About Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2

For professional-grade audio capture and reliable wireless connectivity, the EW-DX MKE 2 SET from Sennheiser stands out as a premier choice for broadcasters, filmmakers, and live performance professionals. This two-channel digital wireless system includes the renowned MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone, ensuring crystal-clear sound reproduction in a variety of demanding environments.

The EW-DX EM 2 Rack Receiver is engineered with a robust, all-metal chassis, designed to endure the demands of professional use. Whether placed on a tabletop or rackmounted with the included hardware, this receiver offers exceptional versatility for both portable setups and permanent A/V installations. With a substantial 87 MHz tuning range and intelligent switching diversity, the receiver guarantees stable wireless performance and high channel counts, even in areas with complex RF activity.

The receiver's Bluetooth capabilities allow for seamless remote synchronization and setting adjustments via the Smart Assist app, directly from your smartphone. Additionally, Sennheiser's Control Cockpit and Wireless Systems Manager software provide advanced computer-based control for intricate networked configurations, enhancing the system's utility for large-scale operations.

The EW-DX EM 2 receiver's UHF operation significantly improves range, allowing for up to 330 feet of coverage, while the equidistant tuning grid simplifies frequency coordination, enabling simultaneous operation of up to 146 mic channels, or up to 293 channels in Link Density mode. AES-256 encryption ensures that your transmissions remain secure and inaccessible to unauthorized listeners.

The receiver's user-friendly interface, featuring dual high-contrast OLED screens, simplifies setup with clear visual feedback on RF signal, battery status, and audio output levels. The auto-scan function swiftly identifies the clearest frequency, while Bluetooth pairing with transmitters can be accomplished from up to 120 feet away, facilitating quick and efficient setup.

For enhanced control, the Smart Assist app offers convenient operation and monitoring from your mobile device, while the Control Cockpit software and Wireless Systems Manager provide comprehensive management options for your wireless system. The receiver also supports third-party interface plug-ins for seamless integration into controlled environments.

To further optimize wireless reliability, the receiver's detachable antennas can be upgraded or complemented with additional antenna options, such as the ADA UHF Active Antenna or the AWM Wallmount Antenna. For multi-receiver setups, the EW-D ASA Splitter ensures clear reception by distributing a dual-antenna signal across multiple receivers without intermodulation issues.

The EW-DX SK Bodypack Transmitter, included in this set, is a digital bodypack wireless transmitter that is both lightweight and durable, making it ideal for performers and presenters. The transmitter's locking 3.5mm TRS connector is compatible with a wide range of lavalier and headset microphones, as well as instrument cables, accommodating diverse audio sources with its impressive 134 dB dynamic range.

Notable features of the EW-DX SK transmitter include a lockable mute button, a persistent e-Ink display for easy identification and parameter checks, and extended battery life with both AA batteries and the included BA 70 lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack. The transmitter's equidistant tuning grid and Link Density mode ensure reliable operation in complex setups with multiple channels.

The MKE 2 Lavalier Microphone, a key component of this system, is a high-sensitivity, omnidirectional condenser microphone that delivers broadcast-quality sound. Its discreet profile and consistent frequency response make it a favored choice for capturing audio in a variety of settings, from stage performances to on-location film shoots, without the distraction of handling noise.

In summary, the EW-DX MKE 2 SET is a comprehensive solution for professionals seeking top-tier audio quality and dependable wireless performance. Whether used in broadcast, film, or live events, this system offers the flexibility, control, and audio fidelity required for superior sound capture and transmission.
