The Sennheiser XSW-D INSTRUMENT BASE SET is a gig-ready, low-latency, wireless guitar system that's as easy to use as a guitar cable, while still providing the freedom of digital wireless. The XSW-D puts world-renowned Sennheiser sound quality into a plug-and-play, 1-button digital system that anyone can operate. Plug it in, power it up, and you're immediately up and playing, simplifying your setup so you can concentrate on performing with confidence.

The XSW-D INSTRUMENT BASE SET comes with a 1/4" plug-on instrument transmitter and a 1/4" plug-in instrument receiver, both featuring lightweight, miniature housings. The system connects to any guitar/bass amplifier or pedal and captures the full range of your instrument without compromising your tone, whether you're playing on stage, at home, or in rehearsals.

Unboxing the System

• The exceptionally lightweight and low-profile 1/4" plug-on transmitter plugs directly into the output on your guitar or instrument. 
• For a less obtrusive appearance, you can use the included belt clip and extension cable to attach the transmitter to your waist or a strap. The extension cable can also be used when the transmitter doesn't fit in a specific instrument.
• Plug the compact 1/4" plug-on receiver directly into the input of your amplifier or pedal.
• You're ready to turn it on and play—it's that easy.

Plug In, Turn On: It Works

• The 1-button, 1-LED concept with single-button interface and status indicator effortlessly handles power and linking tasks for you.
• The receiver and transmitter are pre-paired at the factory so when you turn on the system, it works—without the need for any additional button pressing.

(For optimal results, use of the XSW-D is recommended in environments with limited Wi-Fi / 2.4 GHz traffic.)

Step Up to Sennheiser Sound Quality

• Sennheiser wireless systems are an industry standard, prized by professionals for their clarity and reliability. The XSW-D system allows first-time and budget-conscious users to get their hands on genuine Sennheiser sound quality without breaking the bank.
• Analog wireless systems need to squash your signal to operate in the FM band, resulting in a thin sound with a high noise floor. The XSW-D uses digital technology to preserve the dynamic range of your signal and deliver a crisp, clean, guitar sound with all the nuances of your performance.
• On stage, timing is critical, and the XSW-D uses the aptX Live codec to deliver an impressively low latency of 3.9ms, so you don't experience any lag when playing—keeping you on point and in the groove.

Easy 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless

• Nothing ruins a take like hearing the weather report coming through your amp. Unlike traditional analog wireless systems, the XSW-D digital system operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, away from interruptions and dropouts caused by TV and radio channel interference.
• Thanks to Sennheiser's channel allocation and interference management technology, the system selects the best operating frequency and automatically switches to a clean channel to provide reliable transmission at a distance up to 250' line of sight.

Expand Your System as Your Needs Grow

• The functionality of this XSW-D INSTRUMENT BASE SET can easily be expanded by adding XSW-D Series transmitters and receivers, as your needs evolve.
• With this set, adding the XSW-D pedalboard receiver allows you to take your performance to the next level.
• If your band wants to go wireless, up to five musicians can each use an XSW-D system on the same stage.

License-Free Operation Worldwide

• Because the XSW-D system operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, you don't have to worry about local licensing laws, frequency coordination, and other technical hassles.
• Simply let the system pick a channel for you and start recording whether you're working at home or anywhere in the world.

Other Features

• Eco-friendly USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries—1-hour charging to reach 50% of battery time 
• 5-hour total battery life means you don't have to recharge your system mid-show
• Conveniently recharge batteries via USB while in operation or during breaks throughout the day
• Mute from either transmitter or receiver
