The Sennheiser EW-DP SKP (Q1-6) is a versatile digital plug-on transmitter that also functions as a standalone audio recorder, operating in the Q1-6 frequency band (470 to 526 MHz). Designed to connect directly to the XLR output of a professional camera or mixer, it converts the wired audio signal into a secure digital wireless transmission for EW-D series receivers while simultaneously recording the audio internally to a microSD card. This dual functionality is invaluable for broadcast journalists, documentary filmmakers, and solo operators, providing a wireless link and a critical audio backup in a single, compact device.

The unit features a full-color touchscreen for intuitive control over settings, real-time monitoring, and file playback. It supports high-quality 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio transmission with 128-bit AES encryption and records in broadcast-quality WAV formats. Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it can also pass phantom power to a connected microphone. The EW-DP SKP de-risks field audio capture by ensuring that vital sound is never lost, whether transmitted wirelessly or recorded locally, making it an essential tool for mission-critical audio applications.
