Sennheiser XSW 2-835 Set wireless A: 548-572 MHz

Sennheiser XSW 2-835-A — Pro-Grade UHF Wireless Vocal System

The Sennheiser XSW 2-835-A is an all-in-one UHF wireless vocal system built around the proven e835 evolution dynamic capsule. Designed for singers, presenters, and live performers, it pairs a True Diversity receiver with a handheld transmitter featuring an intuitive LCD display. This system is the right choice for vocalists and presenters who need reliable stage sound with fast setup.

What Sets the XSW 2-835-A Apart

Unlike entry-level wireless sets, this system uses a True Diversity receiver with two external BNC antennas and a metal housing built for daily stage use. Automatic frequency management scans the UHF band and synchronizes a clean channel to the transmitter via a dedicated remote channel — no manual frequency hunting required.

Wireless Performance & Signal Specs

Wireless performance hinges on clean transmission and stable reception. The True Diversity design combined with adjustable squelch keeps the signal locked even in RF-crowded environments.

• Wireless Technology: Analog UHF, 548–572 MHz (A band) — stable spectrum for European venues
• Diversity: True Diversity with two external BNC antennas — virtually eliminates dropouts
• Audio Frequency Response: 50 Hz to 16 kHz — full vocal range with clear highs
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: ≥ 103 dB(A) — clean output with minimal hiss

Capsule, Transmitter & Power

The handheld transmitter pairs the e835 dynamic capsule with a cardioid polar pattern that rejects stage noise and feedback. Two AA batteries deliver approximately 10 hours of operation.

• Capsule: Sennheiser e835 evolution, dynamic, cardioid — proven live-vocal workhorse
• Battery Powered: Yes — 2× AA (included), approx. 10 hrs runtime — quick swap, no recharge downtime
• Receiver Housing: Metal (680 g) — durable for touring and rental use

Who Should Choose the XSW 2-835-A

The XSW 2-835-A is the right choice for solo vocalists, houses of worship, schools, and small-to-mid venue operators who want evolution capsule quality at an accessible price. An intuitive LCD, automatic frequency scan, and rackmount-ready receiver make it friendly for users who don't want to dive into RF engineering. Up to 12 compatible channels allow clean multi-mic setups.

The Sennheiser XS Wireless 2 Line

Sennheiser introduced the XS Wireless 2 series as the successor to the original XS Wireless, refining the chassis and upgrading to True Diversity reception while keeping the trusted e835 capsule. This model sits in the middle of the lineup — a step above the XSW 1 for users needing more manual control.
