Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems are compatible with the HSP 4-EW?
The "EW" version of this microphone is specifically designed for Sennheiser's Evolution Wireless series. It features a locking 3.5mm jack that natively connects to EW bodypack transmitters.
Can I adjust the microphone boom to either side of my face?
Yes. The HSP 4-EW features a highly adaptable, twist-proof 2.0 mm microphone boom that can be attached to either the left or right side of the neckband based on your personal preference or performance needs.
How does a cardioid capsule benefit vocal performance on loud stages?
The cardioid pick-up pattern is highly directional, meaning it captures sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting audio coming from the sides and back. This drastically reduces background noise and stage bleed, giving you exceptional resistance to feedback.
What does "modular design" mean for this neckband mic?
The modular construction allows you to easily interchange, combine, or replace specific components of the microphone, including the connection cable, microphone boom, and mounting clips. This significantly extends the product's lifespan and makes servicing easy.
