In this video Brian and Bradford review the Sennheiser XSW-D wireless pedalboard set for guitar. It's a very compact wireless guitar unit with an integrated tuner. In our experience it worked perfectly in a variety of settings.
Setting up the wireless unit is very easy and the unit requires essentially zero setup - just plug in and play.

Bradford's guitar💯... Give me that
Does the XLR out function like a DI? Could I run this with an acoustic and just run straight out to the board via XLR? And further, could phantom power power this unit?
I use the dual dongle style (receiver is the same as the transmitter) XSW-D with my acoustic guitars. The sound is perfect, battery life is great... and NO drop outs.
what is this?? please elaborate here - so you can use TWO of the transmitter units to eliminate the need for the pedal receiver?
@@JeffreyRutland Yes, sort of. There is a receiver that looks identical to the transmitter (except for a sticker on the back that says transmitter. Only down side is that you have to charge the receiver instead of having it plugged into pedalboard power
@@chadnedohin that’s perfect - I could just leave it plugged into my laptop to charge while using it. are you still using it in this manner? it works well for you?
@@JeffreyRutland Yes I’m still doing this. And it works well.
how if this sennheiser do compare with shure GLXD16 please, which best?
Hey you two, thanks for your review. It was very helpful. The only thing I consider right now (while I’m in the market for a wireless guitar unit in 2022): Do you really think that 5 hours of battery life could be enough for a whole Sunday?
At our church we have 4 services (10 am, 12 am, 5 pm, 7 pm) with two sound checks one in the morning one at 3pm. And so I could imagine that I would get more than 5 hours of usage total on a Sunday.
I think it’s unfortunate that battery life is shorter than for example on a shure glxd 16 and that there is even no possibility of changing batteries or an extra battery pack.
So when I would need a quick charge it’s kind of hard in my mind.
And the thought of charging the unit during noon is kind of bothering me when I spend that amount of money. I’d like to think of battery life the days before and have the sundays mindly free for other stuff.
But I would really appreciate your opinion on that scenario as you already had it in live use. Thanks for your precious work! :)
Always wondered about these.... hmmm can you do the microphone wireless one as an output for the helix?
Have you guys ever tried these on active pickups? How is the frequency range for bass? Is there an option for output db correction?
Will this turn my bass player into a normal human and not a statue?
LOL
😂 One can hope
No, the bassist is busy filling the entire low end. Being the second most important instrument behind drums must make him nervous.
I was gonna guy the GLXD16 factory direct and just received word that it’s already discontinued. I need to know if the XSW-D is a better alternative, or should I wait till Shure announces whatever replaces the GLXD16 (probably months or a couple of years).
How does this compare to the Shure GLXD16? I've been researching both units, and I can't decide which one would be best.
still waiting for this
@@BagusWibisono For what it's worth, I bought the Shure GLXD16, and it works great. I've used it for about 15 sets now, and I haven't had any issues in any venues. I highly recommend it.
Will this work on an acoustic as well?
I have the line6 and the only upside to this I can see is the angle input, no cable needed for charging, syncing just plug into base and done. Wouldn’t be hard to do a strap mount system for the line 6. Also the on off switch of the line6 is a great feature.
no longevity....Line6 wireless simply ceases to function after a couple years,according to two people i know who bought it....curious to know if yours still functions
Looks like a really solid unit. It’s on my short list. Minor issue: I only wish the extension cable would’ve had a 90 degree male 1/4” input. But you can purchase one of those cable separately.
telecaster's don't really work with a 90 degree angle so I'm happy.
Yep, all of my guitars are side input and that's exactly what I was thinking. I found some cables elsewhere but for that price I wish they were included.
I would like to know about the sound of the transmitter, is it sound quality close to Line 6 G30? Thanks
can't find the info on line anywhere....can the pedalboard unit draw phantom power over the xlr or must you have external power?
Do y'all know if the tuner can handle different tunings such as if you tune down a 1/2 step?
If memory serves, Brian, you said the Line 6 did have some noticeable high-end roll off. So would you say the Sennheiser has a better, more accurate signal?
That was probably an older Line 6 wireless unit that I’ve used before - can’t remember the name of it (but it did remove high end). The G10 never altered the tone in a way that i could tell.
compare with shure GLXD16 please, which best?
Do you guys typically cable up? I tend to not move around a whole lot to justify having another wireless pack.
It really depends on the campus. At our larger campuses most musicians are wireless.
I use a cable to the board and a wireless to the amp.
Would it seem excessive to have one of those on my Helix input AND one on the output? Imagine a world without cords....except the power supply, I guess since Tesla’s wireless power experiment got shut down we have have one cord. I feel so held down by the man
Hey guys. If you were to make a recommendation heading into 2022, which system would you suggest? Is there a wireless system that you've been using consistently since making this video? Thanks!
Can you charge it with a powerbank? While playing ;)
Does line 6 have the same sound quality as this ?
When will there be a system that gives you IEM receiver and a guitar out transmitter so you have one body pack? This would sell! I'm surprised this has not been developed yet.
Is there anything like this that still works well on a pedalboard but doesn't function as a tuner? I prefer my Polytune :/
Xcellent! thank you! This is german or chinese?
what guitars did you use with it passive vs active?
Both works.. i got it myself and tried with active and passive :)
How long to charge? And how do you know when it’s charged? Please.
I don’t remember the charging times off the top of my head, but the manual contains all that information
First to see and comment
Tons of people use a wireless network on stage to control their IEM mix via an app like mixing station. Front of house engineer might also have a wireless network set up on stage for wireless mixing. So yeah it’s pretty common actually.
RF systems are always gonna perform better than 2.4GHz wireless systems, and today’s RF systems are really easy to tune to avoid interference. The Sennheiser EW-D/EW-DX systems will run circles around this. These quickly start to have dropout issues when you have multiple players on stage with them, when there’s another WiFi network for running production, when people’s cell phones or iPads have their WiFi turned on…
Looks like you can’t plug into a strat unless you use the wire extension cable. True? If so, bummer, and that seems like a dumb design. There’s a lot of strats out there!
First.
A number of reviews on Sweetwater said the transmitter battery life was awful, some of them said "40 minutes."
I owned it and used it about 10 times in live. I can say it's 5 hours, not 40 minutes.
Uso esse transmissor há um ano, e posso garantir que há perda de qualidade no sinal da guitarra, e uma pequena perda de ganho também. Quando conectado no meu amplificador Roland Blues Cube Artist, a perda de qualidade é bem perceptível.
So basically 80$ more for a tuner/mute
Sorry but I’m copper wire from guitar to XLR.
Right into the amp..... ewwwww
