Sennheiser EW-DP | Easy-to-Use Digital Wireless System

In this week’s episode we get to know Sennheiser’s new EW-DP wireless system. This prosumer UHF system is built for camera-top use to simplify and streamline filmmaking and content creation workflows. System-wide Bluetooth integration and app control make setting up and monitoring during recording easy. In this video we test out the EW-DP’s sound, range, and reliability, and show you how to effectively incorporate it into your workflow. Let’s take a closer look!
