Sennheiser recently announced the 5th generation of its Evolition Wireless microphone ecosystem, the Sennheiser EW-DP (buy here). Given Sennheiser’s previous generation wireless microphones and their level of performance and reliability, we had to check out the new Sennheiser EW-DP for ourselves while at NAB 2023 in Las Vegas.

The biggest difference between the new 5th Generation and the previous generation models is that the EW-DP is entirely digital. Its predecessors were all analogue. This represents a significant change for Sennheiser’s flagship portable wireless system and helps to speed up the on-set workflow.

Sennheiser announced the fifth generation of its wireless microphone system. The company says it’s purpose-built for content creators, filmmakers and broadcasters, offering a wide range of applications. It’s a digital UHF wireless system “with a new portable design and unmatched audio quality” that’s designed to be as easy to use as possible.

Accessibility seems to be one of the major selling points of the Sennheiser EW-DP system (buy here), with a stackable “intelligent receiver” to help beginners get up and running quickly and to help old pros save setup time on set and speed up the workflow. There’s also a smartphone app that lets you remotely control up to 16 systems simultaneously from a single device.
