Product Overview

The Sennheiser SKM 825-XSW-A is the standalone handheld wireless transmitter for the XSW 1 and XSW 2 platforms, featuring the e825 dynamic cardioid capsule. Sold individually for system expansion, custom builds, or transmitter replacement, it operates in the A frequency range (548–572 MHz) and pairs with any EM-XSW 1-A or EM-XSW 2-A receiver via infrared sync. The e825 cardioid dynamic capsule provides clear vocal reproduction with natural feedback rejection suited to both speech and singing in live performance applications.

Product Description

The SKM 825-XSW-A gives integrators and performers access to the handheld transmitter component of the XSW vocal set lineup as a standalone unit — useful for adding a handheld vocal channel to an existing XSW installation without purchasing a complete set, replacing a transmitter, or building a custom wireless vocal configuration with a separately sourced receiver. The e825 dynamic cardioid capsule delivers consistent directional vocal pickup with a natural character and reliable feedback rejection on live stages, making it appropriate for both speech-only and amplified singing applications. The transmitter body is sized for standard handheld microphone use and has a front-panel display showing battery level and operating status. Infrared sync programs the transmitter to the receiver's selected frequency in a single press, eliminating manual RF entry during setup. Battery-powered operation uses standard AA batteries. The SKM 825-XSW-A is compatible with both the EM-XSW 1-A antenna-switching receiver and the EM-XSW 2-A true diversity receiver in the A frequency range, making it usable across both XSW platform tiers.
