The EW 100 G4 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Combo Microphone System Kit from B&H is an extensive wireless mic system designed to deliver a compact, flexible, and reliable audio solution for a wide variety of applications including 2-person sit-down interviews, man-on-the-street interviews, documentaries, lectures, and more.
The kit offers two ME2-II omnidirectional lavalier mics with bodypack transmitters, a Senal omnidirectional handheld interview microphone with plug-on transmitter, two lightweight camera-mount receivers, a Vello mounting bracket, and a Kopul CMCS-1 microphone combiner. A waterproof SKB case is also included for transporting and storing the system.
Both receivers and the mic combiner can be mounted onto a single camera using the triple-shoe bracket. The two receivers plug into the combiner, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm audio input of your camera. This allows you to record both mics using the single input of your DSLR, keeping your rig portable and compact. Alternatively, you can attach each system to its own camera during multi-cam shoots
The Senal ENG-18RL is a broadcast-quality omnidirectional dynamic microphone. The dynamic capsule picks up sound in a 360° pattern and does not require a battery or phantom power, making it a reliable choice for critical field applications. The microphone's exceptionally low handling noise and resistance to wind noise and vocal plosives make it perfect for professional ENG applications like live reporting, interviews, and press conferences.
At multiple areas inside the microphone, natural rubber with special shock-absorbing properties is bonded to carbon steel rings to isolate the sealed inner shell from the outer shell. This system protects the microphone capsule from impacts and inclement weather, and dissipates kinetic energy, dramatically reducing handling noise and resonance due to rustling and knocking.
The microphone also incorporates multistage wind protection to minimize wind noise and vocal plosives. A mesh grille, acoustic foam, acoustic fabric, and another layer of acoustic foam work to diffuse excess sound pressure from wind and breath. A fixed rigid carbon-steel ring with a unique bullet-shaped design disperses breath to minimize vocal plosives.
The EQ curve is tailored for broadcast use, with a gradual low-frequency roll-off to keep out unwanted rumble, a pronounced midrange to ensure speech intelligibility, and a high-frequency roll-off to eliminate hiss and sibilance distortion. Whether broadcasting on television, AM/FM radio, or over the internet, the ENG-18RL is designed to ensure that dialogue cuts through the mix, and can be broadcast live without EQ adjustment.
The ENG-18RL features a durable aluminum-alloy shaft designed for EMI rejection and reduced internal resonance, with a matte black finish for a professional appearance and minimum light reflection. The mic is also long enough to accommodate a mic flag.
The Auray Universal Plug-On Transmitter Holster is a durable leather case that will fit most wireless plug-on transmitters. It builds upon its predecessor, the UPOH-A, by increasing the area of the side window. This change accommodates more brands and models.
The side window makes it easy for you to view and access your transmitter's controls. Also, you'll notice that the connector cutout has been made wider to facilitate cable interaction and connectivity with a greater range of transmitters.
The Auray Plug-On Transmitter Holster is built with a heavy-duty belt clip. The transmitter is secured in the holster by a touch-fastener closure that keeps your device protected while conveniently at your side.

The Vello V-Rig 4.1" Triple Shoe Bracket mounts onto a camera's accessory shoe in order to provide three additional accessory shoes for mounting lights, monitors, microphones, or other accessories. In addition to the shoe mount, a 1/4"-20 thread is also available for attaching the bracket to a tripod, rig, or other bracket featuring a 1/4"-20-threaded mount.
The bracket is constructed from rigid, yet lightweight single-piece aluminum alloy, and the mounting shoes are machined out of the same piece as the bracket, for additional strength. The accessory shoes also feature backstops for greater security when attaching accessories. The bottom shoe that attaches to the camera features a locking pin, which keeps the shoe in place and prevents the shoe from rotating during use.
Offering superior sound quality compared to conventional adapter cables, the Kopul CMCS-1 lets you easily capture sound from two 3.5mm microphones into your DSLR camera or camcorder in discreet mono or combined stereo while bypassing the hassle of a dangling adapter cable.
This simple and lightweight solution utilizes a shoe mount for effortless attachment to your shooting rig, and it features dual mono inputs for external microphones and a 3.5mm stereo output, making connectivity uncomplicated. The onboard switch allows the CMCS-1 to transmit a mixed stereo signal or two individual mono signals to any DSLR camera or camcorder with a 3.5mm input.
The compact and featherlight CMCS-1 is ideal for recording dialogue, narration over ambient sound, or stereo soundscapes and is so straightforward to operate, it will improve your audio without any interruptions for your workflow. Since the CMCS-1 is passive, it requires no batteries or special source of power.
