Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. What is the Range from mic to receiver
A: These systems work line of sight and base specs off of optimal conditions. Realistically, 100-150 feet would work even though most of the time they will claim around 300 feet.
Q: 2. Could this be paired to a EW100 G3 receiver?
A: The Sennheiser SKM 835-XSW-A Handheld Transmitter with e835 Capsule (A: 548 to 572 MHz) is not compatible with EW series receivers; it will only work with the XS series.
Q: 3. Could this be paired with a EW100 G3 receiver?
A: The Sennheiser SKM 835-XSW-A handheld transmitter with e835 capsule (A: 548 to 572 MHz) is not compatible with the EW100 G3 series receiver.
Q: 4. I got the dual person. It came with two XS Wireless packs. They both had the same frequency. How to chance one to a different frequency?
A: Changing frequency on the Sennheiser XSW 1 DUAL 2-Person Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System Kit can be initiated on the EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver. First, press the Up/Down button on the specific receiver module you would like to change and select "Scan". Press the "Set" button next to activate this function, where the receiver will select an open channel. Next, power on your correlating transmitter and press the "Sync" button until the receiver's display flashes "SYNC". Finally, press the "Sync" button on the receiver to transfer the selected frequency to the transmitter. This process is described in further detail on page 11 of the system manual linked here: https://bhpho.to/3qHYANh
Q: 5. Can I get this in the G frequency Range or another Range?
A: No. As a US dealer, B&H offers the components in the Sennheiser XSW 2 Wireless Combo System with Handheld Mic & Senal Earset Mic for frequency range A (548 to 572 MHz) which is the only frequency band offered for the XS Wireless Series systems to use in North America. All of the frequency bands for Sennheiser's XS Wireless Series systems differ from the frequency bands used for the Evolution Wireless Series and the components from these two series do not work together. For example, frequency range A for the Evolution Wireless Series system is 516 to 558 MHz, which is different from the A range for the XS Wireless series. There is no frequency range G for the XS Wireless Series and the other ranges that Sennheiser offers for the XS systems are only for use in different countries. Each of the other frequency ranges for the XS Wireless Series are only sold in the countries where they can be used.
Q: 6. How far can you be from the receiver before the signal starts to drop out?
A: Every situation is different, so it is difficult to say what kind of distance you will get exactly before the RF signal begins to drop off. Given the output power of the transmitter is 10nW, you can expect clear reception within 40-75 feet in an open space, roughly.
Q: 7. Is this receiver rack mountable?
A: The Sennheiser XSW 2 Wireless Combo System with Handheld Mic & Senal Earset Mic (A: 548 to 572 MHz), BH # SEXSW2835AX (B&H Kit), is rack mountable (1/2 rack space) via the included rack mount kit.
Q: 8. Is there a separate XLR out for each channel?
A: Yes, the Sennheiser EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver has separate XLR and 1/4" outputs for each channel.
Q: 9. The default sensitivity is -30. Is it recommended to put it higher to -15 or is -30 good? I am recording educational lectures in a studio space.
A: I would recommend doing a test recording with the mic starting off with the default sensitivity setting. Experiment with the settings as well as the positioning of the mic to find the combination that works best for you. When you do the test recordings, you can say which setting you are using for the sensitivity level and where the mic is placed. Just speak and record, and that way you can easily listen back and compare the audio clips without having to remember how everything was set up.
Q: 10. Are there other frequency range units available?
A: I'm sorry, but that system is only available within one frequency range. For more available ranges, I would recommend considering the more professional EW 100 G4 systems, like these: https://bhpho.to/3a3qpaM
