Product Description

The XSW-D VOCAL SET provides a straightforward digital wireless solution for singers, speakers, and presenters who need a handheld wireless microphone with professional XLR connectivity to a mixer or PA system. The handheld transmitter integrates the wireless electronics and microphone capsule in a standard handheld form factor, with the XSW-D receiver providing an XLR balanced output suitable for connection to any professional mixer or PA system with standard XLR microphone inputs. The 2.4 GHz digital wireless link delivers uncompressed audio transmission with low latency for live performance, without the analog noise floor or compression artifacts of consumer wireless systems. License-free 2.4 GHz operation and automatic channel management eliminate frequency coordination, licensing requirements, and the RF scanning associated with UHF wireless setup. USB-rechargeable batteries on both transmitter and receiver provide approximately 5 hours of operation per charge. The XLR output receiver connects directly to any standard mixer channel without adapters. The XSW-D VOCAL SET is appropriate for small venues, club performances, houses of worship, and corporate event stages where a complete digital wireless vocal solution with professional mixer connectivity is required without the cost or complexity of a UHF professional system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What microphone capsule is in the handheld transmitter?

The XSW-D VOCAL SET handheld transmitter uses an integrated dynamic capsule designed for vocal reproduction in live sound applications. The capsule is integrated into the transmitter body and is not user-replaceable.

Does the XLR receiver require phantom power?

No. The XSW-D XLR receiver is USB-rechargeable and does not require phantom power from the mixer. It connects to a standard XLR microphone input on any mixer without special configuration.

How many XSW-D VOCAL SETs can operate simultaneously in the same location?

Multiple XSW-D systems can operate simultaneously with automatic channel management. The practical limit depends on the local 2.4 GHz RF environment, including nearby Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4 GHz devices.

Can this be used at the same time as XSW-D lavalier or instrument sets?

Yes. All XSW-D components operate on the same 2.4 GHz platform with automatic channel management, allowing vocal, lavalier, and instrument sets to be used simultaneously in the same location.

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.
