The Sennheiser EW-DP EK (R1-6) is a dedicated camera-mount digital wireless receiver operating in the R1-6 frequency band (520 to 576 MHz). It is designed as the companion receiver for EW-DP series plug-on transmitters, providing a direct wireless audio link to the camera for professional video production. The receiver attaches securely to the camera's accessory shoe and connects to the camera's audio input via a locking 3.5mm cable, delivering a clean, line-level signal. This setup is essential for documentary filmmakers, news crews, and content creators who need to capture high-quality, synchronized audio without the hassle of cables running from a subject to the camera.

Featuring a straightforward interface with a clear display for channel and battery status, the EW-DP EK receiver provides reliable reception using the robust RF and audio technology of the EW-DX series. By mounting the receiver directly on the camera, the system remains compact and mobile, greatly simplifying the audio setup on location and enabling shooters to move quickly while maintaining a professional wireless audio connection.
