About the Sennheiser HSP 2-EW Lightweight Neckband Mic Assembly [B-Stock]
The Sennheiser HSP 2-EW is a professional, lightweight neckband microphone assembly designed for the Evolution Wireless G3 and G4 series bodypack transmitters. As a B-stock item, it has been factory recertified to ensure full functionality, potentially with minor cosmetic signs of prior use. The system consists of a flexible, padded neckband from which extends a thin, inconspicuous gooseneck boom terminating in a high-quality, miniature omnidirectional condenser microphone capsule. This design provides secure, comfortable, and discreet hands-free operation for presenters, fitness instructors, worship leaders, and performers who require consistent vocal pickup without the visual presence of a handheld mic or the hassle of a headband. The neckband distributes weight evenly across the shoulders, making it suitable for extended wear.
The microphone capsule is positioned via the adjustable gooseneck, allowing the user to precisely place it a few centimeters from the corner of the mouth for optimal voice clarity and level consistency. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures consistent sound capture even if the user turns their head, which is ideal for presentations and interactive roles. The assembly connects to a compatible Sennheiser Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitter via a secure, locking 3.5mm mini-jack, and is powered by the transmitter's plug-in power. The included cable is routed neatly along the neckband to minimize tangling and microphonic noise. The microphone typically includes a foam windscreen to reduce plosives and mild breath noise.
Engineered for durability and user comfort, the HSP 2-EW features a soft, hypoallergenic neckband material and a robust gooseneck that holds its position. Its lightweight design prevents fatigue during long events. As a recertified accessory from a leading wireless microphone manufacturer, it offers a cost-effective solution for expanding the versatility of an existing Evolution Wireless system, providing broadcast-quality audio with the convenience and professional appearance required for demanding applications in corporate AV, performing arts, education, and live events.
