In addition to the cold shoe mount with a 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom, the receiver comes with a magnetic cheese plate that provides flexible mounting options for camera cages and accessory arms.
The magnetic mounting system lets you securely stack a second transmitter right on top when you’re shooting two on-camera personalities. And Sennheiser offers a combiner cable that will allow you to record both receivers to a camera’s single 3.5mm input.

EW-D Smart Assist app (free download available separately) provides automated setup, operation, and monitoring using any iOS or Android device via Bluetooth. Auto frequency coordination creates reliable wireless connections for up to 16 systems, no wireless expertise required.
Remote access to system settings whether at camera or across the set allows for quick and discreet adjustments on the fly—without having to bring the transmitter close to the receiver. If your phone is not available, you can fully operate your system using the buttons on the receiver.

EW-DP is a wireless system that troubleshoots for you. Smart Notifications provide suggestions to errors that occur when setting up or operating the system. If your audio clips, Smart Notifications will suggest lowering the gain. When your battery is running low, the system will alert you.
If you try to operate on a blocked frequency, you will be prompted to select another. If your transmitter and receiver are not linked, you’ll be prompted to press sync. And if the talent accidentally mutes their transmitter, you’ll be notified and will have the option to disable the mute remotely.

[1.9 ms] I bought this to use with my G4 wireless mics for a director or script super to monitor. I read the instructions about how to setup and it seems fine. Need some more time with it to really see how it does overall. 5

[10 mW (EIRP)] I've been using these mics for years and they have always been reliable. This system works great and gives me additional confidence in range and it's very easy to use. In addition to this combo system I bought 2 of the lavalier only systems and all 3 have been a great improvement over my earlier mics. 5

Bob	07/09/2024
[1.9 ms] I've only had the EW-D for a few weeks, but have used the units in a very RF-hostile area, in a combined setup with other wireless mics, without difficulty. Easy setup, very good performance, no difficulties - exactly what I need in a wireless microphone that travels 5

Michael	27/08/2024
[25 kHz] These are extremely stable, and constantly running. Really love the quality. 5

[1] Great system for field work. 5

[1] Restored several broken units 5

Peter	13/08/2024
[Auto-Scan] I use these on set with a compatible G4 transmitter (you need to turn off pilot tone) for client headphone monitoring. Sounds much better than the popular 216mhz VHF systems. 5

[10 mW (EIRP)] Nice unit. Very well built, easy to use. But weve all come to expect that from the upper level Sennheiser stuff anyway. It is half rack design and I was able to mount it side by side with an older, Audio Technica 3000 series in my rack by only drilling one hole in the connector plate on bottom...fits nicely. The picture of the headset mic is a little deceiving; the headband looks large and robust, but that wide section youre looking at is just a thin cloth band that does not conform to the molded wire frame assembly like it looks in the picture. I think they must have put a lot of starch in it to hold that shape for the product photo. With that said, the headset is still of decent quality overall and I like the fact that it uses a condenser mic instead of dynamic. I choose this particular headset because I provide wireless for events that have younger children and the fancier, more expensive ear hanging headset mics do not stay on those tiny ears and heads all that well. This is a little bulkier but will hold on where the other, sleeker models will fall off. I like everything about the display on both the transmitter and receiver. Dont misunderstand me; I like the Audio Technica UHF stuff that is available at this price point. The Sennheiser electronics and features are literally apples to apples the same as the comparable model Audio Technica, but about $20.00 more for the Sennheiser. For that extra $20 you get a condenser headset mic (the A/T is dynamic) and a little more robust headset. Im not walking away wishing I could have had... This is exactly the headset wireless I wanted. 5

[7 Hours] Lo recomiendo puesto que su Banda de trabajo es muy amplio. Y viene muy bien empacado. Excelente Gracias B&H por su atención. 5

[7 Hours] We purchased this for a two day outdoor equestrian event, we're horse people, not audio people and it was simple, plugged in the xlr to the PA system and it worked. Used it constantly for two days and did not even have to change batteries. No problems. B&H is awesome too. 5
