In this review, we take another look at the Sennheiser EW-DP wireless microphone system. This time we take a close look at the SKP XLR plug-on transmitter. This is a fully digital UHF pro-super wireless microphone system and the SKP is a great addition to the system with its dual analogue to digital converters, wide dynamic range, and 32-bit float recording capabilities.
