About the Sennheiser EW-DPME2 SET(Q1-6) Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Mic System (Q1-6: 470 to 526 MHz)
The Sennheiser EW-DPME2 SET (Q1-6) is a fully integrated, single-channel digital wireless microphone system meticulously designed for videographers, journalists, and content creators who require a streamlined, camera-mounted solution for capturing high-quality, discreet audio. This all-in-one set combines the compact EW-DP digital plug-on transmitter with the renowned ME 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone, operating in the Q1-6 frequency range of 470 to 526 MHz. The system's fully digital signal path ensures pristine 24-bit/48 kHz audio transmission with robust resistance to RF interference and extremely low latency, guaranteeing perfect synchronization with video. Its defining operational characteristic is the elimination of the traditional bodypack transmitter; instead, the plug-on unit attaches directly to the lavalier's cable and is designed to mount securely on a camera's cold shoe or cage, creating an exceptionally clean and portable setup ideal for solo operators or run-and-gun production.
The included ME 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone is a professional standard, valued for its consistent, natural sound reproduction and minimal handling noise. Its omni pattern captures a balanced representation of the acoustic environment, which is advantageous for achieving a natural, open sound when the microphone is placed close to the subject's mouth. The system's companion is a pocket-sized portable receiver, which features a clear OLED display for monitoring signal strength and audio levels and can be easily clipped to a belt or bag. This receiver offers dual output flexibility, providing both a 3.5mm TRS jack for direct connection to consumer cameras and a balanced 3-pin XLR output for professional recorders or mixers, making the system adaptable to a wide range of production workflows.
Engineered for rapid deployment and ease of use, the system features automatic frequency synchronization, allowing the transmitter and receiver to pair with a single button press for a quick, error-free start. The plug-on transmitter is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that supports extended recording sessions, and the complete set includes a comprehensive accessory kit for the ME 2 microphone, featuring clips and a foam windshield. By integrating the reliable performance and natural sound of the ME 2 lavalier with the wireless freedom and camera-mount convenience of the digital plug-on platform, the Sennheiser EW-DPME2 SET provides a professional, all-in-one audio solution that delivers broadcast-quality wireless sound directly to the camera, perfect for documentary filmmaking, event coverage, and corporate video production.
