Sennheiser Update Adds Bluetooth Functionality to Compact Microphone System
Sennheiser has updated its all-in-one microphone system to connect directly with compatible smartphones.
The latest firmware update, v 5.0.0, adds Bluetooth functionality to the compact microphone system. This creates a minimalist recording setup where the clip-on mic can be paired directly with mobile phones, laptops or tablets that offer high-quality Bluetooth LE Audio or Bluetooth Classic.
“The free firmware update unlocks new possibilities, enabling creators to eliminate the receiver between the Profile Wireless clip-on mic and their mobile phone. This clears the smartphone connector for other usage and makes the set-up as compact as possible,” said Hendrik Millauer, product manager at Sennheiser.
The company said the clip-on mic can be fitted with an external lavalier mic, creating an unobtrusive miking solution.
The new firmware version, v 5.0.0, can be downloaded from the Profile Wireless product page, while the online manual has been updated with information on the Bluetooth mode.
