Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In all honesty, I've used this combo system before, and I knew before I bought another that it was passable at best. But it had been a long time, and I didn't really remember how middling the quality really was.
We're shooting long runs of footage - presentations, group talks, Q&As and the like. The sound quality is really pretty mixed. What's funny is that something that people claim to have seen - RF dropouts - isn't happening to us although there's a huge amount of RFI where we are, including a HV overhead wire electric tram running past the receiver unit on a semi-regular basis.
My big problem is that the exclusion for the lavalier is actually TOO much. I mean, I like good exclusion from a lavalier as much as the next guy, but the mic position was really the difference between getting something and getting nothing. We're talking 1-2cm difference in placement here. The gain/attenuation switch on the belt pack seemed to totally wreck the signal and was not worth using at all: either you set it to 0 and it was just sketchy, you set it to -10dB and got absolutely nothing, or you set it to "mic" and got a massively overdriven signal.
All in all, would I use a Shure system again? Well obviously this is again, so yes, probably. Would I buy this one again? No, I'd probably shop around a bit more. It's not a bad deal. It's just not a good deal.
