The evolution wireless G2 series is equipped with HDX, the Sennheiser noise reduction system that reduces RF interference. It increases the
HDX is a wideband compander system which compresses the audio signal in the transmitter in a 2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise floor of the RF link. A 110 dB dynamic range signal is thus transmitted with an effective dynamic range of only 55 dB, which is above the 60 dB noise floor of the RF link. In the receiver the signal is expanded in an identical and opposite way in a 1:2 ratio to restore the original signal, at the same time reducing the RF noise to below the noise floor of the receiver.
HDX has been specially developed for high quality radiomicrophone systems.
Note:
Only transmitters and receivers that are equipped with HDX can work correctly with each other. If non HDX equipment was mixed with HDX, the dynamic range would be drastically reduced and the transmission would sound bluntandflat.HDX is permanently active andcannot be switchedoff.
Wireless transmission systems
With the ew 300 G2 series, Sennheiser puts an end to cable tangles and enables complete freedom of movement. The systems operate exclusively in the UHF band. UHF transmission is extremely reliable and is far less prone to interference than the overcrowded VHF band – harmonics from mains units, fluorescent tubes, refrigerators, computers, etc. are virtually eliminated. Also indoor propagation of UHF radio waves is better than VHF so that the RF power can be kept low – this is also an advantage when using
