Receiving End. The Sennheiser EW-DP EK Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver provides camera mounted receiving for transmitters in the EW-D family, such as the EW-D SK Wireless Bodypack Transmitter and EW-D SKM-S Handheld Transmitter. This unit is a great option for those DIY’ers, whether it be for videography, content creators, or journalists without a crew. This thing sets up pretty easily, and operates with pro-level features that delivers a simple, yet cultivating experience for beginners and professionals alike.

Tech and Battery Talk. The EW-DP receiver boasts a wide 56 MHz bandwidth, intelligent switching diversity reception with two antennas, and auto-scan with 2240 frequencies work to provide rock-solid wireless performance. To gain access to easy menu navigation a system status, a daylight viewable OLED display is front and center. For this rental, a BA 70 battery is included for those long hours on set, but this unit can also be charged via two AA batteries or the USB port, which allows it to run as long as you need it to.

Mount Like You Mean It. Not only does this device offer a cold shoe mount with a 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom, the receiver comes with a magnetic cheeseplate to expand your mounting options. The magnetic mounting system lets you securely stack a second transmitter right on top when you’re shooting two on-camera personalities.

Smart and Wireless. The EW-D Smart Assist app for iOS or Android provides automated setup, operation, and monitoring via Bluetooth. This app offers remote access to all features, but if your phone isn’t handy, you can control the system with the provided buttons. This is a system that does all the troubleshooting for you. For example, if your audio clips, Smart Notifications is right there to suggest lowering the gain. If your battery is running low, you’ll be alerted. And if the talent accidentally mutes their transmitter, you’ll be notified and will have the option to disable the mute remotely.
