Sennheiser XSW 1-825 DUAL: Two Mics, One Receiver

The dual receiver keeps your setup compact, delivering two independent wireless channels for duets, co-hosts, panels, and karaoke. Each channel uses antenna-switching diversity for reliable reception, and setup takes just a few button presses.

The e825 Capsule

The SKM 825-XSW handhelds use Sennheiser’s e825 dynamic cardioid capsule, delivering an open, natural vocal sound with good feedback rejection for speech and singing, and a rugged design built for everyday stage use.

Setting Up the XSW 1-825 DUAL

Connect the receiver to power and your mixer, then run the automatic frequency scan for each channel. Sync each handheld via the remote channel, insert two AA batteries, and set levels at the mixer.

What to Pair With the XSW 1-825 DUAL

Pair the XSW 1-825 DUAL with rechargeable AA batteries, mic stands and clips, XLR cables, and a mixer or powered speaker.

Easy Expansion

Up to 10 compatible channels can run in the same frequency band, and XS Wireless 1 and 2 systems in the same range work together, so you can add lavalier, headset, or instrument systems later.

Where to Use It

The XSW 1-825 DUAL suits houses of worship, schools, conference rooms, karaoke venues, small bands, and event hosts who need two dependable wireless microphones.

Tips for Reliable Wireless

Keep the receiver in line of sight with the stage, away from metal and Wi-Fi equipment, and rescan at each new venue. Replace or recharge batteries before every event.

Microphone Technique

Hold the mic close, one to two inches from the mouth, and keep it pointed at your mouth to use the cardioid pattern. Avoid cupping the grille, which can cause feedback and change the tone.

Why a Dual Receiver?

A dual receiver takes up half the space of two separate units, needs only one power supply, and keeps both channels organized, making it ideal for small racks, tabletops, and portable setups.

Battery Tips

Use quality alkaline or rechargeable NiMH AA batteries, check levels before each event, and carry spares so a presentation or set is never interrupted.
