Modern Sound Mastery: Sennheiser EW-D Wireless Revolution
Sennheiser has ushered in a new era of evolution with the introduction of their latest wireless marvel—the EW-D wireless system. Upgrading the premium bundle from the reliable EW 100 to the cutting-edge EW-D system. This innovative wireless solution marries the pristine sound of digital technology with the myriad advantages of RF wireless transmission across the UHF spectrum, showcasing a significant leap forward in Sennheiser’s capabilities. Unlike a mere upgrade from the existing G4 system, the EW-D system is a complete reimagination, tailored to meet the demands of the modern era. Its automatic setup ensures a hassle-free experience, providing everything needed out of the box for wirelessly capturing audio in live music settings, presentations, or lecture series.
Let’s delve into what the EW 100 offers in its standard package. A half-rack receiver, accompanied by either a body pack or handheld transmitter, forms the core of this system. The package includes batteries that sustain the system for approximately 8 hours, with an option to upgrade to a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack for an extended operating time of around 12 hours. Rackmount angles, a power supply, and two quarter-wave dipole antennas are also part of the package. While these are standard, Sennheiser offers opportunities to enhance the system further with options like half-wave or external antennas. Notably, the EW 100 also grants free access to the Smart Assist app, allowing seamless operation through a mobile phone or tablet.
A variety of sets are available to cater to different needs:
- Lavalier Set with a choice between the ME2 lavalier (omnidirectional microphone) or ME4 lavalier (cardioid microphone)
- Handheld Set featuring an e 835 capsule
- Combo Set combining the lavalier (only ME2) and the handheld transmitter
- Headmic Set equipped with an ME3 headmic
- Instrument Set including a CI1 cable with a ¼ inch jack
- Base Set 1 comprising a body pack with no lav mic
- Base Set 2 offering a handheld receiver with no capsule
For those who prefer customization, components and capsules can be purchased individually.
Now, let’s explore the primary differences between the EW 100 and the Sennheiser EW-D wireless system:
- Digital Transmission: The EW-D system operates digitally, maintaining a superior audio format compared to analog signals.
- Dynamic Range: The EW-D system boasts the highest dynamic range in the market.
- Channels: While the EW 100 has 32 channels, the EW-D system impressively offers 90 channels.
- Smart Assist App: The Smart Assist app, connecting via Bluetooth Low Energy, streamlines setup and operation from a distance.
- Bandwidth and Latency: The EW-D system features increased bandwidth and the lowest latency among current systems.
Comparing the two:
Feature | EW 100 G4 | EW-D |
Channels | 20 | 90 |
Selectable Frequencies | 1680 | 2,240 |
Bandwidth | 42MHz | 56MHz |
Transmission | Analog UHF | Digital UHF |
Operation | LCD Control Panel | Smart Assist Mobile App |
In terms of range, the system offers up to 100 meters in an ideal situation. Even in less than perfect conditions, 30 feet should be sufficient for most stage venues, accounting for factors like absorption, attenuation, and congestion.
If you require multiple microphones for your venue or event, the EW-D system supports up to 90 channels, allowing for equidistant tuning grid utilization. This grid, with channels spaced 600kHz apart, eliminates interference and drop-outs, enabling the use of multiple wireless microphones in a dedicated space.
The Sennheiser EW-D wireless system boasts several notable features:
- Auto-scan: An automatic setup that ensures the most reliable connections with minimal time and effort.
- Mute Button Override: A handy feature allowing the receiver’s mute switch to be overridden from the app, providing control even in the absence of the presenter or performer.
- Rugged Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of the stage, the EW-D system ensures durability and peace of mind for sound engineers.
A standout feature is the Smart Assist app, offering unparalleled control. With this app, users can configure, operate, and manage the entire system from anywhere within range. The app includes features such as channel naming, color-coding for organization, auto-scan for easy setup, manual frequency scanning, gain control, range indicators, and battery life indicators. A support hub within the app provides guidance, featuring detailed information, videos with tips and tricks, and visual aids. Even in the absence of the device or connectivity, the entire EW-D wireless system can be operated from the receiver end.
In conclusion, we are thrilled to present this cutting-edge EW-D system, promising the highest quality in the market. Its simplicity of use and user-friendly features make it an ideal choice for those seeking the best wireless system for their venue.
