Vocals for Live Performances

The XSW 2-865-A set combines a handheld transmitter with an e865 condenser capsule and an EM-XSW 2 true-diversity receiver. It is designed for live vocals, hosting, and sound reinforcement at smaller events where quick setup and intuitive controls are essential.

e865 Supercardioid Capsule

The e865 condenser capsule focuses on capturing the voice. The SKM 865-XSW handheld transmitter thus forms the vocal component of the set for singers and spoken-word performances.

True-diversity reception

The EM-XSW 2 uses two receiver paths and external antennas. The receiver’s metal chassis is also ready for rack mounting with the included GA 1-XSW 2 kit.

Automatic frequency setup

The system operates in Band A (548–572 MHz). Automatic frequency management and synchronization facilitate pairing the transmitter with the receiver; the manufacturer specifies up to 12 compatible channels.
