Sennheiser XSW-D Portable Interview Set with e 835 – Wireless Audio for Field Interviews

The Sennheiser XSW-D Portable Interview Set with e 835 Microphone is a reliable, camera-mount digital wireless microphone system designed for content creators, mobile journalists, and on-location interviewers. Available from B&H, this kit combines Sennheiser’s XSW-D plug-on transmitter with the highly regarded e 835 cardioid dynamic microphone, giving you a clean, professional sound in a compact setup that’s easy to operate on the go.

Built for Real-World Interviews and Field Recording

Whether you’re conducting man-on-the-street interviews, capturing live event coverage, or filming in high-traffic environments, this system gives you the tools to record clear, focused audio. The e 835 microphone features a directional cardioid pickup pattern, which helps reject background noise so your subject’s voice cuts through clearly, even in noisy surroundings like public spaces or trade shows.

Complete Wireless System in One Box

This interview kit includes everything you need to start recording right away:

• XSW-D XLR Female TX plug-on transmitter

• XSW-D Mini Jack RX camera-mount receiver

• Sennheiser e 835 handheld cardioid dynamic microphone

• Coiled 3.5mm output cable

• USB charging cable

• Camera shoemount adapter

• Storage accessories

The plug-on transmitter connects directly to the XLR connector on the e 835 mic, instantly turning it into a wireless handheld solution. The lightweight receiver mounts to your camera and connects via 3.5mm to your audio input, making setup fast and cable management simple.

Effortless Plug-and-Play Operation

With its 1-button, 1-LED design, the XSW-D system is incredibly user-friendly. The transmitter and receiver come pre-paired from the factory, so all you have to do is power them on, no menu diving, syncing, or scanning required.

This straightforward approach makes it perfect for solo shooters, beginner filmmakers, or professionals who need a no-fuss backup system.

Reliable Digital Audio with 2.4 GHz Transmission

The XSW-D system transmits audio over the license-free 2.4 GHz band, ensuring global compatibility and avoiding common interference from TV or radio signals. It uses Sennheiser’s intelligent frequency management to automatically select the best available channel and maintain a stable, interference-free signal.

You’ll get a wireless range of up to 250 feet (line of sight) with low latency (just 3.9 ms) thanks to the aptX Live codec, which preserves clarity and timing in speech-heavy content.

Long Battery Life with Fast USB Charging

Both the transmitter and receiver include rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, offering up to 5 hours of continuous use on a full charge. A quick 1-hour recharge provides 50% battery life, so even during busy shoots, you can keep going with minimal downtime.

You can charge the devices via USB while recording or during breaks, making it easy to stay powered without removing batteries or carrying spares.

Expandable and Adaptable for Growing Needs

If your workflow changes, the system can grow with you. The XSW-D receiver supports multi-transmitter pairing, so you can add other XSW-D transmitters like the Mini Jack TX bodypack to connect lavalier or headset mics for more versatility.

While only one transmitter can be active at a time, switching between paired transmitters is fast and efficient, allowing for flexible setups on fast-paced shoots.

The included Sennheiser e 835 dynamic microphone is built to handle real-world conditions. It features:

• A cardioid pickup pattern that isolates your subject’s voice and minimizes background noise

• Consistent tonal response even when the speaker moves off-axis

• Low handling noise, thanks to an integrated shock mount and hum-compensating coil
