Sennheiser XSW 2-835-A Handheld Wireless Microphone

I had been struggling with the purchase decision for this one. There are so many competing products out there; quite a few in the same price category. I was looking for a reliable, easy to set up system that ships with a microphone that doesn't sound cheap. There were mixed reviews for all the options, from cheap no-name brands to the big names. And in the end it was indeed the name Sennheiser was what won me over ─ and I haven't regretted my choice. This is by far the easiest setup I've ever had. I literally put the battery in, hooked up the receiver, switched on the microphone and I it worked, just like that. I didn't even read the guide. That's exactly what I was looking for as the last thing you want to do at an event is troubleshoot a cumbersome microphone system. Very happy with my choice!

Esta calificación es momentánea, ya que tengo poco tiempo de uso con el dispositivo, pero de momento ha funcionado de manera efectiva y sobre todo que he probado que si tiene bastante potencia aun teniendo muros gruesos de hormigón entre el transmisor y receptor, es excelente que tenga todo lo necesario para que también se pueda montar en un rack. Estaré actualizando esta reseña una vez tenga más tiempo de haberlo utilizado, de momento todo excelente.

I really appreciate the industrial design on the gen 2 systems. I picked a lavalier to compliment my DJ rig. I used my XSW1 with handheld on a mic stand and XS2 Lav on a groom for a wedding ceremony, I ran the lav at 0db gain and got a hot signal into my mixer. He sounded great and was able to roll the treble off a bit, turn mixer up and pick the bride up during their vows. It has a great omnidirectional pickup pattern. I was not able to full use the included rack mount as the bolt pattern on the new racker and joinery piece is not compatible with gen 1 systems. I'll rework the metal pieces to properly install everything. I do wish they offered a complimentary windscreen for the mic, not that I needed it but will have to source one now for future outdoor use.

I've been using Shure for a long time, never liked the SM58 so I bought a SM86 Condenser mike. It was "Better" but still, lacked a lot of punch for my particular vocal. I had the occasion to test out an e935 and I was amazed how well it responded (even compared to the SM86) so I jumped ship and got this kit. Wireless, condenser, Sennheiser! Oh. My. God!! It is so much better for my vocal, I can't say how much everyone in the band is pleased (including me!) Note: Mikes are highly susceptible to voice type. Some (Many) swears by Shure's mikes as it fit theirs perfectly. My advice, try as many brand as you can!!! You can be surprised!!

Great mic
