Depending on your budget, the Sennheiser MKE 2, Sanken COS 11, Countryman B6 or EMW are good places to start. They will have to customized with the proper connector for wireless usage.

Be aware that directional lavs if mounted off center on the talent that head turns will cause a drop in level also directional mics are more prone to plosives from p-pops and breath blasts. I would suggest that you try one out as a demo from a dealer with the right of return if it doesn’t work out for you.

All G3’s are the same. The receivers can be either line or mic output depending on where you set the output level. Set at -30 and it’s almost mic level as -40 & below is considered mic level. As you raise the output level you increase the output voltage until you’re into line level territory. “0” is .773vac and +4 is 1.23vac. I’m a firm believer in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” school.

I think you’re missing the point. Receivers are normally line level output. All you can do is attenuate them to a mic level output. Transmitters have mic preamps because most often you’re connecting a mic into them.
That said, by using a system specific wiring configuration you bypass the internal mic preamp and connect to the line stage of the amplification circuit. Less high gain preamps the better.

Almost all gear with XLR inputs & outputs have a way to switch them from mic level to line level. Where possible a line level connection is best to keep any RF issues & preamp noise out of the signal chain. Camera hops (wireless feeds from mixer to camera) are almost always line level in and out.

Of course you can Peter. You can crank up the receivers output to +12 over “0” to feed a line level input. I do it all the time. You can even feed the transmitter a line level input with a properly wired input cable. Do that a lot also.

The 20/20 guide line is for mic level inputs. For a line level input the -20 still applys for the tx but the rx output should be turned up to to “0” or above depending on the input sensitivity of the 702.

Not saying you’re wrong but FWIW, Read my signature line.

I’ve done all the things you say you shouldn’t do and can’t recall any problems. Have you had any problems?
