Sennheiser has announced an app for remote control of its evolution wireless D1 radio microphone systems.
The WSR app converts iPad and iPhone into a remote control for digital D1 systems, assisting in the configuration, management and monitoring of radio links. The app automatically recognises whether D1 microphone systems have up-to-date firmware on board – and offers an update via the internet if required. Via the app, users can conveniently adjust the settings of individual units or entire groups, controlling audio effects, network settings and output signals on an iPhone or an iPad.
The WSR app will also turn an iOS device into a signal tester – when walking the stage with the device and the D1 transmitter, the transmission quality of the radio link is displayed in real time.
During a gig, the WSR app tracks battery status, sound levels and signal strength. To make monitoring easier, the iPad version allows you to include user photos for identification of the systems, and to arrange the positions of the systems on screen to correspond to the band members’ positions on stage.
‘Whether setting up wireless systems or monitoring them during use – all it takes is a few simple flicks of the finger to change the settings of one device or entire groups,’ says Martin Fischer, Product Manager for Sennheiser’s Live Performance & Music segment.
The WSR app is available from the Apple App Store now.
