Part of the range issue is that the G2/3 use the same antenna for all frequencys across the UHF band.
Higher end wireless use antennas cut for a specic frequency block which the units allows to have a narrower front end to lock on to a frequency.
With the G2/3 if you have a problem at 50′ try moving a couple of feet in any direction and the problem should go away.

Better quality in what way? Fidelity, range? Compare the features, specs and cost. Listen to both systems and see what your ears say. Given the choice I would go with the Sennheisers but I’m biased as they are what I use.

“Thanks! I assume this mic won’t pick up handling noise?”
Only if you don’t hold it firmly.

Minor correction.The Sennheiser “G” block is 566-608MHZ, not 470-512MHZ.

The FCC has banned all wireless use above 700MHz. For the Sennheiser wireless that would be the “C” block. To replace the “C” block Sennheiser has added the “G” block. Sennheisers “A” block covers 518-550MHz, the “B” block covers 630-662MHz and the “G” block 470-512MHz.
UHF or Ultra HIgh Frequency is the most used. I think you are referring to the old VHF or Very High Frequency systems. You are much better off buying a frequency agile system than a single frequency system as you can do frequency scans in the area you’re at to find a clear path. What works in “NY” may not work in “LA”
There are also frequency charts for the US & overseas on the Sennheiser website. Nothing is absolute or carved in stone as far as clear RF paths are concerned. It is very hit & miss.

Soundcraft, Mackie or Behringer might fit your needs. Check your local Sam Ash, Guitar Center, etc or do an online search.

Phantom power issue perhaps? 48v phantom required.

You have to feed the speakers from an output. Use the same connection point as the ones you’re replacing.

1st, any sound person you hire will have their own gear that they will use. The NTG-3 is a good choice, go for it. Be sure to get a good shockmount and wind protection (not the foam cover) for it.

They are both good mics, you might also want to look at the Sanken CS2 & CS3e. Listen to all if you can and let your ears decide (and your wallet).
