Sennheiser EW-D ME2 SET (Y1-3) Digital Wireless Lavalier System

The Sennheiser EW-D ME2 SET Y1-3 (Article Number: 508709) is a professional, single-channel UHF digital wireless system. This complete package bundles a stationary rackmount receiver, a rugged bodypack transmitter, and the Sennheiser ME 2 omnidirectional miniature lavalier microphone.

Operating in the Y1-3 frequency band (1785.200 MHz to 1799.800 MHz), this system bypasses the crowded lower UHF television bands (470–608 MHz). Moving your wireless audio link into this upper-spectrum pocket provides an incredibly reliable, low-interference solution for houses of worship, corporate presenters, public speakers, and broadcast applications.

Key System Performance and Integration Attributes

  • Equidistant Tuning Grid Precision: Borrowing technology from Sennheiser’s flagship Digital 6000/9000 lines, the EW-D platform completely eliminates intermodulation distortion. This permits an equidistant channel frequency layout spaced exactly 600 kHz apart, allowing you to stack multiple wireless channels directly next to each other without calculating complex intermodulation math.

  • 134 dB Ultra-Wide Dynamic Range: The bodypack transmitter features an expansive analog input dynamic scale. This completely removes the need for traditional transmitter sensitivity/gain adjustment menus; the hardware handles quiet whispers and intense presentation vocal dynamics simultaneously without clipping.

  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Smart Assist App: Sound crews can scan the local RF environment, name transmitters, assign channels, and monitor battery telemetry remotely using an iOS or Android smartphone via Bluetooth. It allows seamless sync pairing and remote muting overrides directly from your phone.

  • Speech-Optimized Omnidirectional Lavalier: The included ME 2 clip-on microphone features an omnidirectional pick-up pattern. This ensures consistent sound capture and high speech intelligibility, even if the speaker turns their head away from the capsule while presenting.

  • 1 x NT 12-5 CW Power Supply with universal regional wall adapters

  • 4 x Non-Slip Rubber Feet (For flat tabletop receiver deployment)

  • 2 x AA Alkaline Batteries

System Deployment and Hardware Interfacing Advice

Optimal Omnidirectional Placement: Because the ME 2 features an omnidirectional capsule, it naturally picks up sound from all directions. For clear speech capture, clip the microphone centrally on clothing (such as a tie, lapel, or button seam), roughly 6 to 8 inches below the chin. Avoid placing it beneath heavy clothing layers or too close to jewelry, which can generate friction noise against the microphone housing.

Mind the Y-Band Antenna Physics: Because the 1.7 GHz frequency band uses short radio wavelengths, maintaining a clear line-of-sight between the receiver's antennas and the performer is critical. Avoid hiding the receiver inside metal equipment cabinets. If you are mounting the receiver inside a deep metal audio rack, use the included GA 3 Rackmount Kit extension cables to mount the antennas cleanly onto the front faceplate for optimal line-of-sight reception.
