- The ME 2-II lavalier microphone clips to your talent's 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 a pocket or discreetly attached to the waist with the included belt clip.
- The equally discreet and lightweight receiver mounts to your camera shoemount with the supplied adapter. Connect its 3.5mm output to the 3.5mm audio input of your camera via the included coiled cable.
- You're ready to turn it on and get started, it's that easy.
- 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.
- 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 ME 2-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.
- 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, providing reliable transmission at a distance up to 250' line of sight.
- For optimal performance, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.
- The functionality of this XSW-D PORTABLE 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 TX plug-on transmitter allows you to connect a dynamic handheld microphone for man-on-the-street-style interviews, or a self-powered shotgun mic for booming.
- For clearer speech in noisy environments, you can substitute the included lav mic with a Sennheiser-compatible headset mic.
- 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 gives you plenty of shooting time
- Conveniently recharge batteries via USB while in operation or during breaks throughout the day
- Up to five systems can be operated simultaneously in the same environment
- Low 3.9 ms latency with aptX Live codec specifically designed to maximize digital wireless microphone performance
- 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)
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. What XLR microphone would you recommend to work with this kit?
A: Any dynamic microphone will work. If you want to do interviews look for an omni directional mic such as Item# SEENG18RL, or POHDR10. If you want it for singing, look at the SHSM58CN. It will also worj with XLR shotgun mics that are battery operated, such as the SEMKE600 or the RONTG2
Q: 2. Can the rechargeable battery be replaced by the user?
A: No it cannot. Now if your reason for wanting to do so is to make sure you always have enough battery for a long gig, you can use the charging port to power the system while in use, either through a power supply or through a power-bank which is commonly used for Cell phones and etc.
Q: 3. Can I use this system in Europe and Israel / Jordan?
A: This is a digital wireless system and can be used internationally.
Q: 4. Why does the ENG set come with an additional transmitter, if it can't be synced to the one receiver that comes in set?
A: It comes with a plug-on transmitter for use with handheld XLR connection microphones and it comes with a lavalier transmitter for use with a lavalier microphone that is included. Both transmitters come pre-paired to work with the receiver. You can use one transmitter with the receiver at a time and when ready to use the other, simply power it down and turn on the 2nd transmitter.
Q: 5. This is a two-part question first question, can I mix receivers with the transmitter such as can I use XLR receivers to a lapel transmitter. And question number two I use a zoom recorder can the receivers be used on the h4n digital recorders and use the sound in post digital recorders
A: This system only comes with one receiver (SEWXSDRMJ), the other two are transmitters and you can only use one at the time with the receiver. The receiver always has to connect into the camera/recorder since it has a output and the transmitters are only design to intake a signal since they have a input. Yes the receiver can connect to the zoom recorder, you might want to buy the cable or the adapter in the links bellow to connect into the XLR input on the zoom recorder. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/233893-REG/Sennheiser_CL100_CL_100_1_8_M_Mini_to.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/387850-REG/Rode_VXLR_VXLR_Mono_Mini_Jack.html?sts=pi&pim=Y
Q: 6. can i use the transmitter connected to a mixer with 3.5mm jack and receive audio into receiver then to dslr directly?
A: Yes you can. NOTE: The input on the transmitter is Mic Level, so make sure that the output on your mixer is set to Mic level otherwise your audio may clip or sound distorted.
Q: 7. Could the Sennheiser CL 100 work also as an adapter?
A: Most likely the wiring scheme is the same so it should work just fine. Alternatively, you may want to consider an adapter such as Item# KOAXMMF
Q: 8. Could I use these for PA (public address) purposes? Will the delay 19millesecond affect what the audience hears from the room speakers?
A: You could but you would be better off using a proper PA. The lav is omni directional which is not well suited for public speaking. You will pick up a lot of things you don't want.
Q: 9. can i use this directly from a mixer with 3.5mm jack output and send it to receiver then to dslr? i dont want to use lav mics but use this system in my mixer as wireless transmitting audio.
A: Yes you can. NOTE: The input on the transmitter is Mic Level so make sure that the output on your mixer is set to line level otherwise your audio may clip or sound distorted.
Q: 10. Does this transmit/receive a stereo signal?
A: Hi Yong - the XS Wireless Digital system transmits a single channel of mono audio. The included 3.5mm connector has a "stereo" tip so that you will get the same mono signal on both your left and right inputs on your camera via your 3.5mm stereo input.
