XVIVE U45R2 Two-pack U45 System

Product overview

The XVIVE U45R2 Two-pack U45 System is a wireless in-ear monitoring solution for two people: one U45T transmitter and two U45R belt-pack receivers on the 5.8 GHz band.

Both receivers set to the transmitter's channel hear the same monitor mix, so two performers share one wireless mix, or one user keeps a backup receiver. The transmitter connects to a mixer or sound interface; each receiver feeds in-ear monitors, earphones or headphones.

Loud and clear on 5.8 GHz

The U45 signal broadcasts on the 5.8 GHz band, which is less crowded than the 2.4 GHz band and so less likely to meet interference. Audio is high-resolution 24-bit / 48 kHz with a very wide and smooth 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, a 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio and more volume than you will ever need.

The U45T transmitter

The U45T transmitter connects to the audio source, typically a mixer or sound interface, through its XLR connector, or to mono unbalanced 1/4 inch TS outputs with the supplied adapter. Its controls are an Aux / Line mode switch (Aux -10 dBV, Line +4 dBu), a power switch, a channel switch for channels 1-6 with a channel LED, a power status LED and a USB charging port; a lock and a circumferential ground spring keep the connection secure. It measures 100 x 30 x 28 mm and weighs 90 g.

The U45R receiver

The U45R belt-pack receiver has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) headphone output for in-ear monitors, earphones or headphones, a volume control, a power switch, a channel switch with channel LED (hold for 3 seconds to scan for the best channel), an RF status LED (on = linked, flashing = interference, off = transmitter off or unlinked), a power status LED, a USB charging port and two antennas. It measures 60 x 47 x 41 mm and weighs 118 g.

Long, easy charge

The internal batteries of transmitter and receiver last 5 hours and charge with the included USB cable and any standard 5 V USB charger in 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the charger; a 15 minute charge gives about 30 minutes of use.

Applications

The basic application is to run a monitor mix from a soundboard, wirelessly, to one set of headphones or in-ear monitors, live, at home or in the studio. With more than one U45 receiver one person can speak clearly to a group for demos, presentations or tours; recording musicians can play or sing and engineer at the same time; and a guitar or bass can be practised privately through a multi-effect unit or modelling amp. Up to six musicians can use U45 systems together, one monitor mix per transmitter, so a band can rehearse without PA speakers.

FAQs

What does the U45R2 include?

One U45T transmitter and two U45R receivers.

Can the two receivers hear different mixes?

Receivers on the same channel hear the same mix; for a second mix XVIVE uses a second transmitter on its own channel.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 5 hours in the transmitter and each receiver; a full charge takes about 2.5 hours over 5 V USB.

Where can I buy the XVIVE U45R2 Two-pack U45 System in India?

The XVIVE U45R2 Two-pack U45 System is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.

Workflow 1: Wireless monitor mix from the mixer

Singers and musicians on stage or in the studio.

Connections

Setup

1. Connect the transmitter to the mixer's aux send or XLR output.
2. Switch both units on and set the receiver to the transmitter's channel.
3. Turn up the receiver volume gradually.
4. Set the levels of each channel's send to that output.

Tip: Keep the receiver volume below 70 %.

Workflow 2: Aux or line level

Mixers, interfaces and portable players.

Connections

Setup

1. Set the transmitter mode switch to Line or Aux.
2. Adjust the source level to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio.

Tip: Distorted audio: check the Line / Aux setting first.

Workflow 3: Several listeners on one mix

Bands, tour guides and presenters.

Connections

Setup

1. Set every receiver to the transmitter's channel.
2. Each listener sets an own volume.

Tip: Receivers on the same channel hear the same audio.

Workflow 4: Separate mixes for each performer

Bands with different monitoring needs.

Connections

Setup

1. Give each transmitter its own channel.
2. Set each performer's receiver to the channel of the right mix.
3. Use up to six systems in one area.

Tip: No wedge monitors are needed when everyone is on the U45.

Workflow 5: Find the best channel

Busy wireless environments.

Connections

Setup

1. Switch the transmitter off.
2. Hold the receiver channel button for 3 seconds to scan.
3. Set the transmitter to the channel the receiver selected.

Tip: Keep receivers more than 3 m from Wi-Fi routers.

Workflow 6: Extend the effective range

Mixers whose outputs sit close together, or crowded RF areas.

Connections

Setup

1. Connect the transmitter to the mixer through an XLR cable.
2. Place the transmitter where it has a clear path to the receivers.

Tip: An XLR extension can also resolve interference when many wireless units share the area.
