EW-DX: The "Digital" Evolution Tailored for Modern Productions
With EW-DX, Sennheiser advances the Evolution Wireless philosophy toward a digital UHF platform designed to grow with your needs. The approach emphasizes deployment efficiency (scanning, channel allocation, supervision) and a more natural integration into current control rooms, where networking, RF coordination, and remote control have become essential. The EW-DX EM 2 fits this logic by offering a compact, robust, and system-oriented two-channel receiver: it sits at the center of your wireless chain while remaining ready for multi-channel deployments.
For Whom and What: Stage, Corporate, Broadcast, and Fixed Installations
The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 is a relevant choice whenever you need to secure a wireless microphone link while maintaining quick setup: live stages, tours, conferences, places of worship, theaters, multipurpose rooms, or service providers. Its 9.5-inch half-rack format facilitates integration into flight cases or racks, while retaining direct front-panel control (OLED display, rotary knob, buttons) and headphone monitoring. It is designed for use with Evolution Wireless Digital transmitters - handheld, bodypack, and lavalier - to form a coherent system from stage to control room.
- Worldwide use (specific frequencies subject to local RF regulations)
