The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 DANTE is a half-rack, dual-channel digital wireless receiver with Dante networking capabilities and compatible with EW-DX SK bodypack, EW-DX SKM handheld, and EW-DX TS tabletop transmitters. Housed in a rugged, all-metal chassis built to withstand the rigors of professional use, it can either sit on a tabletop or be rackmounted (with the included rackmount set) for portable rigs and permanent A/V installs.

The wide 80 MHz tuning range, intelligent switching diversity, auto-scan, equidistant tuning grid, and Link Density mode work to provide rock-solid wireless performance and massive channel counts, even in challenging RF environments. Bluetooth capabilities allow you to remotely sync components and change settings from your phone using the Smart Assist app, while Sennheiser's Control Cockpit and Wireless Systems Manager software provide computer-based control for more extensive networked setups. The EW-DX EM 2 DANTE receiver is backward-compatible with EW-D components.

• The EW-DX EM 2 DANTE operates in the UHF band, far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band.
• The UHF transmission greatly enhances range (up to 330') and the wide 80 MHz bandwidth gives you the ability to find a clean channel from 3200 available frequencies.
• Intelligent Switching Diversity offers effective protection against multipath and other anomalies that cause RF interference. The system compares incoming signals on two independent antennas and receiver circuits to ensure optimal wireless quality. The receiver switches between antennas only during header data as to never affect the audio information.
• Sennheiser's equidistant tuning grid removes the need for frequency coordination and enables you to operate up to 134 mic channels simultaneously.
• For complex systems requiring even more mics, engage the Link Density mode for up to 269 channels on the same system.
• AES-256 encryption keeps your transmissions private and safely protected from unauthorized users.

• The EW-DX EM 2 DANTE receiver offers intuitive front-panel controls and a high-contrast OLED screen with meters for RF, battery status of the associated transmitter, and audio output that make setup a breeze.
• The auto-scan function automatically seeks out the cleanest available frequency for you.
• The receiver pairs with the transmitter via Bluetooth from up to 120' away, enabling you to quickly pair the mic directly from the stage without having to bring it close to the receiver.
• The back panel houses two balanced XLR outputs and two unbalanced 1/4" outputs for direct connection to any PA system or mixing board.
• The unit comes with a kit for rackmount installation and a universal power supply with EU, US, and UK adapters.

• With the Smart Assist app (free download available separately) installed on your Android/iOS phone/tablet, the power of Bluetooth connectivity puts full control of the EW-D EM 2 right in the palm of your hand. Use your mobile device to connect via Bluetooth for efficient operation and monitoring of your system.
• Sennheiser's Control Cockpit software for Windows allows you to view all the devices across your network, check the microphones in use, monitor battery life, troubleshoot problems, and adjust settings.
• For larger setups, Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager provides frequency planning and coordination and real-time monitoring of RF and audio levels. It also allows you to import frequency scans from third-party devices and conduct walk tests and receiver bandwidth scans.
• The system supports third-party interface plug-ins for easy integration into any controlled environment.
• Dante ports allow you to integrate the receiver into your Dante network and distribute the digital audio anywhere you need it in your facility.

• The rear-mounted, 1/4-wave detachable antennas can be upgraded to longer, 1/2-wave dipole antennas (available separately) for added range and reliability; you can also choose an ADA UHF Active Antenna or the AWM Wallmount Antenna as well.
• For setups with multiple receivers, the EW-D ASA Splitter allows you to split and distribute a dual-antenna signal across four receivers for clearer reception without the intermodulation problems that can occur when multiple antennas are used.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The Sennheiser video says 32 bit float recording but the specs given by BH say 24 bit. Which is correct?

A: The sample rate for the Sennheiser EW-DP SKP Digital Plug-On Wireless Transmitter/Recorder (Q1-6: 470 to 526 MHz) is 24-bit.

Q: 2. Can multiple transmitters be paired with a single receiver? Similar to the Sony UWP system.

A: No, the EW-DP EK receiver is single-channel only and only one transmitter can be connected at one time.

Q: 3. If used with a the EW-DX EM 4, could use the antennas from the EM 4 by using the RF out of the EM 4 to the RF in on the EM 2?

A: Yes, the RF in of the Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 DANTE Two-Channel Digital Rackmount Receiver can be connected to the RF out (A and B) of the Sennheiser EW-DX EM 4 DANTE Four-Channel Digital Rackmount Receiver to utilize the 2 x 1/4-Wave Rod Antenna.

Q: 4. Can multiple EW-DP XLR transmitters be paired with a single receiver... Like on the Sony UWP system?

A: No, the Sennheiser EW-DP EK receiver can only be paired to one transmitter at a time.

Q: 5. does the transmitter allow for timecode input?

A: No, the Sennheiser EW-DP SKP Digital Plug-On Wireless Transmitter/Recorder does not allow for timecode input.

Q: 6. Will it work with the Sennheiser EK 500 G4 Pro Wireless Camera-Mount Receiver AW+: (470 to 558 MHz)?

A: The Sennheiser EW-DP SKP Digital Plug-On Wireless Transmitter/Recorder (Q1-6: 470 to 526 MHz) will not work with the EK 500 G4 Pro Wireless Camera-Mount Receiver. However, the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter AW+ (BH # SESKP500G4AW) will work.

Q: 7. Hello, So with the combo BH #SEME2835SR16 MFR #EW-D ME2/835-S SET (R1-6) will it be possible to use them simultaneously ?

A: No. The Sennheiser EW-D ME2/835-S SET Digital Wireless Combo Microphone System includes the Sennheiser EW-D EM Digital Wireless Receiver which has a single channel so only one transmitter can be used at a time with the receiver. To use both transmitters simultaneously, you will need a second receiver.

Q: 8. In terms of audio quality for streaming (using a Rode Caster Pro II), is it better to use SKP 500 G4 or EW-DP SKP?

A: The Sennheiser EW-DP SKP Digital Plug-On Wireless Transmitter/Recorder and the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter both require their compatible wireless receiver, as well as a microphone, in order to function. Both systems will provide high quality audio when used with the RODE RODECaster Pro II Integrated Audio Production Studio. One system would not necessarily be better than the other.

Q: 9. Can this unit be powered from the BA70 Li-ion rechargeable Battery Pack like the other components? Your specs only say AA's.

A: Yes, the Sennheiser EW-DP SKP Digital Plug-On Wireless Transmitter/Recorder is compatible with the BA 70 Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Pack.

Q: 10. Can the EW-DX EM 2 be used with an ASA-214 antenna splitter?

A: The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 Two-Channel Digital Rackmount Receiver is compatible with the Sennheiser EW-D ASA antenna combiner.
