The Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2/835-S SET (Q1-9) is a versatile and comprehensive dual-channel digital wireless system engineered to address multiple audio capture scenarios within a single, integrated package. This professional set uniquely combines two distinct wireless microphone types: one channel configured with a handheld transmitter body paired with an MD 835 dynamic microphone capsule, and the other channel featuring a bodypack transmitter with the renowned MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone. Operating within the Q1-9 frequency range of 470 to 550 MHz, the entire system utilizes a fully digital signal path to deliver pristine 24-bit/48 kHz audio with robust RF stability, ultra-low latency, and exceptional resistance to interference. This dual-form-factor approach provides immediate flexibility for applications such as panel discussions with a moderator (handheld) and multiple panelists (lavalier), or for live performances requiring both a handheld vocal mic and a wireless lavalier for a presenter or instrumentalist.

The handheld component features the robust SKM-S transmitter body, designed for ergonomic handling and durability, and is topped with the MD 835 dynamic capsule. This capsule is known for its tailored frequency response that enhances vocal clarity with a pronounced presence peak, a supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback, and a rugged construction ideal for demanding live sound environments. The lavalier channel utilizes the compact SK bodypack transmitter, which pairs with the discreet MKE 2 lavalier, a standard in broadcast and theater for its natural, consistent omnidirectional sound and reliability. Both transmitters communicate with the included 1U rack-mount dual-channel receiver, which houses two independent tuners in a single unit, offering centralized control, monitoring, and switching for both audio feeds.

System management and setup are streamlined through the receiver's intuitive interface and advanced digital features. The system supports automatic frequency coordination, scanning the RF environment to assign two clean, compatible frequencies to the transmitters simultaneously. The receiver provides comprehensive control over each channel's audio parameters, such as gain and output level, and offers both analog XLR and 6.3mm outputs for each channel. The inclusion of necessary accessories—such as microphone clips, a windscreen for the handheld, and clips and a tie mount for the lavalier—makes this a true turnkey solution. By integrating two of the most common professional wireless microphone formats into a single, reliable digital system, the Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2/835-S SET offers production companies, houses of worship, and corporate AV teams unparalleled flexibility and audio quality for complex, multi-voice applications.
