I have a sennheiser wireless headest with a belt-pack receiver.
Is it possible to buy a sennheiser wireless handheld mic that can be configured to work with this belt-pack receiver?? Anyone?

The FCC has recently re-allocated the freqs. to allow for more cellphone bands. Older wireless are now actually illegal. If you are using it in a rural area, they probably won't bother you. But in the cities they could find you.
Being a Sennheiser, they MAY be able to match your receiver to a new mic. but naturally they will probably try to sell you a whole new package. Another expense. Argh!

Frank,
If you can find someone to order it for you, yes you can get a matching wireless handheld mic to work with the belt pack. Our Ring used to have a wireless lavalier system and we bought the matching handheld mic so we could use it either way. The price may be a little high for it so it might be close to the same price as buying a second system. I would recommend checking with Northern Sound & Lights to see if they can get you the mic. http://northernsound.net/ Sennheiser also sells a plug-on transmitter that will allow you to use any handheld mic with your receiver. Again, it's kind of costly compared to buying an entire system. The SKP100G3 runs about $300. Michael |

Yes it is possible however Sennheiser recently discontinued some older lines. I would check with http://www.trox.com go to the site and get the phone number and call them. They are really good as far as price, but the site has so much on it you can easily get lost there.
I would also check on ebay, a lot of people are upgrading and you may be able to find a good deal. Lastly, as mentioned above, I would recommend investigating your frequency range to see if you will be effected any time soon by the problems some are having. It may be cheaper to just upgrade to a full new system that you know will be safe in the future. Good Luck, Fitz

You can still get hand held mic's to match your unit. They came in 3 different Frequency bands A, B, C, Only the "C" group was done away with it was in the 700 MH range. Give the folks a Pro Sound & Stage Lighting a call I think they can still help you. or check out their web site pssl.com

Frank,
In order to look into it, you'll need to know the complete model number of your receiver, as listed on its rear. If it has a "G2" desigantion, be sure to note that as part of the model number. You'll also need its frequency range, also on teh receiver's rear. With htis info, you will be able to find a matching handheld. Cheers from Toronto!
