The Tascam DA-P1 also accepts RCA line level input. If you do not have enough XLR outs, you could take 3.5m m (such as a headphone or tape out) 3.5mm to rca male y cable would be needed. Not sure what direct outs the SQN series offers. The SD442 has two hirose outs, as well as xlr and ta3. Take your pick on the outs.

There is no such thing as a “day for night” filter. You could use nd filters stacked together or a polarizer, then underexpose.

What kind of mixer are you using?

What I meant earlier is that both transmitters and receivers should be on separate blocks, not just the transmitters.
Sorry for confusion:) -
The correct and trouble free way is to get two SEPARATE transmitters and receivers. Try to get the transmitters on separate frequency blocks if you can. Don’t try to hack around the obvious. It will only cause you much frustration and regret later on.

Sounds about right.

Need to clarify what I meant by panning on “1” I meant Left channel, and “2” Right channel.

Should be a pan switch or knob for each input gain control; Pan the wireless on 1, boom on 2. Make sure Producer knows which will be which, either by verbal or write on the tape label. Relax, Record, Invoice:)

I’ve owned the Sennheiser G2 Evoloution series for three years. I’ve been up to fifty feet away from talent and or camera with no drop out. Sounds like you were having rf interference issues. Or maybe your mic was not connected properly? All it takes is a little play in the connection to wreak havoc.
Was the studio you were shooting in near any high rf transmitters i.e. cell towers, airport, etc? Sennheiser website has a frequency chart showing compatible frequency blocks in your area. Also check Lectrosonics website for same.If you are going wireless to camera, then ask your cameraman to monitor the audio through headsets, not the earhole on the side of the camera (broadcast models only, mini dv/hdv don’t offer) If he refuses then make sure Producer is aware that there could be quality control issues you are not adherently responisble for. It’s impossible to guarantee quality, if everyone is not on board to maintain it. Like the previoius poster stated fresh batts, and getting the transmitter up high also helps for distance purposes, try to keep trans/receivers in “line of sight” as much as possible. The G2s do not have the range Lectros do; but in the studio environments I’ve used mine in, I have never had any problems.
FWIW. -
I don’t know where you got your information from. I have shot several sunrises and sunsets with the HVX 200 with no problems, just gorgeous footage.
It’s not always the camera….
