SENNHEISER RADIOMICS - XSW2 series

Sennheiser XS Wireless 2 systems follow on from the popular XS Wireless systems to offer 'XL performance' and 'XS price'. Designed for presentation, vocal, and instrumental use in music, theatre, and speech applications, these systems combine 'reliable transmission' with 'professional live sound'.

The systems utilise a quick setup feature using 'one-touch' sync to search automatically for free frequencies and synchronise the systems via RF remote. Systems are offered with dynamic or condenser hand-held transmitters in addition to belt-pack transmitters with either miniature body-worn or head-worn microphones or for use with electric instruments, such as guitars. Receivers may be mounted in a standard rack, using the included rack kit hardware.

These systems are offered set for channel 38 (606 - 614 MHz), which is the range for licensed radio microphones and in-ear monitors in the UK; or for channel 70 (863 - 865 MHz), a smaller but licence-exempt band for UK use. A licence is required to operate this equipment in channel 38. Up to date information should be available at https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication-licences/pmse.

Usage Note: Licensing and legal use information for radiomic equipment in this product group is applicable to the UK only. Customers should check with the relevant regulatory body for the territory the equipment is to be used in prior to purchase to ensure appropriate legal usage and local environmental restrictions.

Twelve systems may be operated simultaneously in one location. Eight frequency banks are available, each can have a maximum of twelve preset channels. Frequencies are set by selecting a frequency bank and then a preset channel. The receiver can then be set to scan for an unused channel within a frequency bank and select it. The settings selected on the receiver can then be transferred to the transmitter by pressing the sync button on the transmitter and then the sync button on the receiver. The receiver has adjustable squelch to reduce RF interference. Transmitters have mute buttons; the user can prevent the audio from being heard without intervention at the receiver or by the sound operator.

Noise: Better than -103dB, A weighted. Distortion: Less than 0.9% THD. Transmitter synchronisation: 2.4GHz low power OQPSK, only active during sync process. Operating time: 10 hours. Operating temperature: 0 to 40 degrees C.
