High-headroom Digital Wireless Made Easy

Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Digital audio systems come trusted, tested, and recommended by pro audio experts at Sweetwater — not only for their quiet operation, but also for their ease of use. These digital wireless audio systems sidestep the noise and interference common to traditional analog wireless setups, pushing the limits of dynamic range to an impressive 134dB. UHF transmission dramatically increases range and reliability across all Evolution Wireless Digital devices. Not only that, but 2,240 selectable frequencies on the 56MHz bandwidth make these systems highly scalable, allowing for up to 90 channels of audio per wireless network. Now your whole band can perform wirelessly on the same network without having to worry about stepping on one another’s RF real estate. Plus, the Evolution Wireless Digital series’ automated setup creates reliable connections without complicated menu diving; for advanced users, more granular configuration and setup options are available via the free Sennheiser Smart Assist mobile app for Android and iOS.

The Sennheiser EW-D SKM-S wireless base set is ready to rock with your existing Sennheiser (or compatible) mic capsule. It includes everything else you need to get up and operational: a handheld transmitter, a receiver, a rack kit, and accessories.

What’s Included:

EW-D EM receiver and rack kit

Sennheiser wireless receivers are longstanding favorites of audio professionals. As with past systems, the Evolution Wireless Digital receiver is deceptively simple to set up yet it packs plenty of control under the hood. Sync and Auto Scan options make it straightforward to connect and manage devices. Meanwhile, the crisp LED display shows signal strength and battery life of your connected device at a glance. And if you need more control, advanced features are just a few button presses away. Got a mobile device? Connect to the Evolution Digital Wireless receiver via Bluetooth using the free Sennheiser Smart Assist app for Android and iOS, and you’ve got a wealth of configuration and monitoring tools right at your fingertips. The EW-D receiver also includes a rack kit for seamless integration into your stage and studio pro audio setups.

EW-D SKM-S handheld transmitter

With the Sennheiser SKM-S handheld wireless transmitter, setup couldn’t be easier. This device pairs to your receiver in seconds using the Sync command. Its spacious, ergonomic design allows plenty of real estate for handheld and stand-mounted operation. Just pop on your existing microphone capsule (not included), and you're ready to rock ’n’ roll. One feature Sweetwater sound engineers are quick to note is the SKM-S’s foolproof on/off switch, which is as intuitive as we’ve seen in a wireless system. A pair of AA batteries nets you up to eight hours of wireless operation. Want to go green and save some green in the process? Connect the optional Sennheiser BA-70 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (also not included) and get up to 12 hours of performance on a single charge.

Take control with the EW-D Smart Assist App

Sennheiser’s EW-D Smart Assist App for iOS and Android can control every aspect of your wireless system from anywhere in the venue — no extra hardware required! Within the app, you can manage up to 16 channels of audio via Bluetooth. It’s also super easy to use, thanks to a user-friendly interface: simply touch a button and get at-a-glance battery monitoring or streamlined channel switching. With the EW-D Smart Assist App in your back pocket, you can perform in total confidence.

Sennheiser Evolution Wireless Digital EW-D SKM-S Wireless Handheld Base Set Features:

  • Puts high-headroom wireless audio in the hands of audio professionals and working musicians everywhere
  • Base set: includes handheld transmitter, receiver, rack kit, and accessories
  • Microphone capsule not included

Worry-free Wireless!

We wanted you to know that all of the wireless systems you see here – and all of the wireless systems available at Sweetwater – are 100% compliant with the Federal Communication Commission's new rules governing wireless systems. You can be confident that these systems will work within the FCC's currently permitted frequency/power ranges. Please be aware that systems operating in the 617-652 MHz or 663-698 MHz range are now operating outside the FCC's new guidelines.

Rated 5/5

Amazing

Sennheiser ew-d is by far the best choice for gigging musicians. Highest dynamic range, lowest latency and literally sounds like a wired mic. Destroys the competition hands down.
Music background: Professional lead singer
Rated 4.5/5

Great system.

Great system. Sounds very nice. The only drawback is, no onboard battery charger. But you can instantly update using the app which is fantastic.
Music background: Cover band vocals for 7 years.
