Sennheiser Launches XS Wireless IEM In-Ear Monitoring System
XS Wireless IEM features reliable UHF transmission to tailor monitor sound to the
musician's needs.
Sennheiser, manufacturer of Evolution Wireless IEM systems, launches XS Wireless IEM
for musicians
seeking to professionalize their shows by switching from floor wedges to wireless IEMs.
Sennheiser XS Wireless IEM is a complete starter set for musicians who want to professionalize their
performances by switching to wireless IEMs XS Wireless IEM (or XSW IEM for short) is a complete
starter set for personal monitoring and has been designed to set a new standard for simple,
flexible, and reliable wireless in-ear monitoring. The system enables users to quickly establish an
easy-to-manage wireless connection in the professional UHF range.
"No matter what your musical genre, whether you are rehearsing or performing live, XSW IEM will
level up your sound and give you total freedom of movement," says Bertram Zimmermann, Product
Manager at Sennheiser. "Being able to hear yourself with clarity is a pre-requisite for a great
performance. XSW IEM will give you consistency, reliability, and quality audio, and will let you
focus on playing and singing your best."
"Once musicians have tried out wireless in-ears, they will not want to go back to wedges," says
Zimmermann. "The difference in sound is just too obvious. Hearing yourself well through floor
monitors, side fills, or even the PA can be a real struggle. The sound changes constantly,
especially when you move around, and is also very different from venue to venue. Trying to hear
yourself better by increasing the monitor volume makes things worse, even to the point of causing
hearing damage. Also, the overall sound for the audience will deteriorate substantially."
XSW IEM gives musicians a consistent, reliable sound that is independent of the location and their
position on stage. The transparency they hear helps them finetune and improve their performance. Any
risk of feedback is greatly reduced. Regardless of tech experience, XS Wireless IEM systems are easy
and fast to set up. They will put an end to stage clutter - and give musicians back more space in
their rehearsal room.
XSW IEM uses the UHF band to provide a professional-level wireless connection. Aligned and
pre-calculated frequency presets get musicians started with ease and in a snap. If desired,
transmission frequencies can also be selected manually. Backlit displays on both the receiver
bodypack and the rack-mount transmitter help to clearly see settings even in poor lighting
conditions. In addition, the system offers a limiter to protect user's hearing and a high-frequency
boost to increase detail and intelligibility.
For their monitor sound, users can opt for a mono mix (one mix, and the pan control adjusts the
volume for the left and right ear) or a stereo mix. The latter provides two options: With Focus mode
switched off, the pan control will change the left/right volume; with Focus mode switched on, it
will determine which of the two input signals will be heard louder, creating a personal mono mix
tailored to the musician's needs. An infrared sensor helps to easily sync multiple bodypack
receivers to one transmitter.
