Sennheiser ew 500 G2 wireless microphone system

The Sennheiser ew 500 G2 is a professional-grade wireless microphone receiver, part of the Evolution G2 series. This specific model is renowned in the broadcast and live performance industries for its high RF stability and sound quality.

Historically, Sennheiser's professional audio products, including the G2 series, were primarily manufactured in their headquarters and production facilities in Germany. The brand itself was founded in 1945 by Fritz Sennheiser as 'Labor W' and has remained a cornerstone of German engineering in the audio sector.

As of the mid-2020s, the brand's ownership structure is split. The professional division, which produces this microphone system, remains an independent family-owned entity under Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG. Conversely, the consumer audio division (responsible for headphones and soundbars) was acquired by the Swiss medical hearing specialist Sonova in 2022. Because the ew 500 G2 is a professional-market tool, it falls under the original Sennheiser family's ownership.
