Sennheiser XSW-D PEDALBOARD SET Pedalboard set - 508486

Product Overview

The Sennheiser XSW-D PEDALBOARD SET is a digital wireless instrument set designed specifically for guitarists and bassists who route their signal through a pedalboard. The set includes a plug-on instrument transmitter and a pedalboard-mount receiver with 6.3 mm jack output and a mounting bracket for direct attachment to standard pedalboards. Operating on license-free 2.4 GHz digital wireless, it provides uncompressed audio with low latency and USB charging — eliminating the cable from guitar to pedalboard without adding a separate bodypack to the signal chain.

Product Description

The XSW-D PEDALBOARD SET addresses a specific need in guitar and bass performance: removing the instrument cable between the guitar and pedalboard without disrupting the pedalboard signal chain or adding complexity to the stage setup. The plug-on transmitter connects directly to the guitar's output jack, and the receiver mounts on the pedalboard and feeds signal into the first pedal in the chain via 6.3 mm jack, exactly replacing the cable that would normally run from guitar to pedalboard input. The pedalboard receiver can also be powered from the pedalboard's power supply in addition to its internal USB-rechargeable battery, reducing the need to charge the receiver separately during use. The 2.4 GHz digital wireless link delivers uncompressed audio with low latency, preserving the tone of passive and active pickups without analog cable coloration. Automatic channel selection requires no RF scanning or frequency coordination. The XSW-D PEDALBOARD SET is the correct choice for guitarists and bassists who have an established pedalboard and want to go wireless without changing their existing signal chain or adding a separate receiver to the stage floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the pedalboard receiver be powered from my existing pedalboard power supply?

Yes. The XSW-D PEDALBOARD RX can accept power from a compatible pedalboard power supply in addition to its internal USB-rechargeable battery. This allows the receiver to run continuously without battery management during a performance, as long as it is connected to the pedalboard power supply.

Does the plug-on transmitter work with active pickups?

Yes. The XSW-D transmitter is compatible with both passive and active pickups. Input level can be adjusted to accommodate the higher output of active pickup systems.

What is the audio latency?

Sennheiser specifies the XSW-D system latency at approximately 3.4 ms, which is below the typical threshold of perception for live performers.

Can the pedalboard receiver be used standalone without mounting to a pedalboard?

Yes. The receiver functions as a standard XSW-D instrument receiver whether or not the mounting bracket is used. It can also be used with an optional pedalboard power adapter or on its internal battery charge.

How does the XSW-D handle 2.4 GHz interference from Wi-Fi?

The XSW-D uses automatic frequency management to select available channels within the 2.4 GHz band and avoid congested Wi-Fi channels. In environments with very high 2.4 GHz device density, some performance reduction is possible.
