The Best mics!

By Alan
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-29

I've been relying on Sennheiser AVX mics for years. They are an extremely reliable and the battery lasts for at least 12 hours. The range is around 100ft. Although relatively expensive for each unit, they are totally worth it! I've just added another hand mic to my kit and totally satisfied.

Easy setup, range good, sounds ok

Not the best for music use, but I do love the format with the XLR plug in receiver. I wish the receiver used phantom power as the receiver battery is the shortest of the set. I'm glad they offer this mic with a switch, for PA use, but the switch should be bigger like their dynamic hand held mics.

See any errors on this page?

question

How long do the batteries last on this and is it advisable to get another for a day long shoot?
Asked by: DNN
The Sennheiser BA 10 Rechargeable Battery Pack, (BH # SEBA10) has an operating time of 15 hours. It is always a good to have an additional battery, or a set of AA batteries on-hand, as a back up.

How do I sync the AVX Digital Handheld Microphone Transmitter with a separately purchased AVX receiver? I have turned both on, hit sync and nothing happens.

To establish a new radio link between a receiver and a transmitter, proceed asfollows:Switch on the receiver and the transmitter that you want to pair.The status LED on both the receiver and the transmitter indicates the currentdevice status.Long-press, one after the other, the Pair buttons of the receiver and the transmitter to be paired until their status LEDs flash alternately green and red. You have 120 seconds between pressing the first button and the second button.Press pair on receiver appears on the transmitter display panel.Existing radio links to other devices are now disconnected.Wait for approx. 10 seconds until the radio link is established.- Once the radio link is successfully established, Paired appears on thetransmitter display panel and the status LED on both the transmitter andthe receiver lights up green.- If no radio link can be established, Pairing failed briefly appears on the transmitter display panel, followed by the message No Link. The statusLED of the transmitter and/or the receiver lights up red.
