The Sennheiser EW-DP EK (Q1-6) is a compact, camera-mount digital wireless receiver designed to pair with the EW-DP series plug-on transmitters, operating in the Q1-6 frequency band (470 to 526 MHz). This receiver is engineered specifically for video production, attaching directly to a camera's hot shoe or mounting point via a secure locking mechanism. It receives the high-quality digital audio transmission from a compatible EW-DP transmitter—such as one connected to a lavalier or handheld microphone—and outputs a clean, line-level signal directly to the camera's audio input via an included locking 3.5mm cable. This setup provides videographers and filmmakers with a reliable, cable-free audio link from subject to camera.

The unit features a clear status display and simple controls for channel selection and monitoring. It leverages the robust RF performance and pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio quality of the EW-DX platform, ensuring exceptional sound with ultra-low latency. By integrating the receiver directly onto the camera, the EW-DP EK streamlines the production workflow, reduces setup time, and eliminates the need for a separate rackmount receiver on location, making it an ideal solution for solo shooters, documentary crews, and electronic news gathering (ENG) teams.
