Product Information

Full details

The Sennheiser Profile Wireless 1-Channel Set is designed for content creators, videographers, and journalists who require reliable, high-quality wireless audio capture. Its key benefit is the advanced 2.4 GHz transmission with 32-bit float recording, offering extreme dynamic range and robust signal recovery, even if the signal clips. A potential caveat is the single-channel limitation for more complex multi-mic setups. This set includes a pre-paired clip-on microphone, safety channel mode, backup recording capabilities, and versatile USB-C or Lightning outputs for immediate connectivity.

FAQs

How long does the battery last?

The battery life typically lasts up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the internal recording function extending operational time further when used with backup recording.

Can I use two microphones with this system?

No, the Profile Wireless 1-Channel Set is designed for a single wireless microphone input.

What is the range of the wireless connection?

The wireless range is typically up to 100 meters (330 feet) line-of-sight, but this can be affected by environmental factors and obstructions.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are typically managed through Sennheiser's software, which can be downloaded from their official website. Connect the receiver to your computer via USB-C to perform updates.

What is the benefit of 32-bit float recording?

32-bit float recording captures a massive dynamic range, meaning you can recover audio that would normally be clipped (too loud) or too quiet without significant loss of quality or introduction of noise during post-production editing.

Can I monitor the audio while recording?

Yes, you can monitor the audio by connecting headphones to your recording device (smartphone, camera, computer) or if the receiver has a dedicated headphone output, depending on the specific model configuration.

Troubleshooting

No audio detected

Ensure the transmitter and receiver are powered on and paired. Check that the correct cable is securely connected to your recording device and that the input source is set to the Profile Wireless receiver in your device's audio settings.

Audio is distorted or clipping

Lower the gain setting on the transmitter or move the microphone further from the sound source. The 32-bit float recording will help recover slightly clipped audio in post-production, but it's best to avoid clipping during capture.

Wireless connection is unstable or drops

Ensure there are no major obstructions between the transmitter and receiver. Reduce interference from other wireless devices if possible. Check battery levels on both units.

Device not recognized by computer/smartphone

Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure you are using the correct cable (USB-C or Lightning) for your device. Restart your computer or smartphone.
