In this week’s episode we get to know Sennheiser’s new EW-DP wireless system. This prosumer UHF system is built for camera-top use to simplify and streamline filmmaking and content creation workflows. System-wide Bluetooth integration and app control make setting up and monitoring during recording easy. In this video we test out the EW-DP’s sound, range, and reliability, and show you how to effectively incorporate it into your workflow. Let’s take a closer look!
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. school.learnlightandsound.com
