normally I try not to help people spend their money BUT in this case I'll make an exception.
I have been using the AT1823 system (dual receiver) for the last 3 or 4 months and have been very happy with it. I did up the mics to Countrtyman but I like the features of the AT system and frankly liked the price so I vote for you to spend your money on the AT system. :-) Don |

I'm not familiar with the AT, but I have several of the Sony units- used with handheld mics and lavaliers, and have been very pleased with their performance, flexibility, and durability.
I'm sure you can't go wrong either way. |

I had a look at the Sony system, as for a short period (in the UK at least) it seemed one could purchase it and get an ECM-88 thrown in for free. It turned out that the ECM-88 couldn't fit a hi-rose connector to get phantom powering from the unit, or some variation of that excuse. I managed to get a couple of Sennheiser G2 systems plus the brick thing for the (undiscounted) price of the Sony system. They've proved robust performers. The brick thing has been especially useful for pulling a feed from a PA or sound desk, sticking into an AKG-230 and even making my COS-11 wireless. The Sennheiser mic quality has been fine, though I'd still go with a COS-11 where possible. The other advantage is that the Senns came set for all the European frequencies (with a nice chart to explain what could be used where). US models may cause problems used in Europe (and vice versa).

Matt,
Can you elaborate a bit on the US/UK frequency differences? I've got a Senn G2 system Channel C, and I might be shooting in Ireland next year. |

We have 7 sets of the Senn G2 100 series and they have always worked perfectly. We have the kits with a bodypack transmitter, receiver, and plug for a mult box. As pointed out, you can also use the mult box transmitter for any xlr mic, which really helps.

Info can be found here: http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...requency-check It's a bit dense, though. I can just about work out that I can't use my G2s in the US. One thing seems clear, though: the cheaper models don't work on as many frequencies, so it would be harder to find an available and safe channel, especially when abroad. |
