Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A Wireless Vocal Set

The Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A is a wireless vocal system that brings professional UHF performance to singers, presenters and performers who need freedom on stage. It pairs a handheld transmitter fitted with the cardioid e825 dynamic capsule, a capsule known for cutting through a live mix, with a true diversity receiver that guards the signal against dropouts. The Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A offers ten compatible channels, simple one-touch synchronization and up to ten hours of operation on standard AA batteries, so it is as easy to run as it is reliable to perform with. For small venues, houses of worship, schools and working bands, the Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A is wireless done properly.

Why Choose Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A?

Performers choose the Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A because it removes the two biggest worries of wireless: dropouts and complicated setup. The true diversity receiver constantly compares two antennas and uses the stronger signal, which keeps the audio stable even when the performer moves across the stage. Setup takes seconds: scan for a free channel, synchronize the transmitter at the touch of a button, and sing. The cardioid e825 capsule focuses on the voice and rejects stage noise from monitors and other instruments, while the Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A receiver offers both XLR and 6.3 mm outputs, so it connects to any mixer, PA or powered speaker without adapters or fuss.
