Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE ENG SET – Wireless Audio for Video Creators and Mobile Journalists

The Sennheiser XSW-D PORTABLE ENG SET is a powerful and easy-to-use digital wireless microphone system designed specifically for vloggers, video shooters, and mobile journalists. Whether you're filming interviews, run-and-gun video, or on-the-go content, this system gives you the freedom of wireless audio with the legendary sound quality Sennheiser is known for.

With a plug-and-record design, a simple one-button interface, and a lightweight camera-mount receiver, it’s the ideal choice for creators who want to capture professional-quality sound without spending hours on setup.

Built for Flexibility in the Field

This wireless set includes two transmitters for maximum flexibility: a bodypack transmitter with the ME 2-II omnidirectional lavalier mic and a plug-on transmitter for use with handheld or shotgun microphones (sold separately). This makes the system suitable for a wide range of shooting styles, from interviews to documentaries and event coverage.

The included camera-mount receiver connects easily to your DSLR, mirrorless camera, camcorder, or even a mobile device (adapter required), letting you record crisp, clean dialogue or ambient audio wherever you are.

Note: Although the kit includes two transmitters, only one can be used at a time.

Quick Setup with One-Button Operation

With its intuitive one-button design, the XSW-D system is fast and frustration-free. Both transmitters come pre-paired to the receiver, so all you need to do is power on the units, and you're ready to roll.

Switching between the two transmitters is just as simple. Turn one off, power on the other, and the system connects automatically. This means you spend less time configuring settings and more time focusing on your shoot.

Lightweight, Discreet Components

The ME 2-II lavalier microphone discreetly clips to your subject’s clothing and connects to the compact bodypack transmitter via a locking 3.5mm connector. The transmitter is lightweight and easy to hide in a pocket or on a belt using the included clip.

The plug-on transmitter features an XLR input and allows you to connect dynamic handheld mics or self-powered shotgun mics, ideal for street interviews, event reporting, or using a boom mic. Please note, it does not supply phantom power.

The camera-mounted receiver includes a shoemount adapter and a coiled 3.5mm output cable, giving you everything needed to connect to your camera's audio input with a clean, stable signal.

Professional Sound in a Portable System

With Sennheiser’s industry-leading audio quality, you can count on clean, intelligible voice capture every time. The ME 2-II lavalier mic provides a natural sound profile and its omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures consistent audio even when your subject moves.

This system is perfect for interviews, talking-head content, and B-roll voiceover recording, offering professional-level performance in a compact and portable form.

Reliable 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Technology

The XSW-D PORTABLE ENG SET operates in the license-free 2.4 GHz band, which avoids the interference issues common with analog systems and lets you record without worrying about local frequency restrictions.

Sennheiser’s intelligent channel management automatically selects the clearest frequency and seamlessly switches channels to prevent dropouts or noise. With up to 250 feet of range in line-of-sight conditions, you get freedom to move without losing signal.

Rechargeable Power That Lasts

The system includes eco-friendly lithium-ion batteries that provide up to 5 hours of continuous operation, enough for a full day of shooting. With USB charging built-in, you can top off the battery between takes or even while recording.

• 1-hour quick charge = 50% battery

• Charge while in use via USB

• Use up to five XSW-D systems simultaneously in the same location

The low 3.9 ms latency ensures that audio stays perfectly in sync, while the aptX Live codec enhances performance for speech and video applications.

Expandable to Match Your Workflow

This Sennheiser wireless system is designed to grow with your production needs. Add additional transmitters or receivers from the XSW-D Series, or swap the lavalier mic for a headset microphone in louder environments.

It’s a smart investment for creators who need an affordable, flexible wireless setup that won’t hold them back as their work evolves.
