XVive U45 In-Ear Monitor Transmitter

The Xvive U45 transmitter runs in the 5.8GHz ISM band and delivers a 20–20,000Hz frequency range, covering the full span of human hearing. That provides crisp, detailed playback right across the spectrum, whether the mix is running loud or sitting low. With six switchable channels, the transmitter can be tweaked on the fly to cut interference or adapt to whatever conditions the venue might have in store. The controls are deliberately simple: A channel wheel, a Power/Mute switch, and an Aux/Line switch for picking the output level (+4dBu for line gear, –10dBV for aux setups), so setup is quick and painless. The 110dB signal‑to‑noise ratio keeps the feed clean and free of grit. The battery lasts up to five hours, and the USB‑C port makes recharging fast and hassle‑free.

Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
