Built for Reliable Performance in the Field

The EW 512P G4 features rugged, all-metal chassis well suited for extended use on location.
The lightweight, compact bodypack transmitter is moisture-resistant, easy to conceal, and offers rounded edges that are soft to the touch and comfortable for the talent to wear. A locking connector ensures that your lav doesn’t detach at a critical moment, while a convenient switch allows you to mute your mic.
Using the included shoemount adapter, the equally compact receiver easily mounts on your camera without adding much weight. The included CL 500 cable provides a balanced connection from the receiver to the XLR audio input of your camcorder, cinema camera, or recording device. The CL 1 cable is for DSLR/mirrorless cameras and devices with 3.5mm inputs. A headphone output lets you monitor the quality of your sound while recording.
Both transmitter and receiver feature daylight-readable LED displays showing reception quality, battery status, and audio level.

Advanced Controls for Flexible Use

The frequency scan function automatically searches for the cleanest frequency at your location.
To get you going quickly, the transmitter and receiver synchronize via infrared interface with the simple push of a button.
10/30/50 mW switchable RF output helps overcome interference or save battery life.
The adjustable input sensitivity on the transmitter accommodates mic levels ranging from booming voices to quiet speech, and even line-level audio.
The receiver has an adjustable output range of 42 dB to match the audio input of your camera or recording device.

Proven Broadcast-Quality Sound

Popular with industry professionals, the MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone delivers a natural, broadcast-quality sound optimized for speech intelligibility. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that the sound remains consistent, even when the speaker’s head moves away from the mic.
To take full advantage of the MKE 2’s dynamic range, the system employs proprietary HDX compander technology, preserving your sound without adding unwanted noise during transmission—delivering audio with remarkable accuracy and quality.
