Profile Wireless - Product Tour | Sennheiser

[@langkinhcongnghe]

The Sennheiser Profile, the microphone that many new creators have been searching for, has finally arrived-the microphone I have been eagerly anticipating for a long time!

[@tombuck]

This looks super rad. And hooray for metal locking mic connectors!

[@sennheiser]

Thanks Tom!

[@waynerm002]

Like that they are metal and from Sennheiser. Used my ME-2 mic with my Rode Wireless Pro and a couple of times, and I somehow didn't make the connection right and only had recording on 1 side. With this system, the mic should connect with no issues, unless I mess it up.

[@hiddeninsweden]

Top quality audio is my absolute priority, i can’t wait to get my hands on this tool.

[@DanielLeget]

Yes! Finally! In addition, this microphone system looks great, and beautiful.

[@waynerm002]

Wow, finally a Sennheiser system for creators, that's small and portable. It would have been nice to have 32bit float to compete with the other guys but, I'll take Sennheiser quality.

[@sennheiser]

Hi there, we appreciate your kind words! 32 Bit float audio recording is supposed to make internal recordings "un-clippable", but sadly this is not fully true as it does not prevent the microphone capsule from overloading on loud noises - which will also cause the recording to clip. With Profile Wireless we have chosen another path to minimize the risk of audio clipping: Internal stereo-recording. Instead of increasing from 24 to 32 bit, our Profile Wireless features stereo recording on its internal microphone that records with two different audio levels, thereby maximizing the used audio bandwidth of the microphone capsule and reducing the chance of clipped audio. Stereo recording is also applicable when an external lavalier is connected.

[@jerry.berumen]

@@sennheiser i dont use 32 bit for not clipping. i use it to not worry about gain staging and being able to safely record both channels. this was probably a pricing issue. im guessing that getting 32 bit converters inside that thing would have been a lot more expensive.

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

@@jerry.berumen With 24-bit recording on a quality system, the noise floor is already so low, you can basically record at -30 dB and nobody will notice a thing when you put a 30 dB gain on it later. At least as long as you're not necessarily trying to record audiophile HiFi for the next Grammy nominations (but then you wouldn't be using a wireless system anyways)

[@jonathanbergqvist4897]

24 bit files are actually extremely versatile, and as many have pointed out, you can add a ton of gain in post production without introducing more noise than if it were to be 32 bit. 32 bit is a bit of a gimmick IMO.

[@waynerm002]

@@sennheiser Good to know, thanks for shating.

[@dermoderator909]

Ich bin immer wieder von euch beeindruckt. Ihr nehmt eine Idee, entwickelt sie weiter und macht sie vielfältiger, dazu noch eure Tonqualität, schlicht genial. Ich finde es wirklich gut, dass ihr bei diesem Set an quasi alles gedacht habt und gleich alles dabei ist, was man für die unterschiedlichsten Situationen braucht und das in einem kleinen Format. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt

[@risingstu]

Such a good news! Thank you, Sennheiser! I don't really care if 32-bit recording is missing. But what about timecode functionality??

[@Hardik_P]

All good, well thought out German thing. Only one thing of concern, should have user replaceable battery like AAA or something to keep it running for ages like g3 or 416. Being environment friendly

[@yesimcindemir4912]

Bütün ürünlerinizi severek kullanıyoruz. Müşteri memnuniyeti önemseyen bir firma olduğunuz için teşekkür ederiz

[@BartekDziedzictv]

Wow Looks great!

[@BenCrossley]

Is it possible to remove and replace the rechargeable batteries in the transmitters and receiver? This is a design flaw present in all mic systems similar to this and I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about more. Rechargeables only have a certain amount of recharge cycles and built-in obsolescence sucks.

[@sennheiser]

Hi there, the battery of our Profile Wireless is not removable or replaceable.

[@DJMJM]

@@sennheiser Well that's not great unfortunately.....

[@jstample]

I’m sure they can be replaced if you’re comfortable working on electronics

[@cameracentretv]

Eat to get surprised these days with audio tech bravo

[@justinwyatt1618]

make a sony hot shoot adapter and you got me sold

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

That would actually be awesome.

[@jcfilms4433]

This, I cancelled my order because there is no indication that Sennheiser will do this. Hopefully they at least announce that it is in the works.

[@kingdom001_]

This is a very nice well thought out package but the lack of 32 bit float is a big mistake and will cost you sales.

[@elvis_chen]

It would be great with 32-bit recording support.

[@spinningrodfisherman]

100% spot on explanation. Most people have no idea about 32bit and the limitations of hardware. 32bit is so hyped up, people have been perfectly recording audio even in very dynamic situations for a long time without issues.

[@TradeshowThomas]

looking forward to this

[@quagmire321able]

Does the 3.5mm cable fit into the charging bar too? Hehe... I have a tendency of losing my audio cables

[@jmbaillard7015]

No Bluetooth connectivity ?? When you shoot ProRes on an iPhone, you need the usb-c port to plug in an external SSD 😞

[@MappleTV]

At least you can use an USB-C hub so you can plug both of the devices in. I’m using it, too

[@jmbaillard7015]

Which one are you using, ( should be small, and not dangling? )

[@Geethepancake]

The interview handle was really smart thinking!

[@thethunderheart8677]

Hi there. Please tell me does the 3.5mm jack work with other manufacturers' lavaliers or Sennheiser's mics only?

[@Quick-Tech-Tutorials]

Yes, you can use lavs from other manufacturers. I’ve used them very successfully with different brands. 👍

[@ramjeesaradi]

I wonder it has live monitoring for the microphone

[@mircogabriel1980]

There is a headphone output at the receiver for monitoring the mic signals

[@gisteproducciones]

Does the receiver record each mic in a different channel? (one in L and one in R, to keep separate audio sources on my camera)

[@Noname85-i4k]

Yes, if you select the ‚stereo mode‘ you can output one transmitter on the left and the other on the right channel so they are recorded separately on your camera.

[@Jaypher]

Oh this is really nice!

[@stivenbano5073]

I need to hear a demo of how these microphones sounds… but, well it’s senheisser, surely will sound spectacular!

[@Noname85-i4k]

0:13 the audio in this video is from that mic. It says here ;)

[@kmwong1786]

So, no 32-bit float, but is there timecode? What is the price and when is it available?

[@sennheiser]

Our Profile Wireless retails for $299 and is primarily designed for aspiring filmmakers, content creators and mobile journalists who mostly prefer a small and easy-to-use setup. Timecode is a great tool for professional film productions or large setups with multiple cameras and audio sources, but does require further expertise on the user-side. Nevertheless, the Profile Wireless works perfectly with multi-camera setups as audio-synchronization can easily be achieved through the leading editing-softwares without the need of timecode.

[@digitalemotionfilms]

@@sennheiserwhen will it be available ?

[@hiddeninsweden]

@@digitalemotionfilmsMid November

[@julienajarry]

This thing is dope!

[@florinG]

Very cool, thanks Sennheiser 👌

[@oinochoe]

this looks well thought out

[@maxie6990]

Amazing versatile product

[@digitalemotionfilms]

When is it available ?

[@sennheiser]

Our Profile Wireless is available for preorder now with your local retailer, and will start shipping in November.

[@rohitsonyalpha6966]

Quiet innovative design. Does it have auto-gain assistance function for newbie like me

[@Noname85-i4k]

It doesn’t say so … but it has a safety mode that outputs and internally records your audio at two different levels - that should help, right?!

[@alpha_6658]

wish that in the future there will be a sony mi-shoe or canon digital shoe adapter digitally directs input to cameras and out put 4 channels with 3, 4 is the -6dB or -12dB safety channel. this could be a killing features

[@HarnoorSingh-pt2vf]

Make best closedback and open back headphones. Make iems with multiple drivers and make bluetooth speakers

[@mediaflmcreation]

I want to test this out. before buying and compare this to my Fulaim X5. I already did a review on the UHF system, this is interesting

[@hbp_]

User replaceable batteries would have been nice. Otherwise the product looks very promising. Unfortunately, mine arrived with dead battery on the receiver :(

[@anhon9516]

How come a new wireless mic product NO 32-bit float nowadays ??

[@GordonMoat]

Is it splashproof, and will it connect to a GoPro?

[@sennheiser]

While our Profile Wireless is compatible with GoPro, it is not splash or waterproof.

[@abyshines]

Attendance of all those missing the 32 bit float in 2024. 🤷‍♂

[@Paulsven]

The features etc that are missing from the Sennheiser set. I’m sure will be addressed when you roll out a pro version. As one writer said 32 floating bit and also would be nice to have the ability to plug into an XLR port on a professional camera.

[@TransplantHelper]

Great concept but man it’s huge and bulky in the charging bar.

[@nickdual]

Nice sound!

[@arnolttbromanskie9733]

It’s about time 👍but I miss float 32 bit recording 🤔

[@EugenBrinzoiu]

I’m ready to preorder but I have only one question: where is it made? Thank you

[@signaturaphotography]

would have been all in if the receiver wasnt touch screen only

[@jonathanhomervargas]

interesante

[@djdoubledown]

Oh my 😮

[@LoneTomato]

Please tell me there’s an option to always be automatically recording backup audio, so far I’ve only seen a manual toggle or auto record when dropped signal. I don’t want to have to manually remember to start backup recording and want the option for the better quality backup audio, please tell me there is an option for permanently toggling backup audio recording on automatically. Legit the only reason I’m considering not buying this

[@sennheiser]

Our Profile Wireless includes "Safety Channel Mode" which outputs backup audio at a lower volume to help protect against clipping and "Backup Recording Mode" to automatically turn on internal recording if the wireless signal becomes weak.

[@markelovpt]

and still the guy struggles to work on the menu, why cant we have a rocker/joystick style buttons. no 32 bit is also a bummer.

[@DJMJM]

To be honest, I do agree with you that mechanical buttons is the best thing to go for. But the downside will be that those mechanical buttons will wear down over the next 5-10 years, so those buttons can easily get stuck or no longer function anymore if that ever happens. As for 32 bit, unless you have really good sonic hearing, 24 bit and 32 bit recordings are no different from those who hear 320kbps MP3 or M4A files if you ask me.

[@markelovpt]

​@@DJMJM same can happens to touch screen, but built in battery will die sooner anyway lol ... 32-bit is not for "sonic hearing" but managing clipping in fast paced environment. yes 24 bit is enough for 90% but rode pro saved my skin quite a few times. they could've made PRO version with 32 bit, timecode sync and no logos or branding on equipment and i happily would pay 50-70 more

[@DJMJM]

@@markelovpt Yeah, there's not really a good system to use in terms of longevity, which is why warranties should last at least 5 years so this way if the product breaks at some point in the future, it can be replaced or repaired. I see....Again, I don't use 32-Bit audio since I sure 24 bit, and often times I try to have the recordings at least below the -5/-10db line since those are the perfect audio qualities to go with. As for noises, in my honest opinion, -15db will get you pretty far in terms of audio and such. I don't know, in my opinion Sennheiser would have to do a software update with the device, much like how Magewell updated the HDMI 4k Plus USB capture device to allow 3840x2160p quality with 60fps compared to having it released as 30fps prior. For me it doesn't really matter since most of my audio recordings are done in 24-bit. No need for 32-bit in my opinion. I do think this is what Sennheiser went for and probably couldn't fit the 32-bit software or option into the menu since it's such a tiny touch screen. It's this reason why I go for separate audio recorders and not really for these ones if you ask me.

[@Kori_INJN]

No 32bit float in 2024?

[@tokekkk]

Wireless is not wireless when you need to plug the 3.5mm cables. Please make hotshoe connection, Sennheiser!

[@Marcin-lp4qi]

Do you know, that now editors have to erease logos from those mics? Only Hollyland is good - there are black stickers and logo is gone. The worst is Rode with reflections for stupid youtubers.

[@DJMJM]

Well yeah because the label is not only copyrighted, but trademarked as well. The best thing to do I would say is to use some sort of fine brush or spray paint the item with the wind screen on the logo in order to do so.....Most likely if you end up having that brand in your marketing, you're going to be paying from $50,000 to nearly $5,000,000+ every time you use the logo in your own company....Not cheap if you ask me....But seriously, this is the reason why I don't like copyright or the length of copyright in general.

[@DarylBaugh]

time to return my neewer

[@VictorMBG17]

No 32 bit float in a wireless mic in 2024 is just a great NO. When I saw the announcement I was hyped cause I love Sennheiser products but unfortunately this is s great mistake.

[@jonathanbergqvist4897]

Have you tried 24 bit? 32 is a bit of a gimmick I believe.

[@VictorMBG17]

@jonathanbergqvist4897 I guess you haven't try it out yet

[@DJMJM]

@@VictorMBG17 I have tried 32 bit recordings, and sadly, I cannot hear a difference between 32 bit and 24 bit. In my opinion, even when doing adobe audition recordings, you're basically taking up just as much storage in your hard drive or solid state drives with 32 bit as you would with 24 bit. Personally, 24 bit stuff for me is the way to go, and so long as you record it in FLAC or WAV, there really isn't much of a difference you can use until you upgrade to a much more professional audio recording like a separate bulky audio recorder, the olympus or sony portable handheld audio recorders, or a $1,000+ audio or video equipment that would suit your needs at best. That's like saying you want to record the hertz at 96,000 compared to recording hertz at 48,000....Really no difference if you ask me.

[@KendrickCreates]

Just gain stage properly
