EW-DP is the perfect wireless audio solution for content creators and filmmakers who might not have someone on the crew dedicated to sound. From automated channel management tools to in-app how-tos, EW-DP has features that make it easy to capture wireless audio with exceptional quality for your project.  

With so many innovative tools onboard, some features might be overlooked at first glance. We'll examine several of these while breaking down the innovative technology that powers these features and benefits you the most. 

Sennheiser EW-DP's Intelligent Switching Diversity ensures you enjoy a rock-solid audio connection without dropouts. While most wireless systems switch between antennas to find the strongest signal, Intelligent Switching Diversity does it differently. It constantly monitors your surroundings and available frequencies, predicting signal issues before they happen. It then switches antennas during the imperceptible gaps in the audio signal, ensuring flawless audio, free from dropouts or glitches. Best of all, it is automatic, with nothing for you to monitor or facilitate. 

EW-DP's equidistant tuning grid isn't something you'll ever notice, but it's a big part of what makes Sennheiser's Evolution Wireless Digital systems so remarkable. By eliminating intermodulation between its transmitters, EW-DP can equally space frequencies every 600 kHz alongside each other. On a technical level, this spacing simplifies frequency coordination and packs up to 90 channels into your available spectrum. On a practical level, it is the foundation of the next feature we'll investigate. 

 
EW-DP's Auto Scan feature—accessible from both the receiver and Smart Assist App—eliminates the guesswork of finding the best frequencies. Thanks to equidistant frequency tuning, Auto Scan can quickly find the strongest, most reliable frequency and lock it in. And if you encounter inference of any kind, simply rescan and Auto Scan will find the next cleanest frequency to use. 

EW-DP's impressive dynamic range is one of the system's unsung heroes. Capable of 134dB, it offers roughly five times more range than most wireless systems, capturing everything from a whisper to a shout without distortion. You can compare this to a camera with exceptional dynamic range. You get every detail without blowing out the highlights or crushing the shadows. The result is cleaner audio without constantly having to adjust input gain settings. 

Focusing on capturing video and audio simultaneously can pull your attention in different directions at once. EW-DP’s Smart Notifications help eliminate distractions and keep you focused on what's important. These subtle alerts inform you about potential issues like low-battery or interference. They even offer suggestions on how to solve the issue within the receiver itself.  

The Smart Assist app is more than just a remote control for your EW-DP system. It also boasts an in-app knowledge hub with user guides, troubleshooting tips, and detailed explanations. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting, the app provides instant access to the information you need, all from the smartphone in your pocket. 

EW-DP gives you a precise readout of our system’s battery life. It provides a percentage when using traditional AA-batteries and exact runtime in hours and minutes when using the Sennheiser BA 70 batteries. You can easily monitor any of your devices' remaining power on the receiver or from the Smart Assist app on your smartphone. Additionally, you can power the EK receiver via USB-C if your setup allows for it, even without a battery inside. For added peace of mind during longer shoots, you can purchase the Sennheiser EW-D Charging Set, which includes two additional BA 70 batteries and an L 70 USB charger which can charge two BA 70 batteries at once.  

While these features might not be the first things you notice, they play a vital role in making EW-DP a genuinely exceptional digital wireless audio system for content creators and filmmakers. And there are plenty more on board waiting to be discovered. Together, they create a reliable, worry-free audio recording experience only equaled by Sennheiser's remarkable sound and performance.
