Overview
The EW-DX SK is the bodypack transmitter for the Evolution Wireless Digital range. It takes any Sennheiser lavalier or headset with a 3.5 mm jack, and has an instrument input with cable emulation, so the same pack works for a pastor, a presenter, a theatre cast member or a guitarist.
With 134 dB of dynamic range there is no transmitter gain to set, which removes one of the most common causes of distorted lapels at events. The metal housing stands up to daily use, and the E-Ink display keeps showing the channel and name even with the batteries out, which makes sorting packs before a show quick. Charging contacts let the pack charge in a CHG 70N with a BA 70 battery fitted. It suits churches, schools, conference venues, theatre and hire stock. FFP supplies Australian legal bands and can advise which one suits your venue.

Forefront Tip
Order the bodypack on the same band as your receiver (EW-DX EM 2, EM 2 Dante or EM 4 Dante) and sync it with the receiver over infrared before every show. For lapels, set the low cut to 100 or 120 Hz to cut clothing rustle and handling noise. If you run more than a couple of packs, a CHG 70N or L 70 USB charger with BA 70 batteries pays for itself in AA cells within a season.
