Can you add additional wireless transmitter mics ...
Can you add additional wireless transmitter mics to the camera mounted receiver ? If so what models are compatible ?
Each wireless transmitter needs it's own corresponding receiver, so in order to add an additional mic using the Sennhieser G4 series, you would need an entire additional system.

What's the latency?
What's the latency?
Hi Gerald - EW G4 is an analog RF system and essentially has zero latency as the transmission travels at the speed of light. Without digital components, your wireless is essentially latency free, but be mindful of other components in your set up that may add latency due to their digital architecture.

What is the difference from the EW 512P to the EW ...
What is the difference from the EW 512P to the EW 100? - In other words, why is there such a price difference?
The ew 512P system has a wide 88 MHz bandwidth with 3520 frequencies and an adjustable RF output level of 10, 30 or 50 mW. Depending on your location, you can operate up to 32 wireless systems simultaneously. The ew 100 has a 42 MHz bandwidth with 1680 frequencies and a fixed RF output level of 30 mW. You can use up to 12 ew 100 systems at the same time depending on the environment. The ew 512P includes the MKE 2 lavalier which is a more professional mic than the ME 2-II (or ME 4) which is included with the ew 100 system. Additionally, the ew 512P has a headphone jack on the receiver but the ew 100 does not have a headphone jack. The ew 100 system also includes a plug-on transmitter (SKP 100) for use with dynamic mics and mics that do not require phantom power. If you do want to add on a similar plug-on transmitter for the ew 512 or use the ew 500 system, the SKP 500 does supply +48V phantom power.

question
What are the biggest differences between this and the AVX system with the MKE2?
The range is much greater on the G4 set, which is why I'm considering buying. I've run into several instances with dropouts on the AVX even when I'm only 30ft away. There is also a noticeable delay with the AVX system which has to be fixed in post if you are using a wired mic as a second source. I owned a G3 system before I bought the AVX and prefer the sound of the G3, but not by much.

The system comes with a 'Fur Windscreen'. Is that the foam type that cannot be removed or is it an separate fur/fuzzy windscreen that can be attached? Finally, is an aftermarket fur windscreen needed for outdoor usage? If so, what would be a recommendation? Thank you!
Hi,
The fur windscreen included is removable and it is sufficient for outdoor use. I hope this is helpful, thank you for shopping at B&H!

Purchasing two sets of this, would it be smart to buy one of each frequency range? Will both be good in NYC?
You can definitely use two of the Sennheiser EW 512P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone Systems that operate on the same frequency band in New York City. The system has 3,520 auto-scan frequencies for the system to select from to transmit audio and up to 32 systems can be used simultaneously on the same band.
