The best guitar/bass wireless I have ever used.
This might be long but I want to write a good review. In a nutshell, this is the best wireless I Have ever used. Perfectly clear, range is excellent and I can use this for my bass or guitar. That said, these are the PROS and CONS:
Pros:
Excellent range
Excellent Clarity
Easy Setup
Durable
Display on transmitter and receiver is excellent. (Battery indicator is displayed on the rack)
Cons:
Rack mount bracket is a bit funky
The included instrument cable is a joke (buy a backup)
The BNC cables should be included and are not.
The rack gets screwed together and it fits as expected. The design and layout of the rack is questionable but it works as expected. The transmitter cable is an absolute joke. Its a cheap flimsy cable and it was obvious when I set it up it was a matter of time before it malfunctioned. This is the spare I bought which is infinitely better:
TISINO 1/8 to 1/4 Stereo Cable, 3.5mm to 1/4 Adapter Aux Cord Stereo Audio Cable for Guitar, Keyboard Piano, Laptop, Home Theater Devices, Speaker and Amplifiers -Nylon Braid 3ft
The BNC extenders should have been included for racking and for $600 they should have been. The ones that Sennheiser sells are outrageously expensive $40-$50 and you have to order them. I bought these and they work PERFECTLY:
Eightwood BNC Bulkhead Female to BNC Male Right Angle Adapter RG58 Cable 50cm /1.6 feet
I would highly recommend buying a spare transmitter cable and keep it handy. Although it doesn't screw to the transmitter like the Sennheiser, the quality is infinitely better and the screw down function isnt necessary.
Overall, this unit is incredible! I hate noise when I play and I dont hear any introduced by this unit. Phenomenal!!!

Everything great!
I have nothing negative to say. Everything arrived on time and in perfect working condition. I guess at one point the Sennheiser mics came with a hard case. I guess I watched too many YouTube video which depicted that. So, I had to purchase a padded case. No big deal.

$500? Maybe. Worth more than others? Yes!
This is quality in every sense. ONE COMPLAINT: Battery changing experience is NOT a breeze, Very cumbersome to release (take out) the used up batteries. So not easy! Besides that, all is so quality; from sound to physical durability, from perfection to flexibility. Settings is right there on the transmitter (handheld mic) SENNHEISER Shines as usual.

Fantastic quality and sound
I love the feel of these. Initially I bought a $100 set to see if I could get away with them for occasional use and the answer was a resounding no. The investment in the Sennheiser was well worth it.

Great out of the box
Used this for a wedding ceremony within a couple of days of receiving it. Small space with the pa speakers pointed at glass walls, sound and quality was great with no feedback

Great for church.
I bought this for our church and it works flawlessly. We have a small sanctuary and I turn off the monitor speakers when in use or we get a little feedback. I imagine we could adjust the gain to fix this but we tend to only use the monitors for singers. We use this for the pastors message. Will probably buy the handheld as well soon.

Question & Answer
Question :
Can this mic be used for singing?
Answer :
Yes, I pastor a church with a very large worship center and use this both for speaking and singing. Our sound techs say that it is as good as or better than the shure handhelds I have used in the past.
Question :
power supply 12v dc and batteries charger go vis this item?
Answer :
I use cheep energizer rechargeable battery's. I will get 10 hours our of them and have been using them for 2 years. I have 2 sets for each wireless and change them out during a show frequently. I have never had a battery die during a show. I have some stolen and I just go to the local store or order some from Amazon and im good to go. The charger I use They don't sale any more but it is very close too this one. Good luck.
Question :
Can these be mounted side by side?
Answer :
Yes, with the mounting kit you can attach two on a metal plate for side by side configuration.
Question :
Does this receive let the user use both transmitters at the same time?
Answer :
Hi Patrick - while you have your choice of transmitter types (handheld or bodypack), only one can be used at a time with the receiver. If two transmitters operate on the same frequency, they will interfere with each other; you can always have multiple receivers receiving the same signal, though. We use the analogy of a car stereo receiving a radio signal - unlimited cars (the receiver) can get the radio station (transmitter), but when you get to a point where two radio stations are on the same frequency, you have horrible reception.
