• Sennheiser wireless 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.
• Analog wireless systems need to squash your signal to operate in the FM band, resulting in a thin sound with a high noise floor. The XSW-D uses digital technology to preserve the dynamic range of your signal and deliver a crisp, clean, guitar sound with all the nuances of your performance.
• On stage, timing is critical, and the XSW-D uses the aptX Live codec to deliver an impressively low latency of 3.9ms, so you don't experience any lag when playing—keeping you on point and in the groove.

• Nothing ruins a take like hearing the weather report coming through your amp. 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.

• The functionality of this XSW-D INSTRUMENT BASE SET can easily be expanded by adding XSW-D Series transmitters and receivers, as your needs evolve.
• With this set, adding the XSW-D pedalboard receiver allows you to take your performance to the next level.
• If your band wants to go wireless, up to five musicians can each use an XSW-D system on the same stage.

• 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 start recording whether you're working at home or anywhere in the world.

• Eco-friendly USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries—1-hour charging to reach 50% of battery time 
• 5-hour total battery life means you don't have to recharge your system mid-show
• Conveniently recharge batteries via USB while in operation or during breaks throughout the day
• Mute from either transmitter or receiver
• Multi-pairing lets you quickly switch between multiple transmitters linked to one receiver (note that only one transmitter can broadcast to one receiver at a time)

Q: 7. Can this be used to replace xlr cable from mixer to speakers? Would the quality of the signal be similar to cable?

A: While the quality is Sennheiser quality and should be as good, bear in mind this system only allows for the transmitter to broadcast the signal to one receiver. Which means if you have more than one speaker, you’ll need a separate wireless set for each speaker.
