NAMM: SENNHEISER GETS BAND
23 January 2015
Sennheiser has launched evolution wireless D1, and easy-to-use wireless range that operates in the 2.4GHz range. Aimed at bands who don’t want to worry about suitable frequency bands but need rock-solid stability and top-quality sound. D1 employs its aptX Live codec that ensures excellent audio quality and wide dynamics for vocals, speech and instruments over the entire audio frequency range. Overall latency is a low 3.9ms (not bad for the 2.4GHz range and fast enough for IEM use). To ensure optimum levels, ew D1 automatically sets the correct microphone sensitivity. Via the ew D1 menu control, bands have a range of audio effects at their disposal. These include a 7-band graphic EQ, low-cut filter, automatic gain control and de-esser. The D1 vocal systems come with dynamic evolution microphone heads but can naturally also be combined with the condenser capsules from the acclaimed series, which are available as accessories. For multiple systems, receivers will sync themselves to accommodate up to 15 channels (in an ideal RF environment). D1 transmitters can be powered by either standard batteries or rechargeable ‘accupacks’ that are available as accessories. evolution wireless D1 comes in complete, ready-to-use systems or can be tailor-made by combining individual components, which is especially attractive for vocal systems. Besides the vocal and instrument systems, the D1 series comprises headmic and lavalier systems.
