Introducing Sennheiser EW-DP Wireless

Time is measured differently on set. Seconds converted into frames, minutes into card space, hours into precious remaining daylight. Sennheiser EW-DP will change the way you think of sound on set. A wireless microphone system that puts time on your side by blending best-in-class technology with an ergonomic build.

Fully digital UHF guarantees cutting-edge signal clarity and reliability, and an innovative magnetic stacking system makes set-up a snap. Smart Notifications quickly identify missed yet critical problems, so you’re never caught off guard. Auto frequency coordination locates, organizes, and maximizes frequency usage with precision ensuring you find the most reliable signal in seconds. The Smart Assist app puts the control in the palm of your hand, allowing you to adjust your system at camera or across the room.

Whether you’re a crew of one or many, EW-DP is the ideal partner to simplify your audio workflow. After all, production has enough challenges; sound doesn’t need to be one of them.

Sony MDR-MV1: Spatial Mixing For Everyone!

The Sony MDR-MV1 ($399) offers extended spatial sound reproducibility and accurate sound object positioning within a 360-degree space, as well as clear, hi-resolution, nuanced sound with a super-wide frequency range and accurate soundstage. The headphones’ uniquely developed driver units provide ultra-wideband playback (5Hz – 80 kHz) with natural high frequencies. This makes it easier for professionals to capture localization, spaciousness and detailed changes in sound processing.

The open back structure of the headphones reduces internally reflected sounds and eliminates acoustic resonances while accurately reproducing natural, rich spatial information and sounds. These robust features support their use in professional mixing and mastering environments while accommodating audio engineers’ highest standards
