Sennheiser Expands Its Digital Wireless Microphone Family with the Availability of EW-DX

First components of the next evolution of wireless microphones for corporate and education environments ship this week

Old Lyme, November 17, 2022— ​ Sennheiser, the first choice for advanced audio technology that makes collaboration and learning easier, today announced the availability of the next system from the Evolution Wireless Digital family of radio microphones. ​ Named EW-DX, the new microphone systems simplify professional workflows by utilizing refined technologies to deliver a digital UHF system that can be scaled with ease.

“As the technological successor to our evolution wireless G4, EW-DX is designed for the most demanding business and professional applications,” says Michael Altemark, product manager at Sennheiser. ​ “Our latest digital wireless system solution is scalable, reliable and easy to install. ​ EW-DX has an advance feature set that allows it to easily scale from the smallest meeting space or classroom to the largest business and educational installations.”

Available This Week
​This week, the first flight of products started shipping from Sennheiser’s main warehouses in the United States, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. ​ The following components are available as part of these shipments:

EW-DX EM 2, two-channel digital half-rack (9,5”) receiver ​
​EW-DX SK bodypack transmitter with 3.5mm connector and with 3-pin connector
​EW-DX SKM handheld transmitter

Complete Control and Active Monitoring
​To coincide with the availability of EW-DX, Sennheiser also released an updated version of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit software this week. ​ With Version 6.0.0, Sennheiser Control Cockpit is now fully compatible with EW-DX, enabling monitoring, control and firmware updates for EW-DX devices. ​ For conformity, consistency and compatibility reasons, it is strongly recommended that the system be updated to the new release of Sennheiser Control Cockpit upon receiving the EW-DX. ​ This will ensure stable firmware upon first use.

The easy-to-use Sennheiser Control Cockpit continuously provides a global overview of all network-enabled devices. ​ It shows all status information at a glance and makes setting adjustments for one or multiple devices at the same time very easy. ​ For more information about Sennheiser Control Cockpit, additional details about the new features and to download the new version, visit https://en-us.sennheiser.com/control-cockpit-software.

Transmitters and Power Supply
​The handheld and bodypack transmitters will be the first on the market to feature e-ink displays. ​ Even when a transmitter is switched off, users will still be able to read essential device data. ​ Both transmitter types will be fitted with in-device charging contacts. ​ Using the dedicated BA 70 rechargeable battery pack, which can be charged using the L 70 USB charger (both BA 70 and L 70 USB are sold separately), the transmitters will have an operating time of about 12 hours. ​

In early 2023, Sennheiser will add to the Evolution Digital Wireless family charging options with the availability of the network-enabled charger, the CHG 70N, which features two individual charging bays for the EW-DX, one of which can charge EW-DX SKM, EW-DX SK or BA 70.
