Designed for live vocal performances, the XDR-955 is the first-ever
handheld wireless microphone system to utilize digital conversion and
proprietary dual digital RF transmission technology to faithfully and
reliably reproduce every nuance of a vocal performance with a superior
sonic clarity that surpasses even the most expensive analog devices.
The system only recognizes correct digital data and disregards all
other sources of interference. This is essential when considering
today's wide presence of cell phones, wireless networks and other
unforeseen or unknown sources of RF energy. Additionally, the XDR-955
is 2009 Compliant meaning that it's free from DTV and FCC licensing
concerns and can roam virtually anywhere throughout N. and S. America
without issue.
The XDH4 handheld transmitter will ship standard with the Audix OM3
capsule and features rugged polycarbonate material to house the unit's
circuitry and AA battery design. Batteries mount side-by-side making
visual confirmation of installation immediate for the user. Signal
transfer from the microphone capsule is handled by mechanical
connection and arrives at the A/D converter millimeters from the
capsule resulting in superb vocal clarity while maintaining a high
level of feedback rejection.
Operating the system is incredibly simple: just power on and match the
frequency of the transmitter to the receiver and you're ready to go. No
gain switches or level parameters to adjust mean you're up an running
with ease. Advanced users benefit from the inclusion of professional
features including: Hi and Low RF power mode, user enabled Mute
function, and lockout mode for the controls. All modes are accessed via
the included custom back-lit LCD. For live performance and on-camera
applications, the LCD automatically darkens a few seconds after setup.
On the XDR4 receiver, real-time multi-color LEDs indicate overall
system performance including: channel, RF signal, audio level, battery
life at the transmitter, operating mode, and diversity status of the
four internal receivers.
The XDR-955 system has a working range of 300 feet under typical
conditions and faithfully reproduces the full frequency response of the
microphone capsule via the systems performance. Specifications include
a frequency response of 10 — 20,000 Hz, ± .5 dB (half a dB or less)
with a dynamic range of >118 dB, A-weighted, and a THD of <.03%.
X2 Digital Wireless Systems, Inc. will officially launch its new
revolutionary XDR-955 Handheld Digital Wireless Microphone at winter
NAMM 2008 in Anaheim, CA.
Prices start at $999, MSRP, including rackmounting hardware and
front-mount antenna kit. Availability is set for the first quarter of
2008. For more information, visit their web site at www.x2digitalwireless.com.
