Sennheiser SKM Avx - 835

A System Designed for Video Sound Capture: The DNA of the AVX Range

The SKM AVX-835 fits within the AVX series' "ready to shoot" approach: a solution engineered to simplify the microphone-to-camera link as much as possible. The goal is clear: to eliminate the usually time-consuming steps of wireless systems (channel selection, level settings, multiple checks) in favor of automated, fast, and reliable operation. With its plug-on XLR receiver, the set naturally fits into reporting, interview, or lightweight recording setups where efficiency and compactness are paramount.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This system is ideal if you need a simple-to-deploy wireless handheld microphone, especially for interviews, mobile journalism, event speeches, or shoots where you need to quickly switch between speakers. The supplied MMD 835 microphone capsule is designed to deliver clear and usable sound in the field, while the "plug-on XLR" receiver format facilitates integration with a camera or an existing audio-video chain.

Automation, Compactness, and Security: Key Daily Strengths

Fast Startup and Automatic Frequency Management

The system emphasizes very fast configuration and automatic frequency management. Practically, this reduces pre-shoot handling and increases peace of mind when the radio environment changes (trade shows, public places, improvised sets). You focus on framing and content, not on RF coordination.

Plug-on XLR Receiver: Clean Camera Integration

The ultra-compact receiver is designed to plug directly into the XLR audio input. This approach minimizes clutter, avoids unnecessary cables, and contributes to a cleaner setup, especially useful on lightweight rigs, shoulder cameras, or run-and-gun configurations. An accessory shoe adapter is included to facilitate mounting according to your setup.

Power Management and Ease of Use

The receiver can power on and off via P48 phantom power, a real advantage for camera use: it reduces forgetfulness and streamlines preparation. The AVX also features an optimized dynamic range and adapts to the camera's input sensitivity to limit level adjustments when the action starts.

AES 256 Encryption and Metal Construction

For sensitive content, AES 256 encryption provides a valuable security layer. The system also relies on a robust metal housing, designed for field use and repeated handling (passing from hand to hand, transport, outdoor shoots). The product is indicated as made in Germany.
