About the Sennheiser EW-DP ME2 SET (R1-6) Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System (R1-6: 520 to 576 MHz)
The Sennheiser EW-DP ME2 SET (R1-6) is a comprehensive single-channel digital wireless microphone system, engineered for professional applications requiring reliable, discreet, and high-fidelity audio capture. This complete kit is centered around the digital plug-on transmitter platform, which is uniquely paired with the classic ME 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone. Operating within the R1-6 frequency range of 520 to 576 MHz, the system utilizes a fully digital signal path to deliver crystal-clear 24-bit/48 kHz audio from the microphone to the companion portable receiver. This digital architecture provides exceptional immunity to RF interference and dropouts, a critical advantage in complex wireless environments like corporate events, broadcast studios, and film sets, while maintaining exceptionally low latency for perfect audio-video synchronization.
The system's core component is the innovative plug-on transmitter, which attaches directly to the included ME 2 lavalier microphone via its cable, eliminating the traditional bodypack. This design offers significant flexibility, as the compact transmitter can be easily concealed in a pocket, clipped to a belt, or mounted on a camera if the ME2 is used as a camera-top mic. The ME 2 microphone itself is a proven professional tool, known for its consistent omnidirectional pickup pattern, natural sound reproduction, and durable, discreet design suitable for hiding under clothing. The included pocket-sized portable receiver is designed for ultimate mobility, featuring a clear OLED display for monitoring and a sturdy clip for attaching to a belt or bag, making the entire system highly mobile for use with DSLR cameras, smartphones (via adapter), or portable audio recorders.
Designed for ease of use and quick deployment, the system features automatic frequency synchronization between the transmitter and receiver, allowing for one-touch setup. The plug-on transmitter is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery offering extended operation, and it includes a comprehensive accessory kit with clips, a tie mount, and a windshield for the ME 2. The receiver provides both a 3.5mm output for consumer devices and a balanced 3-pin XLR output for professional cameras and mixers. Combining the simplicity and excellent sonic characteristics of the ME 2 lavalier with the robust digital wireless performance and versatile form factor of the plug-on system, the Sennheiser EW-DP ME2 SET is an ideal all-in-one solution for videographers, journalists, and content creators who need broadcast-quality wireless audio in a compact, easy-to-use package.
