XVive U4 Wireless System Bundle 2R

The XVive receiver, which can easily be attached to a trouser waistband or instrument strap, features two rotary controls that are placed in an easily accessible position. The first of these is the volume control (labelled accordingly with a large "V"), while the second is used for channel selection, and an LED indicator shows at a glance which channel is active. The top side of the receiver houses the on/off switch and a headphone output in 3.5mm mini-jack format for connecting the in-ear monitors. Like the transmitter, the receiver also features an LED indicator that shows at a glance how much battery charge is left and illuminates red when the level drops below 29% and flashes when a recharge is needed. Charging takes place via the USB socket located on the left-hand side of the housing.

Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
