    I am a sound man. Appreciate your video, well done. However, I have long experience on the Sennheiser G2. Only complaint IS the input 1/8 inch input jack. It wears out easily. The basic construction of that type jack only has one spring contact point on each of the two circuits on the end of the plug peice, and when the temper of those contacts is lost, you will progressively try to make contact by tightening down on that retainer, but eventually the jack will have to be replaced. On the other hand, the miniature 3-pin plug and jack on the Shure’s socket pins are designed like aviation connectors (multiple contacts wiping the plug contact surface). And that plug is replaceable. Switchcraft makes it. I have an outdoor mic job the G2 is need for, so tomorrow I will be opening the case and replacing that jack.
