Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE LAVALIER SET Portable lavalier set - 508488

Product Overview

The Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE LAVALIER SET is a digital wireless lavalier set combining the compact XSW-D bodypack transmitter, portable 3.5 mm TRS receiver, and ME 2-II omnidirectional electret condenser lavalier microphone in a single package for portable and mobile audio applications. At $319, it delivers uncompressed 2.4 GHz digital wireless audio for camera operators, event videographers, and mobile presenters who need a complete clip-on wireless solution with camera-compatible output.

Product Description

The XSW-D PORTABLE LAVALIER SET differs from the PORTABLE INTERVIEW SET primarily in configuration focus: where the Interview Set is configured for field interview work with emphasis on compact deployment, the Portable Lavalier Set is the standard complete lavalier-plus-receiver configuration optimized for camera-mounted and portable presentation audio. The ME 2-II omnidirectional lavalier clips to the presenter's lapel or collar, capturing speech naturally from all directions with tolerance for head movement. The bodypack transmitter transmits the audio signal digitally via the 2.4 GHz link to the portable receiver, which outputs via 3.5 mm TRS for direct connection to camera audio inputs, portable recorders, and compact presentation audio systems. License-free 2.4 GHz operation and automatic channel selection eliminate frequency coordination and licensing requirements. USB-rechargeable batteries on both transmitter and receiver are charged via the included USB cable, with approximately 5 hours of runtime per charge. The PORTABLE LAVALIER SET is appropriate for corporate video, event documentation, classroom recording, and any mobile presentation scenario requiring a complete wireless lavalier solution with 3.5 mm camera-compatible output.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the PORTABLE LAVALIER SET and the LAVALIER SET?

The PORTABLE LAVALIER SET uses the portable receiver with 3.5 mm TRS output, oriented toward camera and mobile recorder connections. The LAVALIER SET also uses the 3.5 mm output receiver. Both include the ME 2-II lavalier. The PORTABLE BASE SET excludes the microphone for users who already have one. Check the specific receiver output and included accessories to confirm the correct set for your application.

Can I use the transmitter with a different microphone?

Yes. 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.

What is the wireless range?

Sennheiser specifies up to 75 meters (approximately 250 feet) in open-air conditions. Indoor range will be shorter due to walls, reflections, and RF interference.

How long does the battery last?

Approximately 5 hours per full charge under typical operating conditions for both transmitter and receiver.
