Sennheiser EW-DP 835 SET (R1-6) Portable Digital UHF Wireless Microphone System with SKM-S Handheld Transmitter and MMD 835 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone Module - Black (700031)

We've been having issues with a recently bought system suffering endless sound quality issues when used in the workshop area, but also some issues outside - turns out it operates on the same frequency as WiFi - 2.4ghz! This system doesn't suffer the same issues at all - operating on UHF. This has been a massive step up in quality - both in terms of build quality and sound quality, but also in user experience, as this is very simple to operate, and leaves so much less work to do in post too! The quality of the lavalier is very good. It's sensitive, so it's worth experimenting with placement before starting to record your piece. There is an IOS app we are using that makes it simple to sync (via Bluetooth) and there is hardly any latency at all. This App also has some nice control functions included - mute/unmute, gain, and output can be adjusted without having to keep going to the person mic'd up - again, excellent functionality! We have it mounted to our Canon via the shoe, and then the RX simply snaps to it via magnet mount - super easy to fit and remove as needed. The battery that's included will give you around 7 hours time - but you can use 2x AA batteries to get you out of a jam if the battery runs out - very useful to know! I should note, there is a power input of course, but if you plug this in while recording, it will pick up interference - or so we found anyway. The RX display shows gain control and also shows the available battery time remaining, so you can see clearly how long you have. I almost forgot - range! We've used this for around 4 weeks now, both indoors and outdoors. Indoors we've found no issues anywhere in our building, even through the 1 or 2 walls/doors it has still remained reliable and clear. Outdoors we have had zero issues in normal use, but did test the limits and we found the signal start to drop after around 22 meters or so. For us, this wasn't an issue, but something to bare in mind of course. It is a fair chunk of money for sure, but considering how much faster this was to get working, and working really well, and the less time the audio will take in post, and of course the incredible audio quality now available for our videos, I have no reservations about recommending this, 100%! An exceptional piece of equipment.

When I saw this Sennheiser wireless handheld microphone I knew I HAD to order it for my son , whose band is starting to make videos with their releases as they progress they want to update their outdated equipment . This arrived in its own branded box . Included inside were :- EW-DP EK receiver EW-D SKM-S handheld transmitter MMD 835 dynamic cardioid microphone module mounting kit including plate, cold shoe, belt clip and screws BA 70 battery pack and 2x AA batteries locking 3.5mm TRS plug to 3.5mm TRS plug cable locking 3.5mm TRS plug to XLR plug cable USB-C charging cable . Downloading the app the EW-D Smart Assist provides automated setup , operation, and monitoring using any iOS or Android device via Bluetooth which was a bonus because this is such new kit my son hadn't tried anything as expensive or technical before , he said after his initial read of the operating instructions he found it easier to set it up with his amplifier in the studio ( it's also compatible with Personal Computers and Karaoke Machines ) . His view is this is the best microphone he's used ( and after 8 years he's been through a lot !). He says there's hardly any feedback when turning if in which will be welcomed when setting up for gigs . It's so well made it fills him with a multitude if possibilities how far he can push his music career . This set would be perfect for anyone in the music business from DJs to comperes . A solid piece of magical tech that's well priced .

Good system, but fails to warn you that in the UK you need an ofcom license to operate at this frequency of this mic system. Be aware of this!

This wireless microphone system from Sennheiser is a significant upgrade from its predecessor. It offers improved build quality, superior sound quality, and a more user-friendly interface, which sets it apart from other systems on the market. Here are the key features and benefits as I see them. Operates on UHF frequency: Cheaper/older systems tend to broadcast on 2.4GHz frequency, which is the same as older/dual-frequency Wi-Fi. This can lead to interference. UHF prevents any issues with Wi-Fi interference. High-quality cardioid lavalier mic: This is sensitive, so experimenting with placement is advisable before any live events. Useful Smart-Assist app helps make the setup quicker and easier. Bluetooth sync ensures low latency and provides remote control features, such as mute/unmute, gain, and output adjustment. This practical tool is perfect for serious content creators and professionals. Magnetic mount: This makes attaching/detaching the receiver to the camera's hot shoe very simple. Good battery life: It can last around 7 hours on a single charge, and you can use 2x AA batteries as backup. Informative RX display: Shows gain control and remaining battery life. Excellent range: Reliable indoors and outdoors within typical working distances; the signal may drop after about 22 metres. In summary, this is an exceptional wireless microphone kit designed with the professional in mind. It's a considerable financial investment, but in the long term, it should save you time and significantly improve the quality of your audio. As someone who does a fair bit of high-end media work, I highly recommend this product.

Sounds really good. We have it hooked to our sound board. I like having an app to mute/unmute the mic from the phone/tablet when the pastor forgets to mute/unmute. I know it was designed to be portable, but it works just as good this way too.

This Sennheiser lav kit has honestly been a total game-changer for my video setup. The fact that it powers on and off with my camera automatically is one of those simple features that makes such a huge difference – no more worrying about forgetting to turn things off and draining batteries. What really stands out is how much cleaner the digital signal is compared to the older G3 and G4 models. The frequency finder is way more refined, and you get that signature Sennheiser audio quality without all the headaches. Sure, the transmitter doesn't have its own little display, but honestly, who cares? You can control everything from the receiver anyway – gain, frequency, all that stuff. And if you want to get fancy, there's even a phone app that lets you tweak settings remotely. The price point is actually better than those older models too, which was a nice surprise. But the real winner for me has been the frequency management. I do a lot of press conferences where there are tons of wireless systems all fighting for airspace, and since switching to these digital units, I haven't had a single clash. It just works. Build quality feels solid too – nice metal construction with this magnetic plate that snaps onto my camera setup really securely. I've got four of these units now and they've been rock solid across all kinds of environments and distances. Sometimes the simple upgrade that actually delivers is the best kind of upgrade. These units are ready to use right out of the box and they include a rechargeable battery system that holds up for many hours while still giving you the versatility of using AA batteries when needed. Overall a GREAT piece of kit for any video or audio professional.

This is one of my best purchases in the past few months.

Erhalten habe ich ein tragbares digitales UHF-Drahtlosmikrofonsystem mit ME4-Ansteckmikrofon von Sennheiser. Im Lieferumfang befindet sich: # 1x digitaler portabler Ein-Kanal-Empfänger EW-DP EK # 1x digitaler Bodypack-Sender EW-D SK # 1x Ansteckmikrofon ME 4 # 1x Montageset # 1x Li-Ionen-Akku # 2x AA-Batterien # 1x Kabel 3,5-mm-Klinke (TRS) auf 3,5-mm-Klinke (TRS) # 1x Kabel 3,5-mm-Klinke (TRS) auf XLR # 1x USB-C-Ladekabel # 1x ganz tolle bildliche Anleitung – das versteht wirklich jeder. Sehr gut gemacht! Mir gefällt gut das die Empfänger gestapelt werden können. Durch die Magnetplatte ist das gar kein Problem. Diese passt sich genau an und hält bombenfest. Für die Magnetplatte findet man noch einiges an Montagematerial um wirklich jede Möglichkeit, den Empfänger zu befestigen usw., anbieten zu können. Die Beschreibung, welche sich ebenfalls im Lieferumfang befindet, erklärt wirklich alles. Z.B. was welches Licht (ob Dauerlicht oder blinkendes Licht) anzeigt / bedeutet. Sender und Empfänger kommunizieren so schnell das man kaum etwas mitbekommt und das Verbinden einfach und schnell von statten geht. Sollte es dennoch mal nicht gleich funktionieren, hat man auf beiden Geräten ein „Sync“ Knopf. Beide gedrückt, koppeln sie sich. Eine Anleitung um das Mikrofon mit einer Halterung auszustatten ist ebenfalls in der Beschreibung angegeben. Das Mikrofon hat noch ein Windschutz im Lieferumfang. Dieser lässt sich einfach überziehen. Klemmt man das Mikrofon z.B. an ein Hemd, sollte der Abstand zwischen Mund und Hemd nicht größer als 25 cm sein um keine Tonqualität einzubüßen. Beide Geräte können sowohl mit Akku als auch mit Batterie betrieben werden. Jeweils 1 Akku und 2 Batterien sind im Lieferumfang. Vor der Nutzung des Akkus sollte man diesen erst einmal vollständig aufladen. Mit diesen beiden Stromquellen kann man bei Lieferung das Set nutzen. Schade das nur 1 Akku im Lieferumfang ist und nicht 2. In der heutigen Zeit, wo alles und jeder auf die Umwelt achtet, wären Akkus (egal ob in Batterie oder Akkuform) einfach besser. Ich persönlich möchte lieber einen Akku, daher werde ich in naher Zukunft noch 1 bzw. 3 Akkus nachkaufen. Auch wenn der Akkulaufzeit beim Sender bis zu 12 Stunden beträgt und die Akkulaufzeit beim Empfänger bis zu 7 Stunden, sind sie doch immer leer, wenn man sie am dringendsten braucht. Daher besorge ich mir noch einen Ersatz das ich wirklich immer vorbereitet bin. Toll finde ich auch, dass man die Restlaufzeit angezeigt bekommt. So gibt es keine Überraschungen. Sollte man auch Batterien nutzen, benötigt man 2x AA Batterien pro Gerät. Die Apps, um das Set noch besser nutzen zu können heißen: EW-D Smart Assist und Sennheiser Dokumentation App. Beides wurde aber noch nicht heruntergeladen. Für den Preis hätte ich mir gerne noch eine Aufbewahrungstasche (Hartschale) gewünscht so das ich das tolle Set ohne Probleme transportieren kann und immer alles zur Hand habe. Wir sind mehr als zufrieden und können nur noch sagen das man hier wirklich erkennt das es sich um Markenqualität handelt. Ich habe kaum bessere Qualität gefunden aber, um ehrlich zu sein auch erwartet, dass Sennheiser mich vom Hocker reißt. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Perfekt! Daher auch noch einmal von uns – eine Kaufempfehlung !

I read the instructions. I behaved myself and installed the app. I used the app to sync the devices. Everything seemed great. I can't find information online, or in the documentation, as to why the receiver resets itself when the input passes a certain threshold. It's not in the video, but the receiver will reset itself when the audio gets close to peaking as well. The transmitter stays on without an issue. Why do I have to do an impractical, "UPS pickup," to return this. There's a UPS store that I wanted to drop this off at, but Amazon's return center didn't give me the option. I know it's dramatic, but I feel punished for being a customer.
