The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 4 DANTE (Q1-9) 4-Channel Digital Rackmount Receiver Kit is a comprehensive professional wireless system solution designed for high-density, networked audio applications in conference rooms, council chambers, courtrooms, and broadcast studios. Operating in the Q1-9 frequency range of 470 to 550 MHz, this kit includes a four-channel true-diversity Dante-enabled rackmount receiver paired with four gooseneck microphones featuring integrated bodypack transmitters. The system represents the latest generation of Sennheiser digital wireless technology, delivering 24-bit/48 kHz uncompressed audio with ultra-low latency and robust RF performance. Each gooseneck microphone is equipped with a condenser capsule optimized for speech intelligibility, providing clear, natural vocal reproduction for participants in meeting environments where multiple simultaneous speakers require individual microphone coverage.

The heart of the system is the EM 4 DANTE receiver, which houses four independent receiver channels in a single 1U rack space. This receiver is distinguished by its native Dante digital audio networking output, allowing all four wireless microphone channels to be transmitted as discrete, synchronized audio streams over a standard Ethernet network directly to a Dante-enabled mixing console, DSP, or recording system. This eliminates the need for analog audio cabling and simplifies system integration in modern AV installations. The receiver features a high-resolution color touchscreen for intuitive control of all parameters, including individual channel gain, RF scanning, and remote management of transmitter settings. Integrated Ethernet connectivity enables comprehensive system control and monitoring via Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager software, facilitating frequency coordination, remote diagnostics, and configuration of large-scale deployments.

The included gooseneck microphones are engineered for permanent installation, featuring flexible, adjustable gooseneck arms that allow precise positioning of the microphone capsules. Each microphone base contains a digital bodypack transmitter that operates on a single AA battery, providing extended operational time. The system employs advanced 256-bit AES encryption for secure transmission, making it suitable for sensitive governmental and corporate environments. With features like Automatic Frequency Management for interference-free operation, remote transmitter control from the receiver, and the scalability offered by Dante networking, this kit provides a future-proof, professional-grade solution for applications requiring reliable, high-quality wireless audio for multiple participants with the benefits of digital audio networking.
