The Sennheiser EW-D 835-S SET with Handheld and MMD 835 Mic Capsule delivers pristine 24-bit digital audio and a 134 dB dynamic range, combining professional-grade performance with intuitive operation. Featuring an equidistant tuning grid, Bluetooth app setup, and robust rackmount design, this wireless microphone system is ideal for presenters, educators, clergy, and live performers who need reliability and clarity. Despite its advanced capabilities, the EW-D remains simple to configure, automatically optimizing mic levels and securing stable signals without manual frequency coordination. With UHF transmission extending up to 330 feet and a 56 MHz bandwidth offering 2240 selectable frequencies, it ensures consistent performance even in crowded RF environments. The system’s 1.9ms latency and Intelligent Switching Diversity eliminate lag and interference for flawless live sound, while the Smart Assist App allows effortless pairing, monitoring, and control from your mobile device.

This configuration includes the EW-D EM single-channel receiver, the MMD 835 dynamic cardioid capsule for crisp, focused vocal pickup, and a lightweight metal handheld transmitter with a built-in switch for stage durability. The transmitter pairs instantly with the receiver via Bluetooth from up to 120 feet away and operates for 8 hours on AA batteries or 12 hours with the optional BA 70 rechargeable pack. Housed in a rugged half-rack metal chassis, the EW-D EM receiver can sit on a table or be rackmounted for touring or permanent setups. Its high-contrast OLED display and streamlined menu make navigation easy, even in dim lighting, while the auto-scan function selects the clearest available frequency in seconds. Users can also manage settings through the Smart Assist App within a 120-foot Bluetooth range.

Delivering legendary Sennheiser sound, the EW-D’s wide dynamic range eliminates the need for gain adjustments, capturing everything from soft speech to powerful vocals with precision. The 24-bit processing and flat 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response ensure pure, detailed sound, while ultralow latency keeps performers perfectly in sync. The MMD 835 capsule’s cardioid pattern minimizes background noise and feedback, and the metal transmitter includes a lockable mute switch for greater control. Its modular capsule design supports multiple Sennheiser and Neumann options, allowing users to tailor the mic’s pickup to any performance environment.

The EW-D EM receiver features intuitive controls, real-time RF and battery monitoring, and both balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" outputs for flexible connectivity. Detachable dipole antennas improve RF stability and can be upgraded for enhanced performance, while rackmount hardware and international power adapters are included. Its equidistant tuning grid simplifies multi-channel operation by spacing frequencies evenly to prevent interference, allowing up to 90 mic channels to run simultaneously without complex coordination. Operating in the UHF band, the EW-D avoids Wi-Fi congestion and maintains professional-grade reliability.

Through the Smart Assist App, users can configure, monitor, and operate up to 16 channels from a single mobile device, adjusting frequencies, muting, and naming channels for easy organization. The app also provides access to tutorials and manuals, making it easy for newcomers to achieve professional results. For larger setups, additional devices can each manage 16 channels, ensuring scalable control across complex wireless systems.

Optional upgrades include longer 1/2-wave antennas for greater range, front-mount kits for improved line-of-sight reception, and directional antennas or splitters for advanced multi-receiver installations. To expand functionality, the EW-D SK bodypack transmitter accommodates a range of Sennheiser microphones and cables, including lavalier and headset options for presentations and worship services, as well as instrument cables for guitars and keyboards. With its flexible configuration, uncompromising sound, and intelligent digital design, the EW-D 835-S SET offers a seamless blend of simplicity and professional performance suitable for any stage or setting.
