Frequently Asked Questions
C-band is less congested than 2.4 GHz, leading to fewer dropouts and interference, especially in venues with lots of other wireless gear.
The IE 4 is decent for basic monitoring, but serious performers might prefer a higher-end IEM for better isolation and sound detail – it's easily replaceable.
This receiver is designed for the XSW series, compatibility with other Sennheiser systems will depend on the specific model and frequency coordination.
