Overview
The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 is a two channel digital receiver in a half rack metal housing for EW-DX handheld, bodypack and tablestand transmitters. It suits churches, classrooms, corporate campuses and live productions that want a network ready system without needing Dante.
Auto scan sets frequencies on an equidistant grid so channels stay free of intermodulation, and the Link Quality Indicator shows link health separately from RF level. Each channel has a balanced XLR and a 6.3 mm jack output, and the front panel has an OLED display, jog wheel and headphone output. Power comes from the supplied PSU or PoE, and remote monitoring runs through Control Cockpit or WSM. FFP supplies Australian legal bands and can advise which suits your venue.

Forefront Tip
Use the headphone output on the front panel during the line check. Solo each channel, listen to the mic before it hits the console, and you will catch a dodgy capsule or a mute switch left on before the audience does.
