J5 Productions, a Singapore-based technical production and media equipment rental company, is setting new standards in live event execution with the integration of Sennheiser’s EWDX digital wireless systems. Founded in 2010 by Justin Tan, the company has evolved from a one-man operation to a team capable of handling mid to large-scale MICE events and arts festivals.
Central to J5 Productions’ success is its partnership with Sennheiser, which has bolstered its wireless inventory with the addition of 24 channels of EWDX in late 2023, followed by 16 more in 2024. “It’s an extremely versatile digital all-rounder that performs equally well in conference and performance settings,” said Justin Tan, Founder and Managing Director of J5 Productions.
The EWDX system’s intuitive design, including features like an e-ink display and Bluetooth syncing, has proven invaluable. The e-ink display retains information even when powered off, preventing confusion during large conferences. Additionally, the Smart Assist app allows technicians to control the system remotely, enhancing workflow efficiency.
J5 Productions has successfully deployed the EWDX system at various events, including a large-scale conference with eight stages and over 100 microphone channels. The system’s Link Density Mode and equidistant channel spacing simplify frequency coordination, crucial in environments with multiple AV vendors.
The use of rechargeable batteries in the EWDX system aligns with J5 Productions’ commitment to sustainability, significantly reducing battery waste. Justin Tan emphasised the importance of Sennheiser’s customer service, noting their responsiveness and support as key to their ongoing partnership.
