More about Sennheiser's EW-DP Series

Time is measured differently on set. Seconds converted into frames, minutes into card space, hours into that precious remaining daylight. This calculation is reflected in our ever-evolving kits: we maximize space, reduce build time, and boil each set-up down to a science, all to fight the clock. It makes sense. Production is demanding, both in the challenges it presents, and the quality expected of its results—and it all comes down to time.

EW-DP puts time on your side. A wireless microphone system that blends best-in-class technology with an ergonomic build, it will change the way you think of sound on set.

Fully digital UHF guarantees cutting-edge signal clarity and reliability. An innovative magnetic stacking system makes set-up a snap. Attach the cheese plate and stack receivers on top for fast and secure mounting, it’s as simple as that. Smart Notifications quickly identify missed yet critical problems that occur in your workflow. Alerts for audio clipping, low battery, blocked frequencies, muted transmitters, or unlinked devices automatically pop up so you’re never caught off guard. Auto frequency coordination locates, organizes, and maximizes frequency usage with precision ensuring you find the most reliable signal in the most efficient way possible. The Smart Assist app puts the control in the palm of your hand, allowing you to adjust your system at camera or across the room. In short, EW-DP enables you to save valuable time and energy.

Every second counts on set. Each moment is an opportunity to push your work further. Whether you’re a crew of one or many, EW-DP is the ideal partner to simplify your audio workflow and give you the confidence to focus on a successful shoot. After all, production has enough challenges; sound doesn’t need to be one of them.
