Aidosti särötön äänentallennus
Ensimmäisenä maailmassa: Sennheiser EW-DP SKP -plug-on-lähettimessä on 32-bittinen sisäinen tallennus ja 134 dB:n dynaaminen alue
Helsinki, 15.9.2023 – Videokuvaajille, televisio- ja radioalan ammattilaisille ja elokuvantekijöille suunnattuun EW-DP-tuoteperheeseen lisätään lokakuun lopussa uusi EW-DP SKP -plug-on-lähetin. Lähettimen 32-bittinen sisäinen tallennus ja markkinoiden paras 134 dB:n dynaaminen alue varmistavat, ettei äänen säröytymisestä tarvitse enää huolehtia. SKP-lähetin käsittelee kaiken audion kuiskauksista lentokoneen jylinään ilman, että videokuvaajan täytyy säätää äänitasoasetuksia. Tämän ansiosta videokuvaa voi tallentaa entistä nopeammin ja helpommin sekä täysin luotettavasti.
“Unlike many competitors who offer 32-bit float recording, but not the means to really benefit from this technology as their transmitter limits the dynamic range right on the input side, Sennheiser gives you the industry’s best dynamic input range of 134 dB and 32-bit float – you could call this ‘true’ 32-bit float recording,” says Tobias von Allwörden, head of Sennheiser’s Audio for Video portfolio. “Combine this unique transmitter with a high-quality microphone, and you will have an incredible dynamic range, and incredible detail, too, without having to adjust the gain all the time – ideal for run and gun videography and cinematography.”
The recording function of the EW-DP SKP plug-on transmitter is like a safety net for the user, with a safety copy of their audio being stored on a micro SD card. The SKP additionally offers 24-bit, 48 kHz recording so that videographers can also opt for this less memory-intensive recording format.

Versatile and flexible
The SKP is the most versatile family member of Evolution Wireless Digital, as it can be connected to dynamic and condenser XLR microphones (+48 V phantom power on board) as well as to lavalier mics with a 3.5 mm jack connector. Its low-cut filter can be switched off, so the SKP can also serve as an adjustment tool for PA systems. “In a nutshell: The EW-DP SKP is the best plug-on transmitter that Sennheiser has ever manufactured,” says von Allwörden.
The plug-on transmitter is powered by the BA 70 rechargeable battery or by two AA batteries. It will be available separately or as part of the EW-DP ENG SET, which additionally includes the stackable EW-DP EK camera receiver and a bodypack transmitter with an ME 2 lavalier mic, giving videographers more options for recording their audio.
The system comes complete with a magnetic mounting plate kit, a BA 70 rechargeable battery, two standard AA batteries, a locking 3.5 mm TRS to 3.5 mm TRS cable, a locking 3.5 mm TRS to XLR cable, and a USB-C charging cable for the receiver.
