Sennheiser XSW 1-ME2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (Black)

The Sennheiser 506980 is a wireless lavalier microphone system designed for anyone who wants clear speech without the distraction of cables. Built around the trusted XSW 1 platform, it gives presenters, educators, worship leaders, and on-camera talent a straightforward path to professional sound.

Setup is intentionally simple. Automatic frequency management scans the airwaves and locks onto an open channel in the stable UHF band, so there is no need to scroll through menus or memorize frequency charts. Up to ten compatible channels are available, making it practical for multi-mic events or venues that host several speakers at once.

The included bodypack transmitter is compact and light, slipping easily into a pocket or clipping to a belt. Paired with the ME2 omnidirectional clip-on microphone, it picks up speech evenly from all directions, letting the user focus on delivery rather than mic technique. Two AA batteries power the transmitter for as long as ten hours, long enough for an entire conference day or multiple services.

On the receiving end, a stationary unit with integrated antennas delivers diversity reception for a consistent signal. Its front-panel controls are intuitive, so a volunteer, teacher, or touring engineer can make quick adjustments without digging into a manual. The selectable 548 to 572 MHz range fits neatly into many regional frequency allocations, adding flexibility when traveling.

Whether you are outfitting a lecture hall, streaming a corporate webinar, or adding a discreet mic to a video shoot, the Sennheiser 506980 offers reliable performance and an effortless workflow that lets the message take center stage.
