Sennheiser AVX Wireless System: Should we upgrade?

2015-09-20
hey what's going on guys a Marlins hanging from TechnoBuffalo and if you remember a couple of months back we upgraded her entire camera system to Sony now we were originally using Canon c100 which is still a great setup but it was time for us to upgrade to 4k so we bought the sony fs7 and the sony a7s with the add sumo Shogun for 4k external recording while video quality is very important to us audio quality is also key for making good videos we've been looking and looking for the best microphone solution and today we'll be taking a look at Sennheiser's new AVX wireless system which includes a handheld microphone a receiver a body pack transmitter and a lavalier microphone now what's awesome about the AV AK system is that it fully self configures within seconds the receiver is this tiny rotatable XLR connector which sits in very tightly on RFS 7 and it can either use its built-in lithium rechargeable battery which Sennheiser says less good five hours or use phantom power through the XLR input from your camera the body pack transmitter lasts at least 10 hours according to sennheiser and you can of course charge both the transmitter and receiver via microUSB now what's even more awesome about the AV X system is that you can also use juice packs to charge the transmitter handheld mic and receiver which is pretty nifty if you're out on the field filming for the whole day the AV X system also features an aes 256-bit encryption which is great if you're worried about people trying to listen in on your conversation while you're recording your video or audio what we wanted to do for this video is to give you guys an overview of the new mics and also let you hear the quality and how the new AV x wireless system performs compared to our current setup we're currently using an audio technica lavalier mic that connects via XLR and having to double up on cables and connectors when I mic up is a huge hassle so having a wireless mic pack as small as this may be the solution for that specific problem so let's go ahead and test out the new wireless lav pack and see how it performs in our studio and compare it to our old audio technical lab alright guys so we are testing out the audio technica pro 70 which is our current setup as you can see from this dangling XLR cable and I'm just gonna read a few lines from the website and hopefully you guys can take a listen and tell us in the comments down below which one you think is better Apple's iOS 9 operating system with rolled out to the public on Wednesday technically has the capability to enable Wi-Fi calling for AT&T customers with iPhones all right guys so we are testing out mic number two which is the new a VX wireless lav system now what's awesome about this since it's all Wireless I can stand here and still talk to you guys or I can be here talking you guys I can be here as well talking to you or I can move here anyways I'm gonna read the same article from the website and let me know in the comments down below if you guys hear a difference Apple's iOS 9 operating system which rolled out to the public on Wednesday technically has the capabilities to enable Wi-Fi calling for AT&T customers using iPhones and that's about it this is the new Sennheiser AVX wireless system this particular setup we have retails for around $1,200 through B and H but prices will vary depending on where you shop and when you're watching this video anyways let us know in the comments down below what you think of the new AV x mics I personally think the new AV x system sounds fuller than our previous setup or old audio technica lav sounded tinny and we had to push our on camera levels very high which introduces more white noise the AV X system sounds cleaner and it's wireless so it's more convenient and easier to use anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
