Sennheiser XSW 1-835 Dual Wireless Dual Handheld Microphone System- A Range - 508270

Product Overview

The Sennheiser XSW 1-835 Dual is a plug-and-play dual-handheld wireless microphone system built for small to medium venues, houses of worship, schools, and live events. It includes two handheld transmitters fitted with the proven 835 dynamic cardioid capsule — a stage-reliable workhorse known for its warm, smooth response and strong feedback rejection. A single XSW 1 receiver handles both channels simultaneously, with built-in diversity antennas and a clean icon-based display that keeps operation intuitive for any operator. Up to 10 systems can run simultaneously in the same space, making this dual kit a scalable solution for panel discussions, comedy nights, and multi-presenter events.

Product Description

Getting two wireless handheld microphones on stage quickly and reliably has never been this straightforward. The XSW 1-835 Dual ships ready to perform: power on the receiver, press the scan button, and it automatically finds a clean frequency and syncs both transmitters with a single button press. No RF expertise required. The 835 dynamic cardioid capsules at the heart of each transmitter deliver the kind of performance that live sound engineers trust — a warm low-mid character, a presence peak that cuts through a mix, and excellent rejection of stage wash and monitor bleed.

The XSW 1 receiver keeps its footprint tidy with internal diversity antennas, removing the need for bulky external antenna setups in straightforward applications. Intuitive icon-based indicators show RF signal strength, audio level, and battery status at a glance, so FOH operators and A/V technicians can monitor system health without squinting at dense menus. The A Range frequency band (548–572 MHz) is suited for use in the United States, Canada, and other regions where this band is clear — always verify local RF regulations before deployment.

With support for up to 10 simultaneous systems in the same environment, the XSW 1-835 Dual grows with your event. Whether you are running a two-mic talk show format or expanding to a multi-system panel, Sennheiser's XS Wireless 1 platform delivers dependable German engineering at an accessible price point. The all-metal transmitter bodies feel substantial in a performer's hand while remaining light enough for extended use. Each AA-battery-powered transmitter offers practical runtime for full-day events, and the tactile mute switch gives performers confidence when stepping off-mic between segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this system include two transmitters and one receiver?

Yes. The XSW 1-835 Dual ships with two 835-S handheld transmitters and one dual-channel XSW 1 receiver, ready to operate as a complete two-microphone wireless system.

Q: How many of these systems can I run simultaneously in the same venue?

Up to 10 XSW 1 systems can operate simultaneously in the same RF environment. The 12 preset channels and AutoScan frequency selection help keep systems interference-free.

Q: What frequency band is the A Range, and is it legal in my region?

The A Range operates between 548–572 MHz. This band is clear for wireless microphone use in many regions including the United States, but you should always verify current local RF regulations and license requirements before operating.

Q: Can I replace the 835 capsule with a different Sennheiser capsule?

The XSW 1-835 Dual transmitters use the 835 capsule head. While the transmitter body shares visual similarities with some evolution series handhelds, capsule interchangeability is not guaranteed across all Sennheiser lines — consult Sennheiser documentation or contact us at Creation Networks for compatibility guidance.

Q: What type of batteries do the transmitters use?

Each handheld transmitter requires 2x AA alkaline batteries. Standard alkaline AAs are widely available and easy to swap during set breaks, making this system practical for events without dedicated tech support.

Q: Does the receiver need external antennas?

No. The XSW 1 receiver features internal built-in diversity antennas, keeping the install clean and eliminating the need for external antenna cables or distribution systems in typical small-to-medium venue applications.

Q: Is this system suitable for a beginner or first-time wireless user?

Absolutely. The XSW 1-835 Dual is designed for ease of use: one-button frequency scanning, icon-based status display, and automatic transmitter sync mean you can be operational in minutes without RF expertise.

Q: Can I use this system for instruments as well as vocals?

The 835 capsule is optimized for vocal use. For instrument applications, Sennheiser offers other XSW 1 configurations with instrument-specific connections. Contact Creation Networks to find the right system for your application.
