DavidHart Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Anymore opinions/experiences of the Sennheiser G3 v Trantec S5 systems? I need to make a decision this week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjriley Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 For me the Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager software is such a major bonus with the G3 range, especially with the new frequency co-ordination in version 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.spoons Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I Like the Sennheiser (I have one and we have four at work) but I haven't used the Trantec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The beltpacks are nicely built and are pretty strong. I've had issues with ours where the down button gets stuck and has to go off for repair. It may be that cornish sand though... .....Josh Without wishing to hijack the thread, I have the facilities to repair/replace these buttons and have done a few of my G3 packs. It is ALWAYS the down button for some reason. Josh, let me know if you need any more doing and you can perhaps chuck them in your bag on a run from down south to Derby etc. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It is ALWAYS the down button for some reason. My experience has been the same, several broken / iffy down buttons and no problems with any of the others... It's worth mentioning that Sennheiser have an excellent spares site available, and it's laudable that they still have quite a lot of spares available for G1 systems which have been out of production for almost a decade now.

LadislavKiprich Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It is ALWAYS the down button for some reason. I've had issues also with up button, but down gets broken more often. Other thing to be aware is the minijack, after couple years of use it will wear out and you get occasional pops or noise. At my daily work we use Ansmann accu's, they are still fine up to 7 - 8 hours after 3 years. At side work I use Trantec, and I'm happy with them. Only issues are battery doors and clips. I can get through 3 rehearsals and shows with single AA, which is very nice. David, I tried to send you PM, have you received it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
