Frequently Asked Questions

The patented dual-diaphragm design creates a micro-climate that wicks away moisture, preventing condensation and signal degradation during demanding performances.
The EW plug system is proprietary to Sennheiser wireless systems, so you’ll need a compatible receiver or adapter if you’re not using Sennheiser equipment.
While convenient for capturing natural room tone, the omnidirectional pattern picks up everything—ambient noise and feedback are potential concerns; careful monitoring and gain staging are crucial.
