Excellent comparison! I've been trying all kinds of cheap wireless systems and they all suffer from the horrible noise floor... time to spend the big bucks.
Yeah, the reason being that the output of the Sennheiser is too hot for the GH5, even when the camera is set to it's lowest (-12) gain setting. The sound will then clip quite easily in camera, unless your talent is very soft spoken.
Same way as I would set levels on any other camera or recorder. A good rule of thumb is to set your levels so that you peak around -6 dBFS, while having the signal sit around -18 dBFS most of the time.

Hi Sebastian thanks a lot for the great review. Did you say that I better not use the Sennheiser with a GH5? That's what I have..

@@sebastian_trzaska I understand. thanks for pointing it out, i had not found this info elsewhere.
@@silviastorchi4013 Glad to help!
How does the xsw d system not having phantom power effect it ? It can plug right into a recorder right ?
Yes, it just means it doesn't receive power from the recorder.
@@sebastian_trzaska what audio system does get phantom power from the recorder?
@@JoshSmith-ct3fi The Sennheiser AVX receiver can be powered by 48V phantom power from the recorder.
@@sebastian_trzaska so how does the xsw d system get power ?
@@JoshSmith-ct3fiit has an internal battery.
How would u set your db in the c70 using the xsw d system ?
