Dedicated to speech

SpeechLine Digital Wireless is made for the spoken word. Speech optimized Sennheiser microphone capsules and built-in equalizers with presets for female and male voices ensure optimal speech intelligibility in every situation.

No hardware interaction required

All Sennheiser SpeechLine Digital Wireless microphones are very easy to use. The presenter simply takes the microphone out of the charging station and is immediately ready to go. The end user does not need to have access to the receiver. Avoid classic user errors by installing the receiver in a not publicly accessible location. For the Rack Receiver, for example, this would be a lockable IT or AV rack. The Multi-Channel Receiver can be mounted easily and unobtrusively on the wall or ceiling.
