 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here want to do a video about a Category within the wireless the very large wireless audio systems market that I think is It seems like a relatively tight part of the market in the sense that There aren't a ton of options there and not a lot of discussion about it So I thought I chose some of the products that fulfill the space and this space is a plug-in XLR receiver So in other words If you have a camcorder and this is what I shoot with and I think for camcorder folk These are probably the the intended market and the NG people for this kind of system because typically Other things that are used commonly today as camera a video cameras namely DSLR and mirrorless don't typically have XLR imports inputs, so therefore the only way you can use an XLR receiver with them is to have a You know 3.5 to XLR adapter which do exist, but why would you want to go to the bother? therefore, you know stuff like the road wireless Go Pro I always get that name wrong or very popular or a lot more popular than these systems because they can be used With anything now the reason I want I was trying to explain on Reddit why I was specifically looking for this kind of a product Was because as a camcorder user It's not that you can terminate anything in 3.5 But the beauty to me of having an plug-in XLR receiver is actually all to do with ergonomics and the gain control The fact that on the my camcorder the XA40 all those gain controls, which is our hardware switches on the XLR panel so if you If you have something to plug straight into that you don't need any adapters You can just plug it into one of the XLR inputs and then you can play around with everything else by hand No, you don't need to touch the receiver at all So as I said the road the road wireless go to is a usually popular wireless system And if you have a you know DSLR mirrorless, that's great But so let me show you how I find the various options that I did find Firstly B&H have a terrific website for doing product research on and they have within the wireless systems category Which is a big category as you can see there is one thousand two hundred and sixty three Different systems listed so if you want to really drill down into and find this type of a system You can look for filter on receiver type and you can see you have plug-in The most popular which is probably the eighth or three point five mil the quarter inch the six point three five mil They even have Bluetooth and lightning port But you want to click on plug-in XLR plug-in XLR receivers And this is actually going to miss a few, but it'll just give you an idea for what's on the market So here's one type of XLR plug-in receiver That's that is quite popular and that is as you know stuff like the X-Vive audio use you see three and These this is designed the transmitter is also a plug-in and basically these are used with interview microphones So this has become very popular in ENG and use gathering that you'll see the talent is holding a wireless mic now I've noticed that stations use both Built-in microphones that you know, it's kind of out of the box set the transmitter is built in That's a bit more discreet because you can't see anything This is quite discreet, but then they put these and I think this is actually kind of a dumb thing for that reason They put these big flashy LED lights on so it's kind of a little bit harder to disguise it as part of the microphone This is available both and one of the benefits of this particular product the X-Vive audio you see you 3C The C stands for condenser microphones And that's because it provides phantom power 48 volts has got a switch not all and there's a few products copy-cat products or Products exactly like this. That's basically plug-in type XLR system There are many and most actually don't supply phantom power So this one has a model that does and that doesn't the X-Vive audio you see three does so the with C edition of phantom power You could for example use this with perhaps a shotgun microphone That needed phantom a run the receiver into your camcorder and that would give you a wireless Booming kit now There's a lot of people who don't like the idea of wireless booming But you could achieve it with something of this nature next product to show you guys is the Right, so here's another notable product in this small product category the Saramonic UW mic 9 a Saramonic like Boya and all these brands are the kind of go-to's for folks like me who aren't monetizing their video But we want some decent sound But we don't have the nine hundred dollars to spend on the super high-end wireless audio gear from the likes of Sennheiser so I don't own this just to be clear But I have watched reviews and people seem pretty happy with it And this is again one of those rare products in this category. This is a receiver and you can see it's got an XLR receiver now The common engineering on all of these Kits is that the XLR receiver is rotatable. So that's a really big advantage It means that you know, you can you can rotate it to wherever makes sense You can see the controls and that's out of frame for your particular camcorder And this particular one comes with a body pack type transmitter. It costs three hundred and twenty eight dollars from BNH Price may be slightly different elsewhere So that's pretty much all I could find here They sell larger two person kits for a bit more money as you'd expect But it didn't quite capture everything. So I've manually dragged up a couple more options. Here is the big Expensive option here, right? This is the Sennheiser Omni lab system 1.9 gigahertz You can see the transmitter is again a body pack They give you a lab and the receiver if I can if they have it in one of their product photos, I'm sure they do Yep, the receiver is going to be a Direct plug-in. So again, this is one of the few products on the market that are plug-in XLR receivers And that is but it is a seven hundred and fifty dollar Kit for these two, but you can see the average ratings are 4.5 out of 5 so when you spend that much money you buy your brand like Sennheiser I think you're very unlikely to be disappointed. So if this particular plug-in model appeals to you the one advantage of these interchangeable systems like the UW Mike 9 series from Saramonic is that you can use different parts together So if you come back to the The X-Vibes audio system right the interview setup so you plug this into your dynamic mic So in was in the UW Mike 9 system There is one of those that can do 48-fold and it's because it's in the Saramonic UW Mike 9 family It can be used with this receiver So that's one advantage of sticking with one of these wireless system families where the products can talk to one another There's one that what that I act this is one I purchase being you know, what can I say the The budget constraint or rather trying to spread my investment in video stuff wisely I found this through searching Ali express and I gave up on the idea of finding anything Even cheaper than the Saramonic and even that was That was difficult to source to where I live in Israel So I eventually find found this from the boy a store and it's basically looks to me like a copycat of the Saramonic or one I don't know who copied the other, but it's the same idea I think it's actually the same parent company It does have plug-in batteries I'm not sure if the Saramonic does but it's a hundred and fifty dollars and it's exactly the same You can see there's a body pack transmitter and there's that XLR that plugs straight into the Camcorder, I'm gonna actually just zoom up to this guy if I can I cannot and Again, it's rotatable XLR so you can swivel that round to wherever Suits you best on your camcorder. So those are the options I found to recap if you're looking if you if you like the kind of body pack and plug-in XLR receiver system There is at the cheap end of the market. There's the boy a BY W89 WM 8 Pro 7 48 UHF dual channel for ENG or film work. Then we have the Saramonic UW Mike 9. I think there's a newer product. Sorry the newer product is black Surrounded here. The older product is yellow. So just be careful that you're ordering the latest one if you can That's three hundred and twenty eight dollars from B&H photo video You have these dual interviews systems This is just one of many and then finally at the top end of the market here We have the Sennheiser AVX ME 2 Which is a lav going into a body pack and then a plug-in XLR receiver That product is priced at seven hundred and fifty dollars from B&H photo video. Hope this roundup of the options was useful Thanks for watching
