G3 516-558 MHz”

You mean the Sennheiser A block? Then yes, they are reasonably safe in the USA.

Thanks I heard that they will be bidding off another set of bandwidths and was wondering. And the thread below Audio-Technica System 10 or Rodelink Wireless system? had me wondering.

Hello Craig,

Yes, they’re looking at the 600MHz band this year, so you’re safe with those.

Good to know.

What’s your take on the ‘Audio-Technica System 10 or Rodelink Wireless system?’ thread below?

Is this the wave of the future or are the G3s still a solid pro starting point for wireless kits?

If I were to get a couple of higher end kits, what would you recommend?

Other than better reception and being less prone to interference is there a noticeable difference in audio quality as you move to the next level of quality.

We get very manageable reception and signal strength in the studio and surrounds.

Occasionally I have to pick a new channel as something new is in the air causing static.

I have countryman’s lavs for them. And E-6s. And a plug on with phantom. The countryman made more of a difference with the G2s than G3 but better than both.

I also use the kits for wireless connection between mixer and camera.

With this years budget I’m getting high end k-tek graphite boom poles and pm55 so the boom ops can monitor.
