With the MKE2 mic, my editor noticed the difference in sound quality so much vs the previous lavs I have used, that he made a point to comment on it. The dynamic range is truly impressive - a dog barking straight at my subject peaked out the shotgun, but this lav handled the spike impressively. And as a frequent solo shooter, I love how easy and reliable this thing is to use. Love it! I've seen some gripes about the built-in batteries on the receiver, but I just carry a couple small USB battery packs with me, and have had no trouble at all running out of juice. ... More

I shoot with a C100 & 5D Mark III and have been using the Audio Technica System 10 wireless lavs for about a year now. They have been great so far but now that I use the c100 more often the need for XLR inputs is preferred. The AVX blows the Audio Technica System 10 out of the water!!! Clarity, quality, and a solid feel come to mind when describing this product. It's a professional solution to a videographer's audio needs. Rechargeable units is always a plus as well! I'm looking forward to great year with the two kits i purchased through B&H!! ... More

I'm the perfect audience for the AVX system. It's easy, fast and so far in three shoots the sound is great. Found it's weakness on set the other day. We are shooting outdoors, in NYC in Bryant Park. A very busy airspace. Camera 15 feet from subject, they stay linked. Talent walks into shot from 30 feet, it's struggling to stay linked. I cycled them on/off - better. But had to cycle them 2 more times to get though. They just don't carry the distance 500 series or Lectro's do. Know their limits

I bought this mic and practically took it out of the box at a shoot. Search YouTube for the Sennheiser video with the soft spoken bearded guy. He literally teaches you everything you need to know on how to use this in like 2 minutes. It's so easy and the sound quality was great! Pairing it with the handheld mic was just as easy.

I have been using the set for the last couple of weeks and really it so far. The only downside is the battery life of the receiver (attached to my DSLR) is limited. I tried charging the battery while in use (via USB), but it introduces unbearable noise immediately. It would have been nice if they allowed the battery to charge while in use (hence the 4 stars).

This digital wireless mic is worth the price. Plain and simple, it's worth it. Build quality is robust yet refined. Pairing is as simple as turning the units on (they literally pair themselves). Battery recharges quickly and lasts for 16-17 hours and it has a very accurate digital battery readout. Mic is crispy clear and clean with a perfect mix of bass and treble.

I have been using Sennheiser wireless lav mics for a number of years. The RF hits in one particular area where we have beeen filming recently to my units operating in the 500 megahertz spectrum was driving me mad trying to find a clean channel. Switching to the AVX seems to have cured my intermod hits issues. The MKE2 mic is a noticeable upgrade in voice quality.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this mic system sounds. I have been using this set up for dialogue. The sound is full, round and clean, something you expect when recording with a condenser microphone. Above all, I love the xlr receiver. It is small and you can easily plug it in a handheld recorder or other professional audio interfaces.

The little receiver is so compact it fits on my camera without interfering with the camera functions. Also there's no need for a shoe mount! Granted it's expensive but for an investment piece it's a great choice. Sound quality is exceptional and the lav mic is tiny. The only drawback is the tiny power buttons. If you have sausage-like fingers you will need to use something to press the buttons.

My experience with other Sennheiser microphones was already good, but the new AVX with MKE2 lavalier is fantastic. The elimination of ambient noise added to the leveling of the volume peaks, leaves the system unbeatable. I use it to capture interviews on auto racing tracks and this is the best kit I've ever used.

Use mostly for interviews. I really like the audio quality and the compactness of the gear. I carry a USB battery charging device with me to keep the receiver charged during breaks. I really hasn't been a problem, just being cautious. The transmitter goes all day no problem. You have to get used to it's auto level. It works really well and is not at all like an AGC. Very pleased so far.
