Title: Sennheiser EK 300 G3 vs Icom r6 IEM devices
Post by: emalvido on May 14, 2012, 02:22:35 PM
Hello:
Wanna do some IEM test tapings, perhaps making afterwards a MIX with my usual taping equipment
Recommended device, the the Sennheiser G3  using the B band
But. also I have found some tapings done with the Icom R6

Before a final decision Im stronlgy to get the G3 but I have some questions:

The G3 manages stereo output, but!!! what if at this particular show,  a Mhz band is not covered by it? Im screwed?
The Icom R6 I have read that covers a full bandwit, for sure I wilkl catch a signal right? but  in Mono

Should I go with the G3?
or Any other recomnendation?
Thanks!!!
Ed

I think there are some production people here who are more familiar with wireless systems, but my question would be why do you use wireless? You have a risk of interference with any wireless devices that the production is using. Spend the money on microphones and other gear. And cables.

If you are wanting an IEM system - the EK 100 G3 is NOT suitable - it's not a headphone output.  You need the EK 300 IEM G3 for this.
