The ME 3 Headset Mic

Versatility is the hallmark of the ME 3. This headset mic is great for public speaking environments including lecture halls, classrooms, business conferences, live broadcasts, and houses of worship. Singers and actors can enjoy freedom of movement on the stage. Instructors in active environments (such as fitness trainers or presenters at how-to seminars) can clearly convey information while keeping their hands free for demonstrations. The ME 3's cardioid capsule ensures better isolation from environmental noise, as it minimizes pickup from the sides and rear of the capsule.

The XSW 2 Receiver

Enjoy flexibility without losing user-friendliness. The XS Wireless 2 Receiver from Sennheiser boasts more features than the XS Wireless 1, but is still intuitive and easy to set up. Simply plug it in and choose your settings from the manual options at the top of the receiver. The XSW 2 delivers pounding bass, crisp treble, two tuners (true diversity technology) to eliminate dropouts, and low-noise transmission that doesn’t create acoustic feedback. This receiver boasts an all-metal housing that can take the punishment of performances, day in and day out, without compromising its audio signal quality.
