The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 Digital Rackmount Receiver 470-550 MHzis a half-rack, dual-channel digital wireless receiver compatible with EW-DX SK bodypack, EW-DX SKM handheld, and EW-DX TS tabletop transmitters. Housed in a rugged, all-metal chassis built to withstand the rigors of professional use, it can either sit on a tabletop or be rackmounted (with the included rackmount set) for portable rigs and permanent A/V installs.

The wide 80 MHz tuning range, intelligent switching diversity, auto-scan, equidistant tuning grid, and Link Density mode work to provide rock-solid wireless performance and massive channel counts, even in challenging RF environments. Bluetooth capabilities allow you to remotely sync components and change settings from your phone using the Smart Assist app, while Sennheiser's Control Cockpit and Wireless Systems Manager software provide computer-based control for more extensive networked setups. The EW-DX EM 2 receiver is backward-compatible with EW-D components.

For EW-DX Wireless Systems    2-Channel, 1/2 Rackspace    Switching Diversity, Equidistant Grid    Wide 80 MHz Bandwidth, 3200 Frequencies    Standard and Link Density Mode    Bright OLED Display    Set Up/Operate from Phone via Bluetooth    Network-Enabled for Monitor and Control    Secure AES 256 Encryption    Expandable to 269 Channels/330' Range

• The EW-DX EM 2 operates in the UHF band, far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band.
• The UHF transmission greatly enhances range (up to 330') and the wide 80 MHz bandwidth gives you the ability to find a clean channel from 3200 available frequencies.
• Intelligent Switching Diversity offers effective protection against multipath and other anomalies that cause RF interference. The system compares incoming signals on two independent antennas and receiver circuits to ensure optimal wireless quality. The receiver switches between antennas only during header data as to never affect the audio information.
• Sennheiser's equidistant tuning grid removes the need for frequency coordination and enables you to operate up to 134 mic channels simultaneously.
• For complex systems requiring even more mics, engage the Link Density mode for up to 269 channels on the same system.
• AES-256 encryption keeps your transmissions private and safely protected from unauthorized users.

• The EW-DX EM 2 receiver offers intuitive front-panel controls and dual high-contrast OLED screens with meters for RF, battery status of the associated transmitter, and audio output that make setup a breeze.
• The auto-scan function automatically seeks out the cleanest available frequency for you.
• The receiver pairs with the transmitter via Bluetooth from up to 120' away, enabling you to quickly pair the mic directly from the stage without having to bring it close to the receiver.
• The back panel houses two balanced XLR outputs and two unbalanced 1/4" outputs for direct connection to any PA system or mixing board.
• The unit comes with a kit for rackmount installation and a universal power supply with EU, US, and UK adapters.

• With the Smart Assist app (free download available separately) installed on your Android/iOS phone/tablet, the power of Bluetooth connectivity puts full control of the EW-D EM 2 right in the palm of your hand. Use your mobile device to connect via Bluetooth for efficient operation and monitoring of your system.
• Sennheiser's Control Cockpit software for Windows allows you to view all the devices across your network, check the microphones in use, monitor battery life, troubleshoot problems, and adjust settings.
• For larger setups, Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager provides frequency planning and coordination and real-time monitoring of RF and audio levels. It also allows you to import frequency scans from third-party devices and conduct walk tests and receiver bandwidth scans.
• The system supports third-party interface plug-ins for easy integration into any controlled environment.

• The rear-mounted, 1/4-wave detachable antennas can be upgraded to longer, 1/2-wave dipole antennas (available separately) for added range and reliability; you can also choose an ADA UHF Active Antenna or the AWM Wallmount Antenna as well.
• For setups with multiple receivers, the EW-D ASA Splitter allows you to split and distribute a dual-antenna signal across four receivers for clearer reception without the intermodulation problems that can occur when multiple antennas are used.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How many mics can this receiver connect to, does it work with AVX Bodypack Transmitter?

A: This single receiver pairs with one UHF transmitter from the Sennheiser ew 500 series only. An AVX transmitter would not work, because it operates in a digital frequency range. An example of a full system is the Sennheiser ew 500 Wireless G4 Handheld Microphone System with e945 Capsule AW+ (470 to 558 MHz), BH #SEEW500G494W or for a clip-on mic, the Sennheiser ew 500 G4-MKE 2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System AW+ (470 to 558 MHz,) BH# SEEW500G4MKW.

Q: 2. Hi, is this compatible with EW 100 G4 series?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser 576131 Antenna for EW G3/G4 and EM-XSW 2 Receivers (470 to 862 MHz) is compatible for use with the Sennheiser EW 100 G4 Wireless Microphone System.

Q: 3. Can this be used as usb interface?

A: The Sennheiser EW-DP EK Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Receiver is a wireless receiver, not a USB interface, and it cannot output audio via USB.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with EW300 receiver?

A: Yes, that's what I use it on.

Q: 5. This is being touted as a G4 replacement, but will they have methods of mounting the receiver in sound bags?

A: This is a pertinent question which, as of mid-April 2023, Sennheiser has yet to address. Ultimately, the ability of the EW-DP EK to integrate into setups other than a strictly camera-mount scenario may be a deciding factor of its utility and the extent of its adoption within the industry.

Q: 6. Does this receiver have a warranty with it and if so, how long does it last and what does it cover?

A: Many Sennheiser products, including the Sennheiser EM 100 G4 Wireless Receiver have a Limited 2-Year warranty. You will find the specifics of the warranty terms and conditions here: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/service-support-services-warranty-conditions

Q: 7. Will this receiver work with the Sennheiser SK 500 G4 Bodypack Transmitter Freq.Range Aw+, 470-558 MHz?

A: Yes, it will work with the SK500G4 AW+.

Q: 8. Does this work for the XSW-2 receiver? I am confused by EM-XSW-2, is it the same receiver?

A: XSW-2 is the wireless system model. EM-XSW 2 is the model of the receiver in the system. If you have a XSW-2 system, then this antenna should work with that receiver.

Q: 9. Este intem pode ser enviado para o Brasil?

A: Thank you for your question. at this time we are unable to ship Sennheiser products to Brazil.

Q: 10. Do you know if this is compatible with the EW100 G2 receiver as well?

A: As long as you have the desk top receiver it should work. You are well within the frequency spectrum for this antenna. Just make sure you have BNC connectors on the back of the receiver.
