XDR955 Digital Wireless Microphone Overview Videos

When it comes to wireless microphone systems, what you put in isn't always necessarily what you get out. Analog wireless systems make use of "companding" to transfer the signal, essentially compressing the audio and then attempting to expand it on the other end. This creates a muffled tone and virtually kills the response to transience or quick bursts in audio levels.

With digital wireless and the X2 XDR955's Virtual Wire Transmission, you'll hear everything on the other end exactly as it was produced. There's no companding, which means you get full range frequency response, a wide dynamic range, and excellent transient response.

As you can see, the frequency response of the XDR955 is much closer to the wired microphone than an analog wireless system and with the frequency response modeled to match that of the industry-standard wired microphone, your sound guy won't be in for any surprises in the mix.

It's your big moment. You're about to take the stage and deliver the performance that will define your future. Maybe it's a speech. Maybe it's your song. Either way, he hands you a wireless mic. Now the fear begins.

You've grown up in a world filled with analog wireless systems that could drop out at any moment or pick up interference from the hundreds of radio, television and other waves floating through the ether. You know that there's a 50/50 chance that your performance could be ruined by a wireless malfunction that's totally out of your control.

You see, analog wireless is competing with the big guns, massive television and radio transmitters that are also using those frequencies to send information. You might hear your voice come out of the PA system or you might hear the nightly news. It's all a gamble.

But there's another choice, a digital wireless system, the X2 XDR955.

With digital wireless, your sound is transmitted on a frequency that doesn't compete with massive transmitters and even if it did, your sound is encoded in a way that the receiver can tell it apart from any other information in that frequency at the time.

Your sound comes through crystal clear every time on ANY of the 5 available channels and EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL will be completely usable. With Q-Diversity Plus, your audio transmission is secure and completely free from external interference.

We can all appreciate the dedication and skill of an engineer but should you have to be one to operate a wireless microphone system?

You see with analog wireless systems, YOU have to do the research and find out which version works best in your area. Then you have to find out what frequencies are clear to use by choosing the correct group and scanning. Then you have to tweak and hope that a cloud of interference doesn't rain on your signal or that your battery doesn't die in the middle of your performance.

With digital wireless and the X2 XDR955, all of that is made simple. Your signal travels on the 900 MHz ISM Band, so it's completely license free and won't compete with DTV or any other "white space" devices. Simply choose any of the 5 available channels and you'll be up and running. No scanning required.

Wanna know the status of your battery? Your wireless mic constantly sends that data to your receiver where it is displayed on a 16 bar LED. No surprises.

There's even a rack mount kit included so it's easy to install in a standard 19" rack system without compromising the ease of use and reliability.
