Make existing microphones wireless

The Sennheiser XSW-D XLR Base Set turns wired microphones into wireless ones. The comparatively slim transmitter is practically invisible, be it on stage or on film. Simply plug the transmitter into the existing microphone, connect the receiver to an audio input on a mixing console or camera, and the wireless link is ready to go: Everything is configured with just one button. Both transmitter and receiver are powered by built-in rechargeable batteries, and the maximum distance between the devices is among the best in this class of device: At 75m (nearly 250 feet), it should be enough to bridge the gap between the stage and all but the most distant mixing desks. The system operates in the 2.4GHz range and can therefore be used worldwide, and another practical feature is that a receiver can switch between the signals from a maximum of four transmitters.

Digital wireless link for microphones

This toolkit for digital wireless audio transmission is suitable for all dynamic microphones and any battery-powered condenser microphones. As mentioned above, it operates in the 2.4GHz range, and with a pleasingly low latency of just 4ms, the set is ideal for both live events and recordings. The audio transmission range extends from 80Hz to 18kHz, and both transmitter and receiver have XLR sockets for connecting audio. A set with fully charged batteries lasts up to five hours, which should usually be enough to go right from the sound check to the encore. After the concert, the built-in batteries can be recharged using the included USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a standard USB mains adapter. Fresh from the box, the transmitter and receiver come pre-paired and ready for use.

Sennheiser satisfaction

The Sennheiser XSW-D XLR base set offers anyone who is already perfectly satisfied with the sound of their existing wired microphone a cost-effective way of switching to a digital wireless link. This gives performers the opportunity to enjoy the freedom of movement that comes with a wireless microphone at a relatively low cost. From stage musicians and street performers to professional camera operators, anyone can enjoy Sennheiser's high-quality conversion technology, and apply it flexibly to different microphones. Especially when working with cameras and active speakers – but also with smaller mixing consoles – it's a huge help to be able to switch between four transmitters that can be used alternatively with the same receiver, because there is no need for four separate radio frequencies. And of course, users are completely flexible when it comes to choosing which microphone they want to turn into a wireless one.

About Sennheiser

In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company’s international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.

Four microphones – one radio link

Anyone who has ever had to quickly set up a mic for a street performance will know what a relief it is to be able to go without cables. With the Sennheiser XSW-D XLR base set, every musician's own tried and tested microphone can be quickly transformed into a wireless one: All they have to do is connect the transmitter to the mic and the receiver to the speaker, and they are ready to go. And it's equally easy to set up a camera – equipped with an XLR input for the audio signal – for a quick vox pop interview. Or imagine hosting a small-scale concert with four bands, perhaps at home or in the local youth centre: All the lead vocalists can use their own favourite microphones, each of them equipped with a dedicated sender. When it's time for the next band, it's simply a case of switching on the receiver being used: This also means the same radio frequency can be used for all four singers, freeing up more channels on mixing desk. The fact that the wireless link can be muted by both the transmitter and the receiver is particularly practical when using the receiver at the FOH position, as it allows the musician to focus entirely on their performance.

Using Multiple Sennheiser XSW-D's in a PA system.

Nick.S 23.05.2020

I use a pair of Lucas Nano 608i's to provide PA for a church worship team. The system works great and I wanted to make it super quick to set by replacing the cabling with wireless units.

When choosing the wireless components, the BIG question I had was: "Will these 2.4Ghz wireless units operate correctly when the receivers are plugged into the mixer in very close proximity to each other"?

I read many reviews, watched loads of YouTube reviews, spoke to techy people, and yet I could not find an answer which would give me confidence that it would work. So I bought five Sennheiser XSW-D Base Sets to try it out for myself.

After charging all the XSW-D units and learning about the function of the single button and LED on each unit, I plugged the receivers into the mixer XLR sockets, plugged the transmitters onto SM58 microphones, and it all works great. It could not be simpler.

I personally cannot tell the difference between the wireless versus cable performance. I’m really impressed with both the simplicity and performance of the XSW-D units, and excited to use them for real with the worship group. I can now set up the two portable Lucas Nano 608i's, with singers and instruments and be ready to go in minutes.

I also feed a separate guitar signal into the mixer using a 2.4Ghz Line6 G50, and everything works without any issue.

Each unit can operate for up to five hours on a charge, which is plenty for our worship group. However, to provide 100% confidence on it's first live outing, I will provide each singer with a K&M Smartphone holder mounted to their mic stand, to hold a VARTA Powerbank, with a short USBA-C lead to connect the VARTA to the Sennheiser XSW-D Transmitter. And similarly, I'll use a powered USB hub at the receiver side.

(I’ve since learned that a maximum of five XSW-D transmitter / receiver pairs can be used at the same time. I have asked Sennheiser if this is literally a system limit, or if it is the number that would guarantee a good performance. I’ll update when I get a response.)

Fantastic product

Razem 09.12.2019

I've used this with my Sennheiser E945 and it's just fantastic. I've tested it first during a rehearsal and then on the stage. In both cases it performed really well and I haven't noticed any dropouts even when it was in a really noisy environment (lots of Wi-Fi routers). The sound is clear and without any interference.

It's really easy to use, you just click a button on both devices and they pair. Altough it's mainly made of plastic it feels pretty sturdy.

I can't tell much about the battery life as our gigs are usually about 1 hour long and I haven't tested it all the way down to 0 %. A better battery indication would be good though.

Good sound

Henrik Y 01.06.2023

Wireless for any Mic with XLR. A little tricky to connect but when you get it, its fine.

Range is ok for stages (up to 75 m) but as any wireless, dont let brick walls come in between the antennas.

I have now 2 pairs and they work flawless. As I understood you can use up to 5 pairs together. Above that number is not possible. Therfore only 4 stars. Soundwise: Sounds great.

Great! Not perfect.

Carl SOUL 12.01.2024

I pondered spending this kind of money on what I could essentially get from another manufacturer for a fraction of the cost. I do not regret it for a moment! The quality of the signal is so true to a cable connection I still can not hear the difference. Even in my soundproof studio. It's really rather impressive. Yes, the battery indicator takes some getting used to but I've used this set up for 3 hour gigs with no problem. They link together incredibly easily and feel high quality. BUT! I am SO annoyed that for this price they do not come with a single to double USB charger, there are 2 of them after all! And there is no case or soft bag to put them in whilst travelling. Just the ridiculously oversized cardboard box they come in. I think for the higher price Sennheiser needs to up it's game there. That being said these really are great and so far I've had no dropouts in signal. Even in busy rooms and when 10 meters away.
