Sennheiser XSW-D LAVALIER SET Lavalier set - 508485

Product Overview

The Sennheiser XSW-D LAVALIER SET is a compact digital wireless lavalier set for presenters, instructors, and broadcast talent who need discreet clip-on microphone wireless without UHF frequency coordination or licensing. The set operates on license-free 2.4 GHz digital wireless and includes a bodypack transmitter, a receiver with 3.5 mm TRS output, and an ME 2-II omnidirectional electret condenser lavalier microphone. USB charging and automatic channel selection make this set appropriate for mobile and temporary presentation setups where fast deployment is required.

Product Description

The XSW-D LAVALIER SET provides a complete digital wireless lavalier solution for corporate presentations, educational environments, and broadcast production where the simplicity of plug-and-play 2.4 GHz operation is preferred over the greater setup complexity of UHF wireless systems. The ME 2-II omnidirectional lavalier clips to the presenter's lapel or collar and captures natural speech from all directions, tolerant of head movement and placement variation. The bodypack transmitter accepts the ME 2-II via 3.5 mm locking connector and transmits the audio signal digitally over the 2.4 GHz link to the receiver. The receiver outputs via 3.5 mm TRS for connection to cameras, portable recorders, or presentation audio systems. The 2.4 GHz digital link delivers uncompressed audio with low latency, providing clean speech capture without the analog noise floor of inexpensive wireless systems. License-free operation and automatic channel management eliminate the need for RF scanning or frequency coordination, enabling setup in seconds rather than minutes. USB-rechargeable batteries on both transmitter and receiver are charged via the included USB cable. The XSW-D LAVALIER SET is appropriate for presenters who also use cameras or portable recorders without dedicated XLR inputs, and for environments where UHF wireless frequency availability is limited or uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What output does the receiver use?

The receiver outputs via 3.5 mm TRS, suitable for camera inputs, portable audio recorders, and consumer or prosumer presentation systems. For XLR connection to professional mixers, the XSW-D XLR BASE SET or XLR MALE RX component provides XLR output.

Can the ME 2-II lavalier be replaced with a different microphone?

The bodypack transmitter accepts any compatible 3.5 mm locking miniature connector microphone, including the ME 3-II headworn microphone, allowing the transmitter to be reconfigured for headworn use if needed.

How many XSW-D systems can operate simultaneously?

Multiple XSW-D systems can operate simultaneously in the same location, with the automatic channel management handling frequency allocation. The practical limit depends on the local 2.4 GHz RF environment and the number of Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4 GHz devices present.

Does the XSW-D work internationally without licensing?

The 2.4 GHz band is license-free in most countries worldwide. Verify local regulations for the specific country of use.

What is the wireless range of the XSW-D?

Sennheiser specifies the XSW-D range at up to 75 meters (approximately 250 feet) in open-air conditions. Practical range in indoor environments with walls, reflections, and RF interference will be shorter.
