Sennheiser XSW 2-CI1 Wireless Instrument System

The XSW 2-CI1-A is the step-up UHF wireless system for guitar and bass, built around a True Diversity receiver in a metal housing with an unbalanced 1/4-inch output. Two separate receiver sections and external antennas give it a more resilient hold on the signal than an entry-level system, so it stays connected through the tougher RF conditions of a busy stage. A backlit LCD adds manual control for players who want to dial things in.

A compact SK XSW bodypack with an illuminated mute button connects to the instrument through a robust CI 1 cable and runs about 10 hours per charge. Automatic frequency management and remote-channel sync make setup fast, and the system tunes a wide range in frequency band A (548-572 MHz) with up to 12 compatible channels. The set includes the EM XSW 2 receiver, an SK XSW bodypack, a CI 1 instrument cable, an NT 12-5 CW power supply, and a GA 1 XSW 2 rackmount kit.
