The Sennheiser XSW-D LAVALIER SET is an easy entry point into the world of wireless microphone audio for speakers, educators, panelists, and moderators looking for a stage-ready system that's both cost effective and simple to use. It puts world-renowned Sennheiser wireless sound quality in a miniaturized, plug-and-go, 1-button digital system that anyone can operate. Plug it in, power it up, and you're immediately up and running, streamlining your setup so you can concentrate on delivering your message to your audience with confidence.
The set offers the highly popular ME2-II omnidirectional lavalier microphone along with a bodypack transmitter and an XLR-equipped plug-in receiver, both featuring lightweight, miniature housings. The system connects to a wide variety of professional audio gear including mixing boards and portable PA systems, allowing you to capture crisp-sounding speech with the hands-free convenience of a clip-on microphone, for presentations on stage, in lecture halls, houses of worship, or conference rooms.
- The ME2-II lavalier microphone clips to your clothing and plugs into the locking 3.5mm input on the bodypack transmitter. The transmitter is designed to only transmit signal from a mic (not from a mixer or recorder).
- The exceptionally lightweight and compact transmitter can be easily concealed in your pocket or discreetly attached to your waist with the included belt clip.
- Plug the compact receiver directly into the XLR input of your audio mixer or PA, and you're ready to turn the system on. The receiver cannot be phantom powered by a mixer. It needs to be charged ahead of time or used while being charged via USB.
- The 1-button, 1-LED concept with single-button interface and status indicator effortlessly handles power and linking tasks for you.
- The receiver and transmitter are pre-paired at the factory so when you turn on the system, it works—without the need for any additional button pressing.
- Sennheiser wireless mic systems are an industry standard, prized by professionals for their clarity and reliability. The XSW-D system allows first-time and budget-conscious users to get their hands on genuine Sennheiser sound quality without breaking the bank.
- The ever-popular ME2-II lavalier microphone delivers a natural sound, optimized for speech intelligibility. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that the sound remains consistent, even when the talent's head moves away from the mic.
- Nothing ruins a take like hearing the weather report coming through your mic. Unlike traditional analog wireless systems, the XSW-D digital system operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, away from interruptions and dropouts caused by TV and radio channel interference.
- Thanks to Sennheiser's channel allocation and interference management technology, the system selects the best operating frequency and automatically switches to a clean channel to provide reliable transmission at a distance up to 250' line of sight.
- The functionality of this XSW-D LAVALIER SET can easily be expanded by adding XSW-D Series transmitters and receivers, as your needs evolve.
- With this set, adding the XSW-D XLR female plug-on transmitter allows you to connect a dynamic handheld microphone for situations when the mic needs to be shared between speakers or passed around in the audience.
- For clearer speech in noisy environments, you can substitute the included lav mic with a Sennheiser-compatible headset mic.
- Because the XSW-D system operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, you don't have to worry about local licensing laws, frequency coordination, and other technical hassles.
- Simply let the system pick a channel for you, and you're ready to go—whether you're working at home or anywhere in the world.
- Eco-friendly USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries—1-hour charging to reach 50% of battery time
- 5-hour total battery life gives you plenty of presentation time
- Conveniently recharge batteries via USB while in operation or during breaks throughout the day
- Up to five systems can be operated simultaneously in the same environment
- Low 3.9 ms latency with aptX Live codec specifically designed to maximize digital wireless microphone performance
- Mute from either transmitter or receiver
- Multi-pairing lets you quickly switch between multiple transmitters linked to one receiver (note that only one transmitter can broadcast to one receiver at a time)

Sennheiser LAVALIER SET Reviews
Excellent lav Mic
My 2nd set. I really love this lev set.
Clear sound as always
Great piece of equipment which plugs directly into my Sony FS7 xlr. Great sound minimal editing. Be sure to charge before & after every shoot.
Love the simplicity
I have the XRL version. Very clean sound and very easy to use. I typically have it connected to my Zoom H6 and that feeds into my main camera, a Canon XA50. I most often record in our studio classroom with very little interference but need the mobility of a wireless mic. Looking forward to using the system in the field soon.
Easy to use exccelent audio
This little thing is the most portable and reliable on the go mic system I've seen and tested. Works awesomely. Audio quality is superb

I love Sennheiser
Everything is OK as always with Sennheiser
Excellent
Works great! I use it for educational videos to provide wireless and hands free flexibility since I have to shoot and often assist in the demonstration if I am not the one doing it myself.
Interference...
These are great when they work. I've been using three of these since about October and have had a popping noise/interference that occurs during recording. It lasts about a split second and happens at least once or twice during a 20 minute recording. Contacting Sennhesier about it, I don't trust them.
