Sennheiser XSW 2-865 Wireless Handheld System

The XSW 2-865-A is a handheld wireless system aimed at singers and presenters who want live sound without a setup headache. The SKM 865 transmitter carries Sennheiser's evolution e 865 super-cardioid condenser capsule, a detailed condenser voice with a tight pattern that holds off feedback and rejects the rest of the stage. Pressing sync links the handheld to the receiver over a remote channel, and an LCD on the metal-housed receiver opens up manual tuning when you want it.

The true-diversity receiver with external antennas keeps the signal solid across a room, tuning through band A (548-572 MHz) with up to 24 MHz of switching bandwidth and up to 12 compatible channels. A rackmount kit is in the box, so the receiver drops straight into a rack. The set ships with the EM XSW 2 receiver, the SKM 865 XSW handheld transmitter, an NT 12-5 CW power supply, an MZQ 1 microphone clip, and the GA 1 XSW 2 rackmount kit.
