Product details

Overview

What is the Sennheiser EW-DX EM 4 DANTE?

The Sennheiser EW-DX EM 4 DANTE is a four-channel digital wireless receiver in a 19 inch rack housing with Dante network audio output and an integrated antenna splitter. Up to 4 units cascade to 16 channels from one antenna pair, with 1.9 ms latency and up to 88 MHz switching bandwidth, which suits Dante-based conference centres, hotels and auditoriums in the UAE.

It is the multi-channel rack receiver of the Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Digital EW-DX range. It receives four EW-DX handheld, bodypack or table stand transmitters and sends all four channels to the audio network over Dante, so a DSP or mixer on the same network picks them up without analogue cabling. It has an internal auto-switching power supply with an IEC connection.

Why this product

Key Benefits

  • Four channels with Dante output

    All four channels go onto the network as Dante audio at 48 kHz or 96 kHz, 24 bit, with Dante primary and secondary ports for redundant networks.

  • Integrated antenna splitter

    Antenna power and two BNC loop-through outputs let up to 4 EW-DX EM 4 DANTE units share one antenna pair for 16 channels, with 0 dB ±0.5 dB gain relative to the antenna inputs.

  • Four configurable network ports

    Each port can be set as Control, Control plus Dante primary or secondary, or Dante primary or secondary only, so control and audio can sit on separate networks.

  • Wide tuning and dense channel plans

    Up to 88 MHz switching bandwidth gives up to 146 channels at 600 kHz spacing, or 293 channels at 300 kHz in Link Density Mode.

  • Low latency and secure links

    The Sennheiser Performance Audio Codec gives 1.9 ms latency and 134 dB dynamic range, and AES-256 plus Dante media encryption protect the audio.

  • Managed from anywhere

    Sennheiser Control Cockpit, Wireless System Manager, the Smart Assist App and third-party control system plug-ins manage every channel.

Use cases

Applications

  • Conference centres and hotel ballrooms

  • Auditoriums and university lecture halls

    Rack-mounted receivers with network monitoring suit a central control room.

  • Places of worship

    Four handheld or bodypack channels in one rack unit, with headphone monitoring at the front.
