The XS WIRELESS systems
Designed for different areas of application, the XS WIRELESS systems are available in five
variants.
Presentation Set XSW 12: This system is ideal for presentation applications. The unobtru-
sive ME 2-2 clip-on microphone is virtually invisible.
Instrument Set XSW 72: This system is for connecting musical instruments (e.g. guitar)
which have a ¼” (6.3 mm) jack socket directly to the bodypack transmitter.
Vocal Set XSW 35 and Vocal Set XSW 65: These systems are ideal for vocal and speech
applications.
Headset Set XSW 52: The lightweight and comfortable headset system gives absolute
freedom of movement for a more animated and impressive performance. High-quality
microphone technology provides clear, brilliant sound.
The XS WIRELESS systems are available in five UHF frequency ranges with 960 frequencies
per frequency range (except range E = 520 frequencies). Each frequency range (A, GB, B,
C, E) offers 8 frequency banks with up to 12 channels each. The frequency banks contain
factory-preset frequencies (frequency presets).
Features
• Up to 12 transmission links per frequency range which can be operated simultaneously
• Reliable transmission technology
• True diversity technology for minimizing dropouts in the reception
• Adjustable squelch for eliminating RF interference
• Rugged metal housing for EM 10 receiver
• Crystal-clear reception due to dynamic processor
• Sync function for wireless transmission of frequencies to transmitters
• Scan function searches for unused frequencies
Frequency range A 548 to 572 MHz
Frequency range GB 606 to 630 MHz
Frequency range B 614 to 638 MHz
Frequency range C 766 to 790 MHz
Frequency range E 821 to 832 MHz and 863 to 865 MHz
