Sennheiser introduced the new XS Wireless systems which are available in instrument pack, handheld, lavalier, and headworn mic units.

These systems automatically search for available frequencies and transmitters and synchronize them via wireless link. Transmitters have a 10-hour battery life and a bandwidth of 24MHz that allows for up to 12 XS Wireless units to operate simultaneously.

The XS Wireless Series is designed for small venues, conference rooms or houses of worship.
