Sennheiser Profile Wireless 2-channel Microphone System

Tailor-made for content creators and videographers, Sennheiser’s Profile Wireless is an all-in-one microphone system with a 2-channel 2.4GHz receiver and two clip-on mic transmitters, along with a charging bar, carrying pouch, and accessories. The charging bar is the nexus of the system; it not only houses all the other components, but it also doubles as a handheld interview microphone. The receiver enables you to record two sources simultaneously; meanwhile, the two clip-on mic transmitters also boast internal recording for added assurance. The clip-on mic transmitters come pre-paired, so they connect to the receiver automatically — no configuration required — and they include locking 3.5mm TRS connectors for use with optional Sennheiser lavalier mics. Sennheiser’s all-inclusive Profile Wireless system employs a long-lasting battery for up to seven hours of runtime, and it includes mounting clips and magnets, windscreens, a cold-shoe mounting adapter, USB-C and Lightning connectors, and threaded mounting sockets. Media creators searching for an effective grab-and-go recording solution will be hard-pressed to surpass Profile Wireless from Sennheiser.

Unparalleled recording flexibility

After putting the Profile Wireless system through its paces here at Musiekwereld, the first thing we noticed is how eminently flexible it is. Case in point: the charging bar acts as a multifunction charging case and doubles as a handheld interview microphone, which can then be paired with a windscreen or cold-shoe mounting adapter for even more versatility. The 2-channel 2.4GHz receiver allows you to record two sources simultaneously, and you can connect it directly to your camera, computer, or smartphone. The two clip-on mic transmitters not only feed audio to the receiver, but they also boast 16GB of built-in memory for up to 30 hours of internal recording that you can start and stop locally from the transmitter, remotely from the receiver, or automatically via Backup Recording Mode if your wireless signal becomes weak. The clip-on transmitters attach effortlessly to clothing using the included clips and magnets, plus they sport locking 3.5mm TRS connectors to accommodate optional Sennheiser lavalier microphones.

Outstanding sound quality

Like all Sennheiser products, Profile Wireless delivers industry-leading sound. For starters, the system records in an uncompressed, 24-bit/48kHz format with a generous 60Hz–20kHz frequency response and negligible latency. You also get a Safety Channel Mode that outputs backup audio at a lower gain level to safeguard against clipping. The included windscreens prevent breath and wind noises from spoiling your recording while also protecting against plosives when speakers get too close to the mic. You’ll find the system’s dedicated headphone output valuable, as it allows you to monitor your audio and fix issues before they affect your recording.

Generous bundle of accessories

Sennheiser intended Profile Wireless to be an all-in-one solution, and nothing demonstrates this more clearly than its generous cache of included accessories. For starters, you get USB-C, Lightning, and cold-shoe adapters, enabling you to use your system with the gamut of smartphones and cameras. A 3.5mm TS coiled cable allows you to connect the output of the system to a wide range of input devices. You get dedicated windscreens for each clip-on mic transmitter, as well as one designed specifically for the charging bar when you’re using it as a handheld interview microphone. You also get a USB-C to USB-C cable and a convenient carrying pouch.
