A bargain with two wireless microphones
Yes, there really are two handheld wireless microphones at this affordable price. And yes, they are from Sennheiser. The XSW 1-825 Dual E-Band Vocal Set offers two dynamic cardioid wireless microphones for singers and presenters, paired with a matching receiver. The 825 microphone capsules are taken from the tried-and-tested Evolution series. Up to ten of these wireless devices can be used simultaneously – a relatively high number in this price range. The system is particularly user-friendly, with a clear menu layout and quick setup thanks to integrated antennas in the receiver housing. Users won't find a multi-page instruction manual here – Sennheiser rightly relies on a quick guide, which uses just a few diagrams to help users achieve the reliable sound Sennheiser is known for.

Wireless amplification for speech and vocals
The Sennheiser XSW 1-825 Dual E-Band Vocal Set consists of two wireless microphones and the corresponding receiver. Operating in the frequency ranges of 821–832MHz and 863–865MHz, the system is ready to use straight out of the box without the need to acquire a licence. A fixed pilot tone ensures interference-free operation, even when the handheld transmitter is switched off. It is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of five metres between the transmitter and receiver. With a transmission power of 10mW, the receiver can find a free frequency at the press of a button, which can then be synced with the handheld transmitter in a second step. The system covers a frequency range of 50Hz to 16kHz. Each handheld transmitter can run for up to ten hours on two AA batteries. During short backstage breaks, the artist can mute the wireless signal via the microphone. The displays on both the handheld transmitter and receiver show the remaining battery life at a glance.

Perfect for presenters and duet singers
The XSW 1-825 Dual E-Band Vocal Set is ideal for comedians, entertainers, presenters, small panel discussions, or weddings – in short, for anyone who occasionally needs to set up a few wireless channels effortlessly. The receivers can be placed free-standing without being mounted in a rack. Vocal duos with a lot of movement on stage will appreciate the two antennas built into the receiver, which provide an extended range. On tour, the integrated antennas save both setup time and add robustness to the system. The receiver features both XLR and jack outputs, enabling connection to nearly any mixing desk without the need for adaptors.

About Sennheiser
In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.
A spontaneous vocal performance...
To use the XSW 1-825 Dual E-Band Vocal Set, an artist only needs a microphone stand to get started. For example, a solo artist booked for a short performance may prefer to use their own microphone, as they are familiar with its sound. The artist can set up the receiver between five and 30 metres away from the stage, ideally placing it next to a mixer or active speaker to minimise cabling. The wireless microphone and receiver should maintain an unobstructed line of sight. The artist then selects a free frequency on the XSW 1-825 Dual E-Band Vocal Set's receiver and matches the microphone to it. The correct microphone sensitivity for their voice will already be known from past performances. The receiver's AF output is then adjusted to suit the mixer or active speaker being used. Finally, the high-quality Sennheiser microphone clip is attached to the stand – and the singer is ready to perform. The second microphone can be used, for example, to introduce the artist.

In the spotlight: Pilot tone
The pilot tone is a signal, typically consisting of a single frequency, transmitted independently of the main audio signal. It is inaudible and serves control, monitoring, or reference purposes. In wireless systems, the pilot tone is primarily used to indicate to the receiver whether the transmitter is switched on. If the signal is absent, the receiver mutes itself, preventing interference frequencies from being transmitted to the system when the wireless transmitter is turned off.
