Finally able to get going on replacing my permanent install 600s mhz wireless mics in the Buffalo NY market. Currently have 20 AKG, and are replacing 5 of those. Of the remaining:10 are in the 500-530 band, and 5 are from 570-600. AKG Powered antennas and distro in place for all UHF frequencies. We would like space to expand, possibly IEM or other.
Based on software based runs, it looks like my best option might be to go with 5 Sennheiser units, probably A1 band, but might vary.
Questions I have are about which to purchase; ew100, 300, or 500 G3? Looks like I might be able to fund the 500, but There is conflicting information/opinion as to the need for them. Do they allow more units per band? Is there any other difference to consider if they don't move much?
Will my AKG distro, which provides power to the receivers via coax, also power other brands via coax (sennheiser)? It is all 12v as far as I can tell.
I should add that the $200 rebate on the ew500 makes it enticing, as I will be installing these and 2 other rooms myself.
Are there any other brands I should be looking at right now?
Thanks for any info.
