Product Overview
The Sennheiser SKM 865-XSW-A is the standalone handheld wireless transmitter for the XSW platform featuring the e865 condenser supercardioid capsule — the highest-specification handheld transmitter in the XSW-A range. 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. The e865 supercardioid condenser capsule provides extended frequency response, high sensitivity, and a tight pickup pattern suited to discerning vocalists and applications where condenser microphone audio quality is required in a wireless handheld format.
Product Description
The SKM 865-XSW-A delivers the condenser microphone vocal quality of Sennheiser's e865 capsule in a wireless handheld transmitter compatible with both XSW 1 and XSW 2 receivers. This makes it the correct choice for lead vocalists, solo performers, and high-end presentation systems where the additional sensitivity, frequency extension, and natural transparency of a condenser capsule are priorities over the robustness of a dynamic capsule. The e865's supercardioid polar pattern provides tighter off-axis rejection than a standard cardioid, further reducing ambient stage noise and monitor bleed from the sides and rear of the microphone — an advantage in louder stage environments where feedback control is a concern despite the condenser's higher sensitivity. Infrared sync allows one-press frequency pairing with the paired receiver. The transmitter body has a front-panel display showing battery level and operating status. Standard AA battery operation provides portable, cable-free wireless performance. The SKM 865-XSW-A is compatible with both EM-XSW 1-A and EM-XSW 2-A receivers; pairing it with the EM-XSW 2-A true diversity receiver provides the full combination of condenser audio quality and professional RF reliability for demanding live performance and installation applications.
