The Sennheiser EW 500 FILM G4 is a camera-mount wireless lavalier microphone system that brings advanced features to the EW Series, expanding this industry-standard system into a fully professional, yet cost-effective solution that filmmakers, videographers, and journalists can rely on—even in challenging shooting environments like big cities.

The rugged EW 512P G4 combines a wide 88 MHz bandwidth with 3520 frequencies and an RF output level up to 50 mW for a clean transmission and broadcast-quality sound. Depending on your location, you can operate up to 32 mics in one space.

Designed to accommodate a broad range of applications, the EW 500 FILM G4 gives you the tools to adapt to various shooting scenarios. For hands-free interviews, the system includes a bodypack transmitter with a high-grade, miniature MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier mic, which is sweat-resistant and easy to conceal. For man-on-the-street interviews or for wireless booming, the plug-on transmitter is ready to attach to a handheld or shotgun mic of your choice (both types of mics are available separately). It also provides 48V phantom power, giving you the option to use a condenser microphone.

The camera-mount receiver connects to a camcorder, a DSLR/mirrorless, or a cinema camera to capture crisp-sounding speech or dialog for projects ranging from films and documentaries to wedding videos, corporate spots, and hands-free interviews.

The EW 500 FILM G4 is backward-compatible with previous evolution systems, including EW 100 models, giving you the ability to mix and match G4/G3/G2/G1 receivers or bodypack, handheld, and plug-on transmitters.

Note: While this system includes two transmitters, only one can be used at a time.

Rugged, all-in-one wireless system for professional interviews and recording. Set consisting of 1 SK 500 G4 bodypack, 1 MKE 2 lavalier microphone, SKP 500 G4 plug-on with phantom power, EK 500 G4 portable camera receiver and accessories.

The professional‘s choice for broadcast quality sound. Providing the highest flexibility for your video sound and field recording applications. A robust wireless microphone system that offers ultimate sound quality, simple mounting and ease of use.

Covers all sorts of applications on the set: The 48V phantom-power equipped SKP 500 turns all wired mics into a wireless transmitter, the MKE 2 Gold is a state-of-the-art professional clip-on microphone offering the highest speech intelligibility.

Built for Reliable Performance in the Field

The EW 500 BOOM G4 features rugged, all-metal chassis well suited for extended use on location.

The lightweight, compact bodypack transmitter is moisture-resistant, easy to conceal, and offers rounded edges that are soft to the touch and comfortable for the talent to wear. The plug-on transmitter attaches to any dynamic or condenser microphone equipped with an XLR connector. Both transmitters are equipped with locking connectors ensuring your mic doesn’t detach at a critical moment. Each also feature a convenient mute switch.

Using the included shoemount adapter, the compact receiver easily mounts on your camera without adding much weight. The included CL 500 cable provides a balanced connection from the receiver to the XLR audio input of your camcorder, cinema camera, or recording device. The CL 1 cable is for DSLR/mirrorless cameras and devices with 3.5mm inputs. A headphone output lets you monitor the quality of your sound while recording.

The transmitters and receiver feature daylight-readable LED displays showing reception quality, battery status, and audio level.
