sold me. Waiting for delivery from NLFX!
Awesome video!!
Is it a dual channel? Lavalier and handheld use at the same time, or it's either one at a time?
Game changer for sure!
you mean for Shure
Shure SLXD or sennheiser EW-D. Which one do you recommend for mobile dj use?
how does this compare the the Shure SLX-D in respect to range and sound quality?

That’s freaking amazing!
I noticed there wasn’t any antennas on the receiver. Are they internal or were they not installed. If so, half wave? BNC?
Will adding directional paddle antennas increase the transmission distance? You mentioned 300 ft line of sight. Is that less than EW 100 series?
Where are the antennas?
Hello im a Sax player and use AKG 470, buta now i have frequency problems, im curiouse about this new EW D. Can you help me? tks

Remote mute controls!!! Wish this feature was EVerywhere ;)
how many mics per receiver? are there color caps for the mic antennae? how much for each additional mic?
One receiver can receive a RF signal from one transmitter.
Is it rack mountable?
Absolutely. Rack kit is included.
Is there a recommended gain and af out setting for the Omni lavs?
Those settings would depend on the user and the mixer.

@@jmoak311 The 30M has a mixer of its own so there's not really any benefit from plugging into the Mackie
Can I ask what is the different variations ie R1-6, R4-9, Q1-6 ?? I'm looking for this new system with two handheld mics what's the best option ?

Slxd vs Ew-d 👌
Which one is better?
Does it have standard receiver antennas?
They come with 1/4 wave antenna. Can purchase half wave separately.
Considering the Lav version for officiants at Weddings. Omnidirectional, or Cardioid for this application?

@@computerjantje lav mics can absolutley be used for PA. yes you things to be concerned about but they are for sure a option.

What's with the shaking camera effect? Just too lazy to get it on a stand or you watched the wrong movies as an example?
