Been using the Sennheiser solution for years. I use the transmitter pack + 1 or 2 receiver pack set up. The 3 packs are small, identical in size and fit right atop inside speaker handle. Fresh batteries last up to 8 hours. Great video. Lastly, for plug and play I’ve also found success with the Xvive U3 wireless system. Line of sight up to 90 feet gives strong signal. Downside could be that it’s on the 2.4 ghz frequency as opposed to the Sennheiser which uses a more reliable RF frequency band.
Using the Senheiser gear, us it possible to link 3 speakers to the same transmitter? The Alto Stealth Pro is designed for this and you can purchase expansion packs. With the Senheiser, could you, for example, use one transmitter/body back and hook up 3 different receivers to three different speakers, all on the same frequency, and will they all receive the same signal independently or will they somehow cause interference between each other or will it "pair" to one of them only like Bluetooth?
Thanks for posting this video. Really helpful. I own the 1st gen Alto Stealth and used it twice in recently months. My issue is that I find random dropouts happening. I’ve tried raising the height of the transmitter, tried changing channels, tried raising the height of the transmitter. Still seem to get random dropouts. Not sure if you encountered this and if so, then how did you fix it?
The 1st gen is good at short distances and line of sight. I wouldn’t recommend for paid events where sound is going to be critiqued more by the client. If you’re going to go the Alto route, get the Stealth Pro. Of course, I recommend using a Sennheiser IEM system or G3, G4 as your wireless kit.
Perhaps you can clear this up. Why use the Sennheiser if you have the Alto Stealth Pro? The testing I've seen has been great and it would mean only one transmitter instead of many sitting at your booth so it would be easier to elevate the antenna as well. Is it that much worse that you don't trust it? DJ Rachel told me she uses the Sennheiser over her Pro as well but didn't give a good reason why?
It comes down to what you feel is the most reliable solution, which is the Sennheiser for me. I know that the Alto may be more convenient (especially if using the expansion pack) but the Alto has let me down and I just don’t have any issues with the Sennheiser setup. Of course, you always have secondary systems for almost everything you use. So, the Sennheiser is the first choice, but if I forgot to pack it or it has to be repaired you have the Alto or something similar that can get you through the event. Much in the same way I have multiple wireless microphones. There have been cases where I had to pull out my back up microphone and was glad I had it. But my number one is always going to be what gives me the best signal and the best range, no cutouts, and has proven to be most reliable. Some events I wouldn’t even reach for the alto unless I absolutely had to because I have decided to go with the one (Sennheiser) that always does the job in congested signal areas, rural areas, and even rooftop venues where my other wireless systems would not work.

How long does the G3 lavalier transmitter last for with batteries? Great utilization by the way!!!
The life will depend on the batteries you use, but generally you will be good for any 4-5 hour event.

@@oneforthebooksent thanks for the explanation. That’s the first time I’ve heard of the pro dropping out at a gig. Just not much info on those.
@@oneforthebooksent have you used Shure’s SLXD? Local dj’s swear by them but most doing remote speaker use the Sennheiser.
@@oneforthebooksent You've convinced me. I just purchased a pair of Sennheiser EW-D's. Appreciate your input.
