Sennheiser XSW 2-835 E-Band Vocal Set

The Sennheiser XSW 2-835 E-Band Vocal Set is an affordable brand-name wireless mic system with an impressive 12 channels, all of which can be operated simultaneously. At the same time, however, it is surprisingly simple to configure, because there is a remote channel for automatic frequency tuning and management. The external aerials provide better reception than many comparable devices, and Sennheiser also manufactures antenna splitters (sold separately), improving the unit's reception even further when working in difficult spaces or using multiple radio links. The LC display provides information on many important parameters, such as battery status and the quality of the radio signal, and the set conveniently also includes a rack kit, allowing the receiver to be installed in any 19" rack, where it will be out of harm's way and protected from dust, dirt, and dents on the road.

Let's imagine a comedian whose performances often include musical interludes and who prefers to travel with his own microphone - the one with which he's most familiar. He adjusts his handheld transmitter's input sensitivity to prevent clipping during the loud parts. This only has to be done once, by simply opening the battery compartment and testing out each of the four adjustable attenuation options; he can hear which setting suits him best while comparing the audio levels on the display. He can then connect his receiver's XLR or jack output to the mixing console at the venue, quickly optimising the output levels. He finds himself performing on mixed bills more and more often, so he appreciates how easy it is to find an open frequency: His Sennheiser XSW 2-835 E-Band Vocal Set has a broad frequency range and an automatic scan function, which also makes it easy for our comic to integrate his devices into existing setups during the sound check, and eliminates the need for time-consuming and headache-inducing wireless configuration.
