I don’t much care about noise floor, as long as it’s reasonable, but I do care about sound. It’d be good to get a side by side with Sennheiser evolutions, maybe Sony b3, and something higher end with cos11s or something decent. Without YouTube crapping over the audio. I’m struggling slightly with every audio test of the deitys I’ve found. From a drama perspective. Be good to take average mic and YouTube compression out of the equation. In context, I Run an f8 with either g2s, or micron 700/explorers. The microns don’t want to be touching the f8. Oddly I find g2 300series to 500 series g1s range better than the 100g4. Sony D11 range far better than either, and the microns are pretty bullet proof. Nb the Sony /g4s aren’t mine.

Late to this Party but on the extreme budget drama side I've picked up second hand 700 series and explorer units for less than channel70 G2s. Frequencies are the biggest problem, but you can squeeze 4 out of CH70 and the 700s (the ones I picked up) have legal licensed frequencies on CH69. They are pretty much the same size as sennheiser evolutions - tiny bit thinner and any and all adjustments are performed with a small screwdriver. I actually prefer this - should you need to make a level adjustment you can leave the pack in the belt to do it - that said there's a Decent auto level, analogue limiters, highpass filter on the 700 series, more robust connections to microphone, sma antennas, and the range is great - as in not missing a step where 100 series g3s are cutting out all over the place. Got 3 with diversity receivers and one without but doesn't actually make a difference in the use they get with me. Unplug the TXs while production is faffing around and Li ion rechargables can last all day. Negative is 6 Pin Lemos are expensive and fiddly to wire - but they don't break - but If you can't solder, this isn't the system for you as buying ready made leads would be pretty expensive. Sets are re-tunable and customer service (yes I had a bunch of daft questions) great. And fairly local too. Edit: Should say they now have digital displays and smaller txs and other things but I don't do new stuff.. Edit2: That said - all ready made non 3.5mm leads are expensive.
