The Wireless Rack Sennheiser Wireless Rack 1.jpg

The rack unit has eight wireless receivers

  • Eight channels in the rack go to the T8S.
  • T8S outputs left and right go to T4S Aux 5/6 panned left and right
  • T4S ToneMatch outputs go to L1 Pro32s.
  • All inputs are panned hard left or hard right. Nothing is panned up the middle.


Details of the wireless rig.

  • 4 x Sennheiser EW-D EM (single channel receivers = 4 channels)
  • 2 x Sennheiser EW-DX EM 2 (dual receivers = 4 channels)
  • Sennheiser EW-ASA (antenna splitter)
  • Front panel antenna kit with 1/2 wave dipole antennas
  • To be added: Another antenna splitter and external antennas, but for now, this is performing exceedingly well
