Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2 / 835-S Set (Q1-9) Dual Digital Wireless Combo System

Versatile Dual Digital Combo Wireless System: Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2 / 835-S Set (Q1-9)

The Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2 / 835-S Set (Q1-9) offers the ultimate multi-purpose wireless audio setup for environments demanding both hands-free speech and handheld presentation. Purpose-built for corporate boardrooms, higher education auditoriums, houses of worship, and media broadcast rooms, this versatile combo package equips sound technicians with both a bodypack lavalier mic and a handheld vocal microphone running simultaneously on a single dual-channel rack receiver.

Operating across the clean Q1-9 Frequency Spectrum (470.2 – 550.0 MHz), this flagship combo system from our Sennheiser evolution wireless series catalog delivers an extraordinary 134 dB dynamic range driven by Sennheiser’s proprietary SePAC audio codec. This massive headroom removes transmitter input gain setup while guaranteeing crystal-clear, distortion-free vocal reproduction.
