Instantly set up a powerful, versatile 2-channel wireless system with this B&H Kit that combines a Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 half-rack wireless receiver with two bodypack transmitters and two omnidirectional lav mics. This kit is ideal for a range of personal and professional applications.
The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 is a half-rack, dual-channel digital wireless receiver compatible with EW-DX SK bodypack, EW-DX SKM handheld, and EW-DX TS tabletop transmitters. Housed in a rugged, all-metal chassis built to withstand the rigors of professional use, it can either sit on a tabletop or be rackmounted (with the included rackmount set) for portable rigs and permanent A/V installs.
The wide 87 MHz tuning range, intelligent switching diversity, auto-scan, equidistant tuning grid, and Link Density mode work to provide rock-solid wireless performance and massive channel counts, even in challenging RF environments. Bluetooth capabilities allow you to remotely sync components and change settings from your phone using the Smart Assist app, while Sennheiser's Control Cockpit and Wireless Systems Manager software provide computer-based control for more extensive networked setups. The EW-DX EM 2 receiver is backward-compatible with EW-D components.
- The EW-DX EM 2 operates in the UHF band, far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band.
- The UHF transmission greatly enhances range (up to 330') and the wide 87 MHz bandwidth gives you the ability to find a clean channel from 3480 available frequencies.
- Intelligent Switching Diversity offers effective protection against multipath and other anomalies that cause RF interference. The system compares incoming signals on two independent antennas and receiver circuits to ensure optimal wireless quality. The receiver switches between antennas only during header data as to never affect the audio information.
- Sennheiser's equidistant tuning grid removes the need for frequency coordination and enables you to operate up to 146 mic channels simultaneously.
- For complex systems requiring even more mics, engage the Link Density mode for up to 293 channels on the same system.
- AES-256 encryption keeps your transmissions private and safely protected from unauthorized users.
- The EW-DX EM 2 receiver offers intuitive front-panel controls and dual high-contrast OLED screens with meters for RF, battery status of the associated transmitter, and audio output that make setup a breeze.
- The auto-scan function automatically seeks out the cleanest available frequency for you.
- The receiver pairs with the transmitter via Bluetooth from up to 120' away, enabling you to quickly pair the mic directly from the stage without having to bring it close to the receiver.
- The back panel houses two balanced XLR outputs and two unbalanced 1/4" outputs for direct connection to any PA system or mixing board.
- The unit comes with a kit for rackmount installation and a universal power supply with EU, US, and UK adapters.
- With the Smart Assist app (free download available separately) installed on your Android/iOS phone/tablet, the power of Bluetooth connectivity puts full control of the EW-D EM 2 right in the palm of your hand. Use your mobile device to connect via Bluetooth for efficient operation and monitoring of your system.
- Sennheiser's Control Cockpit software for Windows allows you to view all the devices across your network, check the microphones in use, monitor battery life, troubleshoot problems, and adjust settings.
- For larger setups, Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager provides frequency planning and coordination and real-time monitoring of RF and audio levels. It also allows you to import frequency scans from third-party devices and conduct walk tests and receiver bandwidth scans.
- The system supports third-party interface plug-ins for easy integration into any controlled environment.
- The rear-mounted, 1/4-wave detachable antennas can be upgraded to longer, 1/2-wave dipole antennas (available separately) for added range and reliability; you can also choose an ADA UHF Active Antenna or the AWM Wallmount Antenna as well.
- For setups with multiple receivers, the EW-D ASA Splitter allows you to split and distribute a dual-antenna signal across four receivers for clearer reception without the intermodulation problems that can occur when multiple antennas are used.
The Sennheiser EW-DX SK is a digital bodypack wireless transmitter compatible with EW-DX wireless receivers. Lightweight and comfortable for performers and presenters to wear, the bodypack features a rugged, all-metal housing well suited for daily use in conference rooms, houses of worship, or on stage.
The EW-DX SK is equipped with a locking 3.5mm TRS connector that accommodates the compatible lavalier or headset microphone of your choice, or an adapter cable for guitar and bass. With a remarkable 134 dB dynamic range on its input, the transmitter can handle a wide variety of sound sources, including loud vocalists and performers, connections to musical instruments, and even line-level signals from mixers, all without requiring any gain adjustment.
- The EW-DX SK features a mute button that can be locked out and overridden from the receiver or a mobile device during a performance. It quickly pairs with the receiver via Bluetooth at a distance up to 120', at the press of a button.
- The persistent e-Ink display helps you quickly name and identify the transmitter and allows you to see parameters, even when the unit is powered off.
- The transmitter provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries (included) or 12 hours with a BA 70 lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack (available separately). External charging ports allow for in-transmitter charging using the CHG 70N network charging dock (available separately).
- The EW-DX system utilizes an equidistant tuning grid that equally spaces 3480 frequencies across its wide 87 MHz bandwidth to prevent disruptive intermodulation issues that occur when multiple transmitters operate in confined spaces.
- The system can be expanded with multiple transmitters and receivers to offer up to 146 channels in equidistant tuning grid mode, and up to 293 channels in Link Density mode.
- The EW-DX SK is backward-compatible with EW-D receivers.
- The sweat-resistant, subminiature MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier mic offers a pristine, broadcast-quality sound and is easy to conceal.
- The unobtrusive ME 2 omnidirectional lavalier mic provides a forgiving pickup pattern that captures sound equally well in every direction.
- The ME 4 cardioid lavalier mic offers a narrower, feedback-resistant pickup pattern for louder events.
- The ME 3 cardioid headset mic provides enhanced speech clarity for lectures and presentations.
- The CI 1 instrument cable lets you connect the bodypack transmitter to a guitar, bass, or keyboard.
This Senal OLM-2 Lavalier Microphone is a high-performance lavalier microphone with a locking 3.5mm connector for Sennheiser EW and Senal AWS-2000 wireless transmitters. Its miniature, lightweight design allows for discrete placement without compromising sound quality. This versatile workhorse microphone is ideal for broadcast, video, and stage applications.
Utilizing a broadcast-quality electret condenser element, it features a smooth frequency response and a wide dynamic range. Its omnidirectional polar pattern enables 360° sound pickup, capturing a natural blend of voice and ambiance with low sensitivity to wind and handling noise, as well as to vocal plosives.
