XS WIRELESS 2: An Evolution Designed for the Stage and Advanced Settings
The XS WIRELESS 2 is aimed at those who want to go beyond a "ready-to-sing" wireless system: Sennheiser emphasizes flexibility and immediate readability of information thanks to an LCD screen, while maintaining a simple deployment philosophy. In this XSW2-865 configuration, the set is optimized for vocals with a capsule from the evolution range, renowned live for its musicality and ability to remain intelligible even in noisy environments.
For Which Singers, Hosts, and Usage Contexts?
The Sennheiser XSW2-865 is an all-in-one UHF wireless microphone system designed for singers, hosts, speakers, and band leaders seeking a vocal reproduction finer than a classic dynamic microphone. Its supercardioid directionality helps limit feedback (stage monitors, nearby instruments) and keeps the voice prominent, making it an excellent choice for compact stages, setups with multiple sound sources, or performances where a very clear vocal is desired.
Thanks to the included rack mounting kit, the system easily integrates into a control room, flight case, or touring rack, while remaining easy to transport with the included pouch.
