Important questions about the article Sennheiser XSW-D Portable Interview Set
Question: Does the XSW-D Portable Interview Set include a microphone?
Answer: No. The set includes an XLR female transmitter for a separate dynamic handheld microphone, but no microphone itself.
Question: What is the 3.5 mm receiver designed for?
Answer: The mini-jack receiver outputs the wireless signal via 3.5 mm and is therefore intended for cameras or portable recorders with a suitable audio input. The supplied coiled cable connects it directly to such an input.
Question: Can I use the set worldwide without a radio licence?
Answer: Yes, the system operates in the licence-free 2.4 GHz band. In environments with many Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices, however, the wireless link may be subject to more interference.
Question: What are the transmission range and latency?
Answer: The range is up to 75 metres under favourable conditions, and latency is below 4 ms. This keeps audio practically in sync for interviews recorded with video.
Question: How long does the system run on one battery charge?
Answer: The transmitter and receiver each run for up to five hours and are charged via USB-C. A full charge takes around three hours.
Question: Can several XSW-D links be used at the same time?
Answer: Yes, up to five XSW-D systems can be operated in parallel. For interviews with several people, each additional microphone link needs its own suitable transmitter/receiver pair.
Question: What is included besides the microphone and recording device?
Answer: The set includes an XLR female transmitter, mini-jack receiver, 3.5 mm coiled cable, cold-shoe mount, USB-A to USB-C charging cable, colour labels, quick guide and safety guide. No additional mounting accessory is needed to attach it to a camera.
