Sennheiser EW-DX TS 5-PIN Digital Wireless Tablestand Transmitter with 5-Pin XLR Connector, No Mic

Product Overview

The Sennheiser EW-DX TS 5-PIN is a professional digital wireless tablestand transmitter designed for the EW-DX platform. Featuring a 5-pin XLR input connector, it is built to work with Sennheiser gooseneck and condenser microphones that use the same 5-pin XLR output standard. This transmitter delivers 24-bit digital audio with a 134 dB dynamic range, making it an ideal solution for corporate boardrooms, conference tables, podiums, and fixed-installation AV environments where cable-free operation is required. It pairs with EW-DX EM 2 and EM 4 DANTE receivers as part of a scalable, enterprise-grade wireless system.

Product Description

Designed for demanding fixed-installation environments, the EW-DX TS 5-PIN brings the full capability of the Sennheiser EW-DX digital wireless platform to conference and presentation settings. The 5-pin XLR input accommodates a wide range of Sennheiser gooseneck microphones, providing plug-in power for condenser capsules without requiring any external adapters. Digital UHF transmission operates on an equidistant tuning grid spanning 80 MHz of bandwidth, with 3,200 selectable frequencies that minimize intermodulation interference in dense multi-transmitter environments. The system supports up to 134 channels in standard equidistant mode and up to 269 channels in Link Density mode, making it suitable for large-scale conference installations with many simultaneous talkers. AES 256-bit encryption secures every transmission, an important consideration for boardrooms and government meeting rooms. The included BA 40 lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack provides up to 11 hours of continuous operation, and the transmitter is compatible with the CHG 2W inductive charging station for tool-free, in-situ charging when the unit is not in use. A programmable mute button with bicolor LED can be configured for momentary, push-to-talk, or push-to-mute operation, and mute status can be remotely overridden from the receiver or a paired mobile device. Bluetooth 5.1 LE enables wireless synchronization and real-time parameter control through the Sennheiser Smart Assist mobile app on both Android and iOS. The transmitter is backward-compatible with EW-D receivers, protecting previous platform investments. With 1.9 ms latency and full-range 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response, audio quality is transparent and natural across all voice and speech applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which receivers is the EW-DX TS 5-PIN compatible with?

The EW-DX TS 5-PIN is designed for use with the EW-DX EM 2 and EW-DX EM 4 DANTE receivers. It is also backward-compatible with EW-D series receivers, allowing integration into existing EW-D installations.

Q: What microphones can be connected to the 5-pin XLR input?

The transmitter accepts any Sennheiser gooseneck or condenser microphone equipped with a 5-pin XLR output connector, including the MZH 600 series gooseneck mics commonly used in conference and podium applications.

Q: Does the transmitter require any gain adjustment when switching between speakers?

No. The 134 dB dynamic range eliminates the need for gain adjustments. The transmitter handles both quiet and loud voices without clipping or excessive noise floor, making it ideal for multi-speaker conference environments.

Q: How many transmitters can operate simultaneously in the same room?

In equidistant tuning grid mode, up to 134 channels can operate simultaneously. In Link Density mode, this expands to 269 simultaneous channels, making the EW-DX platform suitable for large conference centers with many concurrent meeting rooms.

Q: Is the transmission encrypted?

Yes. All transmissions use AES 256-bit encryption, providing a high level of audio security for sensitive boardroom, legal, or government applications.

Q: How is the battery charged?

The included BA 40 lithium-ion battery pack supports inductive wireless charging via the Sennheiser CHG 2W Wireless Power Transmitter, which is available separately. The transmitter can be placed on the charging station without removing the battery.

Q: Can the mute button be controlled remotely?

Yes. The moderator or AV technician can lock out the mute button or override it remotely from the paired EW-DX receiver or through the Sennheiser Smart Assist mobile app, which is available for both Android and iOS.

Q: Is a microphone included with this product?

No. The EW-DX TS 5-PIN is sold as a transmitter only, without a microphone. A compatible Sennheiser 5-pin XLR gooseneck microphone must be purchased separately.
