Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2-835-S SET Dual-Channel Digital Combo Wireless Kit with Omni Lavalier, Handheld Mic & Bag (R1-9: 520 to 607 MHz)

Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2-835-S SET: Dual-Channel Digital Wireless System with Lavalier and Handheld Microphones

The Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2-835-S SET is a powerful dual-channel UHF digital wireless system designed to meet the demands of professional environments—from live stages and lecture halls to corporate events and houses of worship. Offering a flexible combination of a discreet omnidirectional lavalier microphone and a handheld mic with a dynamic MMD 835 cardioid capsule, this system delivers exceptional clarity, control, and ease of use right out of the box.

Operating within the 520 to 607 MHz range, this wireless combo system provides reliable UHF transmission with a wide 87 MHz tuning bandwidth and up to 3480 available frequencies. With a dynamic range of 134 dB, both included transmitters handle everything from soft-spoken dialogue to powerful vocals without distortion. Features like intelligent switching diversity, equidistant frequency tuning, and Link Density mode ensure stable, interference-free performance—even in RF-heavy environments.

Wireless Lavalier System with MKE 2 Mic and Bodypack Transmitter

The included bodypack transmitter is compact, durable, and thoughtfully designed. Its locking 3.5mm connector securely holds the included MKE 2 subminiature omnidirectional lavalier mic, known for its high-output, low-noise performance. The MKE 2 captures natural vocal tone while staying unobtrusive, making it ideal for presenters, performers, and on-camera talent.

This transmitter features a lockable mute switch and a persistent e-Ink display that remains visible even when powered off—allowing you to name and quickly identify the unit. Power options include the included BA70 rechargeable battery, delivering up to 12 hours of runtime, or two AA batteries for up to 8 hours. Built-in charging contacts allow for direct docking with the CHG 70N charging station (sold separately).

Handheld Wireless Mic with MMD 835 Capsule and Full Control

The system’s second transmitter is a handheld wireless mic equipped with Sennheiser’s MMD 835 dynamic cardioid capsule, a reliable choice for stage vocals, worship services, or spoken word. Its cardioid pickup pattern effectively isolates the speaker’s voice while minimizing background noise and feedback. Like the bodypack, this mic features a mute switch, function buttons, and a user-friendly e-Ink display.

The MMD 835 capsule is also swappable. You can upgrade to any compatible Sennheiser or Neumann capsule, such as the MMD 935, MME 865, ME 9004, or Neumann KK204, depending on the vocal tone or environment you’re working in. This interchangeable capsule system gives you full control over your sound configuration, without having to change your transmitter.

Dual-Channel Receiver with Bluetooth and App Control

At the center of the setup is the rugged EW-DX EM 2 receiver, a dual-channel half-rack unit with an intuitive OLED screen that displays RF status, battery levels, and audio metering. Built-in Bluetooth lets you pair and sync transmitters from up to 120 feet away using the Sennheiser Smart Assist app on your mobile device.

For more advanced system management, the receiver connects to Sennheiser’s Control Cockpit and Wireless Systems Manager software through its RJ45 port, which also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for streamlined installations. Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch outputs provide flexible connectivity to mixers, PA systems, and recorders. A front-panel headphone jack with volume control makes monitoring easy, and a rackmount kit is included for integration into portable or permanent racks.

Scalable, Expandable, and Built for Long-Term Use

This wireless microphone set is part of the growing EW-DX ecosystem, meaning you can expand your setup as your needs evolve. Add bodypacks with ME 3 headset mics or ME 4 cardioid lavaliers, or use the CI 1 instrument cable to connect electric guitars or keyboards. For conference environments, the EW-DX TS tabletop transmitter supports gooseneck microphones with 3- or 5-pin XLR inputs.

To enhance signal strength and reliability, you can upgrade the rear-mounted 1/4-wave antennas to 1/2-wave dipole antennas, ADA UHF active antennas, or AWM wall-mount antennas. In multi-receiver configurations, the EW-D ASA antenna splitter allows you to distribute a single antenna pair across up to four receivers, ensuring clean reception without the risk of intermodulation.

Gator GM-2W Wireless Mic Bag for Travel Protection

For transport and storage, the Gator GM-2W wireless system bag is the perfect companion. Built from rugged 600D nylon, it’s designed to hold two wireless microphone systems, with dedicated compartments for rack receivers, handheld mics, cables, and spare batteries. It’s lightweight, durable, and essential for professionals who need to take their gear on the road.

Whether you're a live sound engineer, a church AV director, or a professional presenter, the Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2-835-S SET offers a complete, customizable wireless solution with the sound quality and control you need—no matter the venue or application.
