About the Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2 SET (R1-9) Dual-Channel Digital Wireless System with Two Omni Lavalier Mics (R1-9: 520 to 607 MHz)
The Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2 SET constitutes a comprehensive, professional-grade wireless microphone system engineered for critical applications where discreet, high-fidelity audio capture is paramount. This dual-channel digital system is a complete package, incorporating two handheld transmitter bodies, two corresponding rack-mount receiver modules, and a pair of renowned MKE 2 omnidirectional miniature lavalier microphones. Operating within the R1-9 frequency range of 520 to 607 MHz, this system leverages a fully digital signal path from microphone to receiver output. This digital architecture is fundamental to its performance, delivering pristine 24-bit/48 kHz audio quality that faithfully reproduces every subtlety of the human voice while providing exceptional immunity to the RF interference and signal degradation that can plague analog systems in challenging environments.
Designed for ultimate flexibility and reliability, the system's components are built to professional standards. The miniature MKE 2 lavalier microphones are the point of capture, renowned for their neutral, natural sound signature and consistent omnidirectional polar pattern, which ensures clear audio even if the subject turns their head. The robust, ergonomic bodypack transmitters securely house the digital circuitry and provide reliable, encrypted transmission to the dual-channel 1U rack-mount receiver. This receiver offers intuitive control via its front-panel display and buttons, allowing for easy channel coordination, gain adjustment, and system monitoring. The digital transmission protocol not only ensures crystal-clear audio but also facilitates advanced features like remote control via network and sophisticated frequency management for coordinated multi-system operation.
Deployment and scalability are central to the system's design. The inclusion of two complete channels in a single rack unit makes it an ideal solution for stereo recording applications, interviews with two subjects, or as a scalable foundation for larger installations. The digital infrastructure supports wide-band operation, allowing users to scan the available spectrum and automatically find the clearest frequencies for both channels simultaneously. With robust metal construction, comprehensive accessory sets for microphone mounting, and the proven durability of Sennheiser's professional products, the EW-DX MKE 2 SET provides broadcasters, corporate AV teams, and theater sound engineers with a trusted, all-in-one solution that combines discreet form factor with uncompromising digital audio performance and robust wireless reliability.
