Xvive Audio U3 Overview

This Xvive Audio U3 Wireless XLR Microphone Interview Kit with Omni Interview Microphone from B&H includes a plug-on XLR wireless mic transmitter and XLR-equipped wireless receiver and a broadcast-quality handheld omnidirectional dynamic microphone. With a maximum range of 90 feet, this kit is ideal for reporting, interviews, and conferences.

Xvive Audio U3 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System

Turn your dynamic microphone into wireless with the U3 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System from Xvive Audio. It features a 2.4 GHz wireless band, 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and less than 5 ms latency. The system works up to a 90' range, and includes two rechargeable batteries with a five-hour life for both receiver and transmitter units. The transmitter plugs into a dynamic microphone or into DI or XLR output gear, and the receiver plugs into a live sound mixer, portable PA system, or a recorder. This system broadcasts on six channels simultaneously, and is suitable for live vocals, presentations, video productions, and houses of worship.

Senal ENG-18RL Broadcast Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphone (Long)

The Senal ENG-18RL is a broadcast-quality omnidirectional dynamic microphone. The dynamic capsule picks up sound in a 360° pattern and does not require a battery or phantom power, making it a reliable choice for critical field applications. The microphone's exceptionally low handling noise and resistance to wind noise and vocal plosives make it perfect for professional ENG applications like live reporting, interviews, and press conferences.

At multiple areas inside the microphone, natural rubber with special shock-absorbing properties is bonded to carbon steel rings to isolate the sealed inner shell from the outer shell. This system protects the microphone capsule from impacts and inclement weather, and dissipates kinetic energy, dramatically reducing handling noise and resonance due to rustling and knocking.

The microphone also incorporates multistage wind protection to minimize wind noise and vocal plosives. A mesh grille, acoustic foam, acoustic fabric, and another layer of acoustic foam work to diffuse excess sound pressure from wind and breath. A fixed rigid carbon-steel ring with a unique bullet-shaped design disperses breath to minimize vocal plosives.

The EQ curve is tailored for broadcast use, with a gradual low-frequency roll-off to keep out unwanted rumble, a pronounced midrange to ensure speech intelligibility, and a high-frequency roll-off to eliminate hiss and sibilance distortion. Whether broadcasting on television, AM/FM radio, or over the internet, the ENG-18RL is designed to ensure that dialogue cuts through the mix, and can be broadcast live without EQ adjustment.

The ENG-18RL features a durable aluminum-alloy shaft designed for EMI rejection and reduced internal resonance, with a matte black finish for a professional appearance and minimum light reflection. The mic is also long enough to accommodate a mic flag.

Xvive Audio U3 Reviews

I had a problem

By Shawn
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-05

When I got this, I hooked it up to my Zoom H6. I walked and talked outside for 3 front yards. The audio sounded AWESOME. Like a wired mic. I did my 1st gig with this. It sounded VERY good. I had charged both units before the gig. 2 hours in to the gig, it was cutting out. I was using a Soundcraft UI24. I thought the GATE was set too high and was cutting out the soft spoken words. NOPE, the setting was LOW so the softest voice would open the gate. So why was this unit otherwise great, cutting out. I didn't think to use a different channel because the test before the gig (a birthday party for 96yr old family member) seemed to prove there is no interference here. Surprise. I have a month to return. I dont want to keep it unless I know it rock solid. The next gig won't be so forgiving if it cuts out.......I'll look like an idiot.

Distance is an issue

Works very well when you are close, but using them at a news conference can be tough if your audio recorder is more than 30 yards away from the transmitter.

I never realized how inconvenient mic cables were until I went wireless with this Xvive system. Be aware that not every battery powered condenser mic will work with this as I've had a high pitched hum with my Sennhesier ME6. This worked flawlessly with my Rode M3. Customer service responds in record time via email from China and I have absolutely no complaints there. Every product question I've had has been answered within 24 hours by Nancy or Grace from Mainland China. This is a good product. I own two of these and two Xvive U3C wireless systems and they've worked flawlessly.

I have used this for Jam nights and even a comedy night. I use with Shure SM58. Works great! I would like to see an upgrade to supply phantom power for condensers, but still fully happy as is.

Useless

Very reliable item, works as description. Sound good, even at long distance. My only issue is that you need to tight well on the mic to avoid loose connection. Works great with my SM 57 beta.

Can the transmitter be plugged into a soundboard's XLR main output and can the receiver be plugged into the XLR input of the Canon XA11 Camcorder (B&H # CAXA11 MFR # 2218C002)? If so, should the XA11's input be set to Line, MIC, or MIC +48?
Asked by: Kenneth
After looking at the specs on the Xvive Audio U3 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System (Xvive), I saw that it has a maximum input level of 2.8 V p-p in Mic Mode and 7 V p-p in Line Mode. My mixer has +4dBu outputs. That's approximately 1.23 Volts which is below the maximum input levels of the Xvive. With that said, I decided to give it a try and it worked. One drawback to consider. The Xvive has a thick form factor. After plugging it into the Canon XA11 Camcorder, I could not remove it. The release button on the XA11 is blocked by the body of the Xvive. I guess it will just have to stay there so I am glad that it works.

Can this be used to connect a mixer with speakers?
Asked by: Oliver
Yes, the transmitter for the Xvive Audio U3 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System accepts line level input signal so the system can be used to connect a mixer with speakers. Keep in mind that this system has an operating range of up to 90 feet line of sight.

I have a C100 MK 2, was thinking that this would be great to use with a shotgun Mic. Plug one end into the XLR in the upper handle and the other into the XLR on the Mic. This should work well, correct?
Asked by: Noah J
You would have to plug the mic into the transmitter and the receiver into a recorder, camera or mixer. This is only made for dynamic mic's. So no phantom power.
