Sennheiser is expanding its popular Evolution Wireless Digital series of wireless microphones with the addition of a new line of EW-DX components designed to simplify your workflow and make professional-quality, reliable wireless audio for conferences, meetings, and live performances easier than ever. Featuring 2- and 4-channel receivers, a wide 87 MHz bandwidth, extended battery life, optional Dante networking, AES-256 encryption, and up to 293 channels at once, this fully digital system delivers pristine, nuanced sound with a wide dynamic range for clear, intelligible speech and vocals.
More Channels for More Mics
Depending on your chosen frequency band, the EW-DX offers a maximum UHF tuning range of 87 MHz, providing plenty of options for the unit’s auto-scan function to find a clean frequency and create an interference-free operating channel with a wireless range up to 328'. The channel count has expanded even further, allowing up to 146 mics to operate at the same time using their equidistant tuning grid technology. Need even more channels? No problem. Simply engage the Link Density mode for a whopping 293-channel count. The system is backward compatible with EW-D components, and the new transmitters still offer the astonishing 134 dB of dynamic range introduced on that system, allowing them to handle a wide range of input levels with no sensitivity adjustment needed on the input. Initially, the systems are available with a half-rack two-channel receiver. In 2023, expect a half-rack two-channel receiver and a full-rack four-channel receiver, both with Dante networking.
Software Control for Less Drama
The EW-DX provides networked control—allowing you to monitor and manage settings remotely with Sennheiser Cockpit Control software, Wireless Systems Manager desktop software, and the Smart Assist app for mobile devices. Dante-enabled receivers will allow you to integrate digital audio into your existing networks, providing access across your entire facility. Third-party plug-ins are also supported, along with network-enabled intelligent charging for handheld and bodypack transmitters with the CHG 70N tabletop charger.
