Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE ENG SET with Waterproof SKB Case

A Plug-and-Play Wireless Microphone System for Video Creators and Journalists

The Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE ENG SET is a compact, camera-mount digital wireless microphone system built for content creators, mobile journalists, and videographers who need professional-quality sound on the go. This version, exclusively bundled by B&H, includes a rugged, custom-fit waterproof SKB case, designed to keep your gear protected in the field.

Wireless Audio for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras

With an intuitive design and reliable performance, this wireless combo set is perfect for recording interviews, documentaries, vlogs, and run-and-gun shoots. It features a bodypack transmitter with the trusted ME 2-II omnidirectional lavalier mic, a plug-on transmitter for handheld or shotgun microphones, and a camera-mount receiver that connects directly to your DSLR or mirrorless camera using the included 3.5mm coiled cable.

Quick Setup and One-Button Operation

Getting started is as easy as plugging in, powering on, and recording. The Sennheiser XSW-D system uses a simple one-button interface and comes pre-paired at the factory, eliminating complex menus or configuration. Switching between transmitters takes just seconds. You can only use one transmitter at a time, but toggling is seamless and automatic.

Professional Sound with Sennheiser Quality

At the heart of this system is Sennheiser's legendary audio quality. The included ME 2-II lavalier mic captures speech with clarity and warmth. Its omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures consistent sound, even when your subject turns their head. This makes it ideal for interviews and on-camera dialogue.

Digital Wireless That Avoids Interference

Operating in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, the XSW-D system is designed to avoid interference from traditional analog systems and TV signals. It automatically selects the best available frequency and switches channels as needed to maintain a clean, uninterrupted signal. With a range of up to 250 feet (line of sight), it's reliable for indoor and outdoor shoots alike.

Compact, Lightweight, and Travel-Ready

Every component in this set is designed with portability in mind. The transmitters and receiver are ultra-compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry, clip, or mount. The plug-on transmitter supports any dynamic mic or self-powered shotgun mic with XLR connectivity, giving you the flexibility to capture man-on-the-street interviews or boom audio with ease.

Built to Last with a Custom Waterproof Case

To protect your wireless system in the field, B&H includes a custom-cut SKB iSeries waterproof case. Made in the USA, this case features impact-resistant polypropylene construction, a watertight gasket seal, and custom foam inserts perfectly fitted for your Sennheiser components. It's also corrosion-resistant, UV-protected, and compliant with military-grade durability standards. Whether you're traveling, storing gear, or working in tough environments, this case keeps everything safe and organized.

Rechargeable Batteries and Eco-Friendly Power

The XSW-D system uses USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that provide up to 5 hours of continuous operation. A quick 1-hour charge delivers 50% power, and you can recharge during breaks or while the system is running using a standard USB connection.

Expandable and Flexible for Future Needs

As your production grows, the XSW-D Series allows for easy expansion. You can mix and match transmitters and receivers within the system. Swap the included lav mic with a compatible Sennheiser headset microphone for improved clarity in noisy environments or use alternate mics depending on the scene.

Hassle-Free, License-Free Operation Worldwide

Because this wireless system runs in the globally available 2.4 GHz frequency range, you can use it anywhere in the world without needing a license or dealing with frequency coordination. Just turn it on and start recording.

Low Latency and Crisp Digital Audio

With a low 3.9 ms latency and support for the aptX Live codec, this system ensures near-instant signal transmission, reducing lip sync issues in your video recordings.
