<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">These transmitters use balanced wires to connect to the PA. The Senheiser uses a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) type connector. And, the receiver needs power. It’s the power wire that
wears out. The Sennheiser came with wall-wart transformer and a connector that slides in a slot. The original had the ancillary threaded part, which has been replaced with a less expensive, generic wall-wart that just pushes into the slot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I’ve had a number of wireless mics. Many of them come with a simple connector plug, with and additional feature that holds the plug on by screwing the wire to the receiver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">When they break—and they do break in a life of plug in, unplug, transport to next gig—I replace them with cheap ones from our local electronics shop (Al Lasher’s on University
Ave., in Berkeley CA). You don’t need the screw on tight feature, just one with the same size connector. And I’ve used these at camps, gigs, everywhere, no problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding the Sennheiser:<br>
<br>
Headpiece: ME3-ew<br>
Belt pack and receiver: ew 100 G3<br>
<br>
I like the headpiece because it stays in place, the sound quality of the system is excellent and I have never had a problem with it in 8 -10 years.<br>
<br>
Also, I recently purchased a "Compact Powered PA System" by the name of SRM 150. It weighs maybe 10 pounds, I can lift it with one finger, and the one speaker sounds great and fills a big room.<br>
