One-touch ease-of-use wireless audio set that utilizes a digital transmission to seamlessly link audio sources with the Sennheiser XSW-D Lavalier Set. Equipped with an ME2-II lavalier microphone, this elegant solution makes wireless presentations easier than ever before while maintaining a reliable connection.
Lose the cables, keep the connection
Essentially a cable replacement, XS Wireless Digital uses a 2.4 GHz transmission to create a wireless peer-to-peer connection. Simply plug the included ME 2-ii lavalier into the transmitter and plug the receiver into your mixer or active PA speaker. As soon as you see the green light, you’re good to go. For presenters and public speakers alike, there is no easier way to captivate your audience while having the ability to roam free.
As easy as it gets
Each XS Wireless Digital transmitter and receiver have only one button. Press to power up and link simultaneously, click once to mute, and hold to power down. What’s more, they each feature a single LED that indicates when your connection is secure or when it’s time to charge the battery. There are no menus to fuss with or settings to worry about. It’s almost as easy as plugging in a cable, minus the cable part.
Digital for worldwide operation
XS Wireless Digital uses the same 2.4 GHz frequency as WiFi allowing for license free operation worldwide. There is no need to scan for available frequencies as the system automatically does it for you. This means you can take XSW-D with you wherever you go without fear of static interference or dropouts. Just turn it on and start your presentation.
Unboxing the System
- The ME2-II lavalier microphone clips to your clothing and plugs into the locking 3.5mm input on the bodypack transmitter. The transmitter is designed to only transmit signal from a mic (not from a mixer or recorder).
- The exceptionally lightweight and compact transmitter can be easily concealed in your pocket or discreetly attached to your waist with the included belt clip.
- Plug the compact receiver directly into the XLR input of your audio mixer or PA, and you're ready to turn the system on. The receiver cannot be phantom powered by a mixer. It needs to be charged ahead of time or used while being charged via USB.
Plug In, Turn On: It Works
- The 1-button, 1-LED concept with single-button interface and status indicator effortlessly handles power and linking tasks for you.
- The receiver and transmitter are pre-paired at the factory so when you turn on the system, it works—without the need for any additional button pressing.
(For optimal results, use of the XSW-D is recommended in environments with limited Wi-Fi / 2.4 GHz traffic.)
Step Up to Sennheiser Sound Quality
- Sennheiser wireless mic systems are an industry standard, prized by professionals for their clarity and reliability. The XSW-D system allows first-time and budget-conscious users to get their hands on genuine Sennheiser sound quality without breaking the bank.
- The ever-popular ME2-II lavalier microphone delivers a natural sound, optimized for speech intelligibility. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that the sound remains consistent, even when the talent's head moves away from the mic.
Easy 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless
- Nothing ruins a take like hearing the weather report coming through your mic. Unlike traditional analog wireless systems, the XSW-D digital system operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, away from interruptions and dropouts caused by TV and radio channel interference.
- Thanks to Sennheiser's channel allocation and interference management technology, the system selects the best operating frequency and automatically switches to a clean channel to provide reliable transmission at a distance up to 250' line of sight.
Expand Your System as Your Needs Grow
- The functionality of this XSW-D LAVALIER SET can easily be expanded by adding XSW-D Series transmitters and receivers, as your needs evolve.
- With this set, adding the XSW-D XLR female plug-on transmitter allows you to connect a dynamic handheld microphone for situations when the mic needs to be shared between speakers or passed around in the audience.
- For clearer speech in noisy environments, you can substitute the included lav mic with a Sennheiser-compatible headset mic.
License-Free Operation Worldwide
- Because the XSW-D system operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, you don't have to worry about local licensing laws, frequency coordination, and other technical hassles.
- Simply let the system pick a channel for you, and you're ready to go—whether you're working at home or anywhere in the world.
