EW-DP ME 2 Set

This has been a very dependable unit for me. I primarily use it to wirelessly transmit to a satellite speaker at weddings and other events. The battery life on the receiver is very good. The Bluetooth app makes it easy to spot check the battery levels or tweak settings from your phone. The auto channel scanning and pairing is easy to use. The cable options make it very compact and versatile.

When I saw this Sennheiser wireless handheld microphone I knew I HAD to order it for my son , whose band is starting to make videos with their releases as they progress they want to update their outdated equipment . This arrived in its own branded box . Included inside were :- EW-DP EK receiver EW-D SKM-S handheld transmitter MMD 835 dynamic cardioid microphone module mounting kit including plate, cold shoe, belt clip and screws BA 70 battery pack and 2x AA batteries locking 3.5mm TRS plug to 3.5mm TRS plug cable locking 3.5mm TRS plug to XLR plug cable USB-C charging cable . Downloading the app the EW-D Smart Assist provides automated setup , operation, and monitoring using any iOS or Android device via Bluetooth which was a bonus because this is such new kit my son hadn't tried anything as expensive or technical before , he said after his initial read of the operating instructions he found it easier to set it up with his amplifier in the studio ( it's also compatible with Personal Computers and Karaoke Machines ) . His view is this is the best microphone he's used ( and after 8 years he's been through a lot !). He says there's hardly any feedback when turning if in which will be welcomed when setting up for gigs . It's so well made it fills him with a multitude if possibilities how far he can push his music career . This set would be perfect for anyone in the music business from DJs to comperes . A solid piece of magical tech that's well priced .

The receiver doesn’t work. It will only turn on if it’s plugged into USBC. I tried multiple AA batteries and the lithium ion battery pack. None of them work. Was supposed to shoot with it today real bummer. In addition The Kit is missing the cold shoe adapter as well as the screws and the microphone we received was the incorrect Lavalier. This led to a ton of wasted time on set Jerry rigging it to my gimbal. Adorama tried to get out of this part saying that the cold shoe adapter wasn’t included in this kit, which is patently false. The kit absolutely does come with the adapter and even has a picture of it listed on the outside packaging with the box. ALSO In the box, we received the ME4 Lavalier and we were promised the ME2 Lavalier, which is much better suited to my needs than the ME4. I bought this item at a discount and I was hoping to resolve this by receiving the correct Lavalier and a functioning receiver, as well as the cold shoe adapter and screws, but instead Adorama opted to issue me a refund and said that I could re-order the unit at full price. This is really poor Customer Service in my opinion. I had always thought that Adorama was a professional company that would do the most basic quality control on their items for their clients. The fact that items were missing and or swapped out their parts and I received a completely non-functioning unit is totally out of lines with my expectations. Extremely disappointed.

Sounds really good. We have it hooked to our sound board. I like having an app to mute/unmute the mic from the phone/tablet when the pastor forgets to mute/unmute. I know it was designed to be portable, but it works just as good this way too.

This wireless setup is fantastic for inside or location recording. If you want to record outside, you'll likely want to also pick up a mic mitt so you don't have wind noise, but that's the only other thing you need besides what's in the box. The distance and clarity of this system is better than any other wireless system I've tried. I can see this being useful for on the street reporting or TED-type talks or church services. I think the secret to this system sounding so good and having such great range is that instead of using the 2.4Ghz band like cordless phones and wifi, it uses the UHF band, which can go through obstacles and even walls fairly easily. Getting the best UHF frequency for any location is very easy because it has an auto-scan where it will find the best frequency for the area you're in at the press of a button. Couldn't be easier. Everything you need to use this is in the box (with the exception of a mic mitt if you're recording outside), so it really is ready to set up and go as soon as you get it. I've been a Sennheiser fan for years, and this high-quality product doesn't change that at all. Recommended.
