Sennheiser XSW 1-825 Vocal Set

Simplicity at its best

You already have enough on your mind when it comes to performing. So why would you want to spend hours trying to set something up? With a Sennheiser XSW 1 Wireless System in your rig, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Getting your system up and running is a breeze. Automatic frequency management takes the pain out of frequency switching. And if you want to do it manually, you can do that too. The easy-to-navigate streamlined interface on the receiver makes finding and changing settings quick and easy.

Syncing your components is simple too. Just hold the SYNC button on your transmitter until the symbol flashes, then press SYNC on your receiver. That’s it. All done. All that’s left to do is make sure that everything is connected to the rest of your setup, and you’re good to go.

The system you can rely on

You’re all setup. You’re on stage. And you’re ready to get this show on the road. Nothing can ruin that feeling. Especially with an XSW 1 system by your side. Whether it’s once a week, or five times a day, you can count on true Sennheiser quality to get you through every single performance without a hitch.

Diversity reception keeps your signal clean and clear, automatically switching between your receiver’s antennas when dropouts are detected. Those antennas are neatly integrated inside the receiver too, so you don’t have to worry about them being accidentally dislodged or broken off.

It’s not just about the wireless performance either. Sennheiser products are built to last. From the back of the van, to the cramped stage side, and back home again. You want your gear to be able to endure every single part of your performance, both on and off the stage. And with Sennheiser’s dedication to quality and reliability, that’s exactly what you get.

Vocal versatility

Singer? Presenter? Cattle auctioneer? No matter what you need your mic for, the 825 capsule ensures you’re heard with clarity. Every word is crisp and articulate, and every nuance is reproduced with absolute precision. A soft presence boost helps you cut through the mix whilst retaining the natural character of your voice. Plus, with its cardioid polar pattern, you can be sure that it’s just you that your audience hears, and not everything else around you.
