FAQs

Does this system require a license to operate?

No, the Sennheiser AVX operates in the 1.9 GHz range, which is license-free in most countries.

Can I use multiple AVX systems at once?

Yes, the digital technology allows for multiple AVX systems to operate in the same area without frequency conflict.

Is the MKE 2 microphone replaceable?

Yes, the MKE 2 uses a standard locking connector, allowing you to replace the mic cable or capsule if damaged.

How do I charge the batteries?

The included batteries can be charged via the USB port directly on the transmitter or receiver.

Does the receiver work with DSLR cameras?

It is designed for XLR inputs. If your camera only has a 3.5mm jack, you will need a balanced XLR to 3.5mm adapter cable.

Troubleshooting

Receiver not syncing with transmitter

Ensure both devices are fully charged and hold the 'Pair' button on both units simultaneously until the LEDs blink rapidly.

Audio signal is clipping or distorted

Adjust the sensitivity settings on the bodypack transmitter to ensure the input level is not set too high for the speaker's volume.

System powers off mid-shoot

The AVX has a 4-hour battery limit; monitor the status LED on the transmitter and always carry a backup charged battery pack.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast and automated setup process
  • Industry-leading audio quality with the MKE 2 capsule
  • Compact receiver design fits directly into camera XLR ports
  • Rugged build quality suitable for professional field work

Cons

  • Limited 4-hour battery life per charge
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level systems
  • Requires spare batteries for long production days

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, insert the battery into the bodypack transmitter and the receiver. Once powered on, the units automatically sync, indicated by the status lights. The receiver connects directly to the XLR input of your camera or audio recorder; ensure your camera provides 48V phantom power if the receiver mode requires it. For care, always store the microphone in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the delicate lavalier cable. Wipe down the metal chassis with a dry microfiber cloth and ensure the battery contacts are clean and free of debris. If you are operating in humid environments, consider using desiccant packs in your equipment bag to protect the internal digital components.
