Sennheiser has expanded its range of IEM (in-ear monitoring) systems with the launch of the new XS Wireless, which promises to deliver a ‘big leap’ in performance quality for musicians.
The XS Wireless IEM from Sennheiser is a starter set designed to offer simple, flexible, and reliable wireless in-ear monitoring for those making the jump from stage wedges to IEMs.
“No matter what your musical genre, whether you are rehearsing or performing live, XSW IEM will level up your sound and give you total freedom of movement,” said Bertram Zimmermann, product manager at Sennheiser. “Being able to hear yourself with clarity is a pre-requisite for a great performance. XSW IEM will give you consistency, reliability, and quality audio, and will let you focus on playing and singing your best.
“Once musicians have tried out wireless in-ears, they will not want to go back to wedges,” Zimmermann continued. “The difference in sound is just too obvious. Hearing yourself well through floor monitors, side fills, or even the PA can be a real struggle. The sound changes constantly, especially when you move around, and is also very different from venue to venue. Trying to hear yourself better by increasing the monitor volume makes things worse, even to the point of causing hearing damage. Also, the overall sound for the audience will deteriorate substantially.”
The XS Wireless IEMs use the UHF band to provide a professional-level wireless connection. Aligned and pre-calculated frequency presets allow musicians to get started quickly and easily. If desired, transmission frequencies can also be selected manually.
