I regularly record programs at a local church. The Emcee uses a
wireless
microphone. Digging into the console to insert my mic splitter is
always a
pain. Is there any gotcha to having two wireless receivers for the
same microphone?

No.

Two transmitters operating on the same frequency at the same time in
the same place would of course be a problem.

It's a Sennheiser EW 100 G2 (don't know the frequency range yet).
I've found lots of receivers on eBay for $115.

You seem to understand the hidden gotcha, getting a receiver that run
in the right frequency sub-band.


Having a receiver that covers the proper frequency is only part of the
solution. There is likely another issue. Wireless microphone
transmitters compress the audio in order to increase the signal to
noise ratio. The companion receiver has a circuit that expands the
audio, essentially undoing what the transmitter has done, returning
the audio to 'normal'. Make sure the receivers you're looking at on
Ebay are compatible with the G2 transmitter.


I'll be getting a receiver identical to the one the church uses.


That's only common sense.
