I was able to use the Sennheiser EW-D right out of the box!

[@castguy1949]

I have used the Audio-Technica for quite a while with absolutely no problems.

Good review, talks about all the relevant topics and doesn't dive into irrelevant details. 👍👍 I think two aspects should be highlighted though: 1. As others have already commented, an EW-D system can definitely be set up without the app, and the two EW-D systems that I have did work out of the box. Having said that, the app isn't too bad and can be useful. 2. I do quite a bit open air/outdoor live sound, and in that specific setting the fact that EW-D uses Bluetooth instead of infrared for syncing transmitters and receivers can be a lifesaver - in sunlight infrared is often totally useless and you need to do funny magic movements to shield the infrared link from the sun😅

Unique selling proposition of the EW-D in the UK is that it operates on channel 70 which is one of the few license exempt frequencies.

[@MelloTMusic]

I live In south Florida where getting a clear channel is the worst the 2.4 frequency. can you explain the difference between and analog and digital system and which is better for me

[@jonathanrose456]

Comparison of distance ranges would be helpful

[@bhsaproduction]

what does the rear of the receivers look like? what accessories come in the kit for rack mounting?

[@cwize]

All of these companies have websites that have pretty exhaustive information on the wireless mics. I’m specifying 8 Shure SLX-D into a school auditorium currently. Normally I would specify the ULX-D, but this project does not have the budget. The ULX-D is has Dante built in, offers dual and quad channel receivers, etc. I have never had issues with them even in crowded frequency areas. I’m hoping the SLX-D will perform similarly. The back of a receiver is going to have 2 BNC connectors for A & B antennas,and XLR and/or TRS (1/4”) audio output connector(s). Shure usually has all rack kits in the box.

You can use the EW-D completely without the app. I don’t even have the app, I prefer using the unit itself. The EW-D absolutely walks all over the other two, no question

[@brightengale]

What's your go-to brand for professional audio gear?

[@goldensounddj5606]

shure, i have both slx analog and slx-d both with beta87 capsule also have wired beta58 and beta 57

[@gobrad]

Is the Shure GLXD4 rated below What you’ve covered here?

[@DjPhiveStar]

Yes - that unit is Bluetooth not UHF

[@SuperThuma]

Sennheiser #AllDayEveryDay...

[@seanschwartz4875]

#sennheiseralltheway

[@charlyviolinofficial5789]

Which is better shure or sennheiser?

[@seanschwartz4875]

I personally have invested in the Sennheiser EW-D systems they are super reliable on the RF side and very easy to use.

[@miguelhaddadchavelas7454]

Shure SLXD-SHURE is amazing!! but now I want to taste a sennheiser EW-D

[@ukaszjozwiak-hb6qz]

Sennheiser ew d to skrócona, zubożała wersja EW D g4. Mikrofon, nadajnik bez wyświetlacza, ograniczony odbiornik. Senn 500 ma sens tylko wtedy, gdy jest to stary produkt. Na razie więc wygrywa Shure SLXD.

[@charlyviolinofficial5789]

Oh why?

[@morsikpl]

Nie istnieie coś takiego jak "EW D G4"... G4 są tylko analogowe. Może chodziło Ci o "EW-DX"?

[@tedbahas]

EW-D has several major advantages over the other two. First it does not suffer from RF intermodulation. Both the AT and the Shure system have to use coordinated frequencies. So even if you have 25khz steps between freqs in most cases you need to space channels out around 250khz in order to avoid intermod. The Sennheiser EWD can use equal spaced frequencies at 25khz so you can pack many more channels into each band. Secondly The dynamic range of EWD is way higher than both the AT and the Shure systems. The AT system has to company the signal to transmit the audio. The companding degrades audio signal significantly. This is true of any analog system. The full bandwidth non-companded Shure and Sennheiser systems don’t need to do this. Lastly the Sennheiser system is the most modern of the bunch. It can operate stand alone without the app. You can use the app to control a bunch of channels and is compatible on a component level with all of the accessories and capsules with any other evolution wireless system.
