Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Digital: An App-based solutions for corporate and education spaces

Sennheiser has launched Evolution Wireless Digital. The series introduces an easy, app-based workflow while retaining all the professionality, multi-channel capability and reliability that users have come to expect of UHF and 1G8 microphones.

The all new systems are ideal for corporations looking for an easy wireless solution, and for schools who will find these mics to be equally at home in the classroom as well as on stage.

• The Smart Assist App

The app guides users through the setup, no wireless expertise is required. The app gives access to all system settings, and channels can be named to keep organized.

Bluetooth Low Energy allows for remote access to the system and makes syncing with the receiver convenient. The app also includes tutorial videos to get started and provides the operating instructions of the systems all in one place.

• Microphone transmitters that can handle any audio level

Evolution Wireless Digital transmitters have an input dynamic range of 134 dB. This means that they can pick up everything from a very soft whisper to a jet engine at 50 yards’ distance – and this eliminates the need for a sensitivity setting on the transmitter entirely.

The receiver has been set to a gain value covering most applications, which can easily be changed if required.

Nowadays, more and more RF is appearing in venues but Evolution Wireless Digital (EW-D) takes on this complexity and helps users to go with the flow. The app will scan the environment to find open frequencies.

And as EW-D has borrowed tech from Sennheiser’s top Digital 6000 and Digital 9000 series, the wireless microphone systems do not generate any significant intermodulation products.

This not only makes for more room in a given frequency window, but the app can also simply set the wireless links at 600 kHz intervals without any frequency calculation and is, therefore, able to fit in more frequencies than a standard mic system would be able to.

EW-D has a low latency of 1.9 milliseconds and a transmitter battery life of up to 12 hours with the BA 70 rechargeable battery pack, lasting all the way from rehearsing and soundcheck through to the event.

A bandwidth of 56 MHz with up to 90 channels per band makes it easy to find space even in the most crowded of RF environments.

As a digital system, EW-D does not use a compander. Gone are the associated noise floor and artefacts – the system will sound like it’s plugged in with a cable.

• Full range of pro accessories

From newly designed antennas to antenna splitters, boosters, charging sets – the system will grow with your demands to also accommodate larger multi-channel set-ups.

EW-D handheld transmitters coupled with any Sennheiser or Neumann wireless capsule. This includes the Neumann KK 205 and KK 204, the new Sennheiser MM 435 and MM 445 as well as the Digital 9000 capsules – a first at this price level.

The Evolution Wireless Digital will be available for sale in India in June. It will come with a choice of handheld, instrument, lavalier, head mic, combo and base sets (see Appendix).
