    FREEDOM. CLARITY. FUN

    The Sennheiser XSWD has inspired freedom in my playing, clarity in my tone, and fun for hours on stage, recording, or just practicing at home. It has allowed me to move and perform in ways I have never done before. From jumping off of my friend’s bass amp to taking a solo in the crowd, I’ve learned that this is the NEXT LEVEL of performance. It’s also compact and super easy to use with simple buttons that communicate via LED. It shows you if you’re connected and even where you are in your battery lifespan, which lasts up to 5 hours! At one point I forgot to charge in between two full gigs and it lasted well through both. I would recommend this to any traveling or session guitarist.

    PRO:

    - Compact - Easy to use - Increases movement on and off stage - 5 hours of battery life - LED communicates link and charge - 1/4 extension and belt clip

    CON:

    It would have been cool to have another charging cable or charging port that charges the pair at the same time.

    BEST USES:

    - Performing - Practicing - Recording

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.

    Fantastic Product - Fits in your case - Sennheiser Pro Sound Quality

    This replaced the AKG system which was bulky and needed power source. Superb clean Sennheiser pro-quality sound. Thank you Sennheiser!

    PRO:

    Receiver and transmitter are both bug-type, no huge clunky receiver station or belt-type clip on. USB rechargeable. Both parts fit into any case. Plug and play!

    CON:

    None

    BEST USES:

    I use it with my 1738 Wenger violin. Awesome noiseless sound. Receiver and transmitter easily fit in accessory pocket of the case!

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.

    Great But....

    So far, no response on my Warranty ticket.

    PRO:

    Great concept. Two units, base plugs into input of amp or effects unit and transmitter plugs into guitar. Fantastic distance, zero signal loss, sounds like a cable.

    CON:

    Transmitter pivot jack loosens over time. Nice idea poorly executed. Waiting on warranty response right now. Hopefully I just got a bad one but I've had about 70 shows since April 2019 and now TX doesn't work at all.

    BEST USES:

    Great for use with my Headrush as there isn't an extra pedal or power supply needed.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.

  • How do I pair an additional component to my existing system?
    Start with both devices powered off. Press and hold the power buttons on selected transmitter and receiver for (minimum of) 5 seconds to enable pairing on the devices.  Both indicators will flash green and red, then turn solid green when pairing is complete.

  • How many transmitters can I pair with my receiver?
    Up to four transmitters can be paired with a receiver. Note, only one transmitter may be used at a time.

  • Can I send audio from one transmitter to multiple receivers simultaneously?

    The 6.3mm (1/4 inch) jack connector has a 90-degree range of motion, allowing it to be plugged into a wide range of instruments with side, top or even recessed input jacks.  In the event that the transmitter does not fit into a specific instrument, an extension cable is provided, which allows the transmitter to be clipped to the strap.

  • Can I use the Ci1 instrument cable with the 3.5mm input on the Mini Jack Transmitter?
    No, the Ci1 instrument cable (included in analog XS Wireless and evolution wireless instrument sets) is not compatible with XS Wireless Digital. For instrument connections via 6.3mm (1/4 inch) jack, please use the dedicated instrument transmitter.

  • Can I connect XS Wireless Digital to my computer via the USB cable?
    XS Wireless components can be charged via a computer's USB port, but audio is not passed to or from a computer via USB.

  • My audio is distorted, what should I do?
    In the unlikely event that your audio distorts, reduce the input level on your mixing board, DSLR camera or other external device. If your equipment offers choice of mic or line level, please select line. For devices offering mic level only, reducing input sensitivity will improve results.  XS Wireless Digital has been designed to provide a clean, robust output signal, but you may need to adjust your external device the default settings on to achieve the best results.

CONSUMER ALERT FOR WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Most users do not need a license to operate a wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating a microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones
