Sennheiser EW-D ME4 S1-7

Get your talent heard

Whether you’re a singer, public speaker, or spoken word artist, you need total clarity to get your message across. That’s why the Sennheiser EW-D ME4 Wireless Lavalier Set comes with an ME 4 lavalier mic included. Its sub-miniature condenser element is favoured for its high speech intelligibility and cardioid polar pattern, ensuring that background and ambient noise is pacified. It’s easy to attach to clothing, remaining out of sight when appearances are important. Enjoy clean, undistorted audio, even when you’re performing with passion. High SPL handling capabilities allow you to reach up to 120dB without affecting your sound quality.

Become your own engineer

All you need is an Android or iOS device. With the Evolution Wireless System, it’s easy to manage your workflow from the free Smart Assist app. Alongside comprehensive control from the receiver, you can alter parameters from anywhere in the room. Take advantage of automated setup that intelligently creates wireless connections, colour code and name channels/subjects, and allocate frequencies with wireless channel naming. The centralised control eliminates complicated menu navigation, maximising your workflow and streamlining your operation. It even has a working ‘demo’ mode so you can use the app before you buy the hardware.

Sound that gets you noticed

Next generation technology for the next generation of live performers. The Evolution Wireless System gets every detail of your talent heard with a wide dynamic range. Unlike lesser systems, microphone sensitivity doesn’t have to be reduced to prevent your transmitter from overloading. Instead, the EW-D’s unrivalled 134dB dynamic range allows for the highest input of any wireless system ever. You’ll hear the deepest lows and the brightest highs, all without distortion getting in the way.

Space to perform

The wireless spectrum is always getting more crowded. But with EW-D, you’ll never have to worry about finding space. With an extended 56 MHz bandwidth, you’ve got room for more microphone channels, resulting in crisp, clean reception. Because the Evolution Wireless System is scalable up to 90 channels, you’ve got unrestricted access to a larger part of the frequency spectrum no matter where you go. The result? Flawless signal integrity every time you perform.

Less interruptions…

… and less interference. Evolution Wireless has corrected the age-old problem of transmitter overload. Where older wireless systems would require complex calculations to prevent intermodulation, the EW-D uses Equidistant Spacing, allowing you to use multiple transmitters in close proximity. As soon as you find a clean channel, you can use it safely without harming your system.

Wide compatibility

Although The Sennheiser EW-D ME4 Wireless Lavalier Set comes with a microphone included, the EW-D SK transmitter is compatible with Sennheiser’s wide range of microphones, giving you the freedom to tailor your wireless system to you exact needs. Compatible mics include (but are not limited to) MKE Essential, MKE 1-EW-3, ME2-II, ME3 II, ME 4-N, HSP Essential, HSP 4, HSP 4-EW, SL HEADMIC 1, and SL HEADMIC 1-4 series.
