Sennheiser AVX - Best Wireless Microphone System?

[@ShervinShares]

im curious to hear your thoughts on the new Theos Digital Wireless by Deity

[@Josh_Sattin]

I'd love to try out that system. It looks super nice.

[@markkut]

So solid and straight to the point. Just picked the avx up earlier today.

[@BarefootMediaTV]

why do i keep finding your videos? i search cine ei and you pop up first. then i search new xlr wireless lavs and you pop up first 😆 Great content though, keep it up!

[@EastxWestFarms]

Josh, that’s the mike we use at our farm. It’s a rock solid system with great sound quality. We are big fans of sustainability and we were able to find one set on the used market.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Nice! I love mine too!

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thanks, Josh. Very good information and well presented. The AVX looks very interesting.

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelWarthStudios]

I wish I would’ve purchased mine sooner - a great mic to have in the kit.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Yeah. I feel the same way once I bought mine. Love it!

Great video! Thanks for your review Josh! Subscribed

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!

I've been using this system for over a year without any issues. Even in chaotic situations, I've recorded interviews at events with thousands of people and thousands of cell phones, Wi-Fi, and stuff like that, without any problems. However, some time ago, I found myself in a room with only five people and experienced interference issues. There was nothing I could do except use the external backup recorder to capture the audio. The AVX system is highly reliable, partly because it operates on a frequency band of 1880-1930 MHz, as opposed to the traditional Wi-Fi's 2400 MHz. Nevertheless, if, like in my case, you encounter interference problems, there's nothing you can do. In general, to avoid problems, it might be better to use a traditional UHF system so that, in case of issues, you can change the frequency.

[@lukecatena7567]

Hey Josh, are you still using this setup? How do you find the reliability outdoors, do you get any dropouts at all?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Yes, I am still using this. It works great. I haven't used it in environments with a lot of other wireless transmissions, but in my experience it has been great.

[@lukecatena7567]

@@Josh_Sattin Thanks! would you be able to link one of your youtube videos when you are filming talking outdoors using it? Just so I can hear the sound quality

[@Josh_Sattin]

I filmed pretty much my entire farming course with this mic. The first video was shot inside but I believe everything else I used this mic outside. kzbin.info/aero/PLLhRvDbqclpaKG2pYidQ3P2U0sPcY-5I2&si=uhNQdqzUAfrcaysC

@@Josh_Sattin Thanks so much! ended up learning a lot about farming haha

[@mathiasontheweb]

Best system ever. Reliable and so easy to use.

[@michaeldstern]

Mines lasted 6 years and never failed. Except that time the battery died and I didn’t realize

[@dannyhikes88]

Great review man! Thank you!

[@olgadekell]

How do you find the auto level feature, do you find it cuts the workload down a lot it post? 🎤

[@Josh_Sattin]

I've never actually used it. I adjust the levels on the camera and keep an eye on it. Lately I have been using it with the Canon C70 and it has a built in limiter too.

[@scotey]

@@Josh_Sattin How do you secure the receiver with the C70's mini-XLR inputs?

[@robinprobyn1971]

@@Josh_Sattin Isnt it built in , you don't turn it off or on, they just say not to use Auto on the camera as the unit will do it ?

[@oupekha]

Thanks for the high quality sound and excellent lighting video and good information. I have a question do you need to sync or scan for the new frequency when you go to the different location?

[@Josh_Sattin]

I've never had any issues. I turn it on and it just works.

[@AlexKim-po5lx]

Hi Josh Satine. Please tell me, is video shooting at weddings and events filmed on a mono microphone or stereo?

[@lumbraproductions]

Thank you!

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@erikpreston2393]

Josh do you notice a palpable noise floor?

[@mitchhodge1]

Very informative video, thank you. Quick question - how many mic/transmitter units can you connect to the transmitter at once?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You're welcome. This is a one TX and one RX system.

[@gabakusa]

Runtime?

[@travisgrenke]

Can the receiver pick up multiple transmitters ? Or would i need 2 sets for 2 lav mics interview?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Unfortunately not. They are 1 transmitter per 1 receiver.

[@travisgrenke]

@@Josh_Sattin thank you for the follow up reply

[@gabakusa]

can you charge it at the same time you are using it?

[@tvpierce1]

Yes

[@unisachen6451]

How do you charge it?

[@tvpierce1]

Both the transmitter and receiver are charged via micro USB connector. So when they're in use you can charge them using any device that will power over USB. The transmitter battery is good for 15 hours, so that's not likely to need to be charged while in use. The receiver is good for 4 hours. So that's where you might run into the need to charge while in use.

[@stefonbenson8276]

hello I have the same setup with the xlr-k3m sony adapter. whats the best settings you think for the boom & the mke2 to work? you mention you would use the boom for the ambience but will use the mic to have the voice clearer. thank you for your help

[@stefonbenson8276]

my camera is a a7s3

[@stefonbenson8276]

& thank you again for your time Josh

[@Josh_Sattin]

It depends on the situation. Let's take an interview for example. I prefer the audio out of a good boom mic over a lav. If you can boom the mic over the subject I would use that as my main source and put a lav on the subject as a back up.

[@stefonbenson8276]

@@Josh_Sattin appreciate that tip! As i do agree about the boom. But the actual settings to the xlr settings would be in1-in2 for both channels or just the In1 for both channels one & channel 2?

[@Josh_Sattin]

Oh. Separate 1 and 2 so you can adjust it in post.

[@akproductions8059]

Can it be connected to a zoom recorder without any problem?

[@Josh_Sattin]

You can use this in just about any audio interface that has XLR inputs.

[@danielirvine7468]

If only these ran two mics like the rode wireless go systems or DJI I hate the rode go as I have had to many issues with them but I love the idea of one receiver and two transmitters Can do a walk and talk on the gimbal with two talent if only these had a dual set up

[@scootdaddy9]

Nobody ever talks about range. I shoot with an FX3 as well and this looks nice but range has to be good

[@pagpapaitim]

19ms latency = more editing to sync.

[@arnaudd5788]

Thanks for this video Josh! Is there any echo while using the boom mic at the same time of the AVX due to these 19ms latency ? If so, is it laborious to sync in post ?

[@RossHarrisonFilm]

@@arnaudd5788 There is echo. After using these for a while I am dissatisfied, mostly due to the auto gain control which creates distortion on voice volume variation. I haven't seen this mentioned enough.
