Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

In short it is disappointing.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

Tried to feed speakers audio directly to camera. Got interference on either channel. The pick up to listen in was too short and constraining.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

Too many RF hits, completely unreliable. Can't use it.

We were hoping to better our content for a project ([*] that relies heavily on video by adding lapel mics to our standard and shotgun mics and didn't want to drop $400+. After doing some research we decided to buy these Sony lapel mics but unfortunately they haven't met our needs. Their range (transmitter to receiver) is very short (~20'), much less than the claimed 150'. Also, even in such short distances the audio quality isn't clear. The units operate much better when directly pointed at each other (e.g. the transmitter is not inside but outside a pocket, etc.).We plan to return these to B&H.

I purchased this product in hopes of using it for a wedding and also for interviews. Have found that the range is at best 10'-15' before I have lots of hiss and signal loss.

For the price, this is an excellent lavalier mic. Be warned though that this is by no means a professional-quality mic. The construction is pretty solid and the cables seem strong. I've had no issues other than some minor static at long distances of 20ft or more, or when objects pass between the transmitter and receiver. I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive lavalier mic that will most likely work fine for you.

If you want to use this with a professional video camera that accepts XLR input, simply buy a $4 XLR plug and solder the center wire to pin 2 and the shield (outer wire) to pins 1 and 3. I did this with my Canon XL2 and it works excellent! I was very suprised it worked at all, and not only that, but it sounds perfect!

this is an excellent product for very good audio fidelity in your fimls

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

Great product. Works good and reliable, though you need to buy a mono to stereo adapter. Which is very small.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

I bought it to use as an inexpensive wireless system for interviews. It's totally unreliable it loses signal all the time, even at close range.

I thougt Sony would make at least a decent product but this is THE worst system I've ever used.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

I bought this microphone to use when teaching line dances. I like that it is practically invisible and not cumbersome. I use it with the room speakers and the class can hear my instructions very clearly.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

I am an experienced wedding videographer and purchased this product with high hopes. It's claim of "150 foot range" must be confused for inches, because standing roughly 10 feet from the couple during a ceremony with no movement produced nearly unusable audio. We were so dissatisfied with the product and would recommend anyone using this for anything other than interviews (at most) to run!!

Oh, and also, I didn't notice prior to purchasing, but there is no shoe mount for a camera. Not sure how it is intended to attach, but I had to use double sided velcro.

I've worked in TV for the last 3yrs. Have had my hands on many other lav's for much more money, senheiser's, sony's, Beyer/Dynamic's, etc. This is a much simpler model than those but for an entry leveler that may want a lav for weddings, documentary, or VO among others this will definitely get the job done without breaking the bank. Plus its 900 mhz so it will pass the new FCC regs. Hope you find this helpful on finding the right mic for the job.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

I bought two of these about a year ago and I've used them five times and now they just sit in a box gathering dust. If there was a worst product of the year award these units would take 1st prize.

Reception is terrible, these units quite literally only work 2 meters apart with line of sight, anything more and they break up. The built quality is cheap and the mic is not very sensitive. Rather give your money to charity before you buy these.

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

For classroom use
Portable and inconspicuous on wearer
Very easy to set up and use

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

Pulled it out of the box and tried it. SO disappointed with Sony on this one. [*]The only way this thing will sound clear is if they're less than 3 feet apart, not the 150 feet the product says. All you hear is static if you move more than 3 feet, its ridiculous. [...]

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

The quality of this sony product is the worst i ever got!!!The range is ridiculous, the quality of sound is very low.The only positive thing about this product is that i only lost [$]

Comments about Sony WCS-999 Wireless System:

This kind of wireless works great only in a short distance, is good for interviews and events of this nature.
