Xvive U3 Wireless System with an Iphone Audio Is Second to None

0:01 Looks a bit dodgy here but all will be revealed

Right guys, looks a bit dodgy here but all will be revealed. Now first of all my apologies for all this but this was just a makeshift for this video really. Okay so I have here the X-Vive wireless system. I have reviewed this before, nice professional pro bit of kit, well made, solid, chunky, not plasticky, doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart. Battery powered, chargeable via USB. You should know that from the other video I've done. Anyway, so I have here a microphone and I have a cable and I have a mirror. The reason for the mirror is that you can see I am using an iPhone 13 Pro. Hello there, how are you doing boyo? Right, so what am I going to do? Okay, let's turn this sucker on. Now first of all, let me tell you a little bit about this.

We have the transmitter and we have the receiver. Now, you can use this in many ways. What you can do is you could use this on a microphone, which I'm going to. Alternatively, you could use it for your PA. You can select one of six channels so you could have six units. So, for example, you could have, let's say, one of them channel one on your right output of your mixer. Channel two on your left output. Channel three could be for a microphone. That choice is yours. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to plug the transmitter into the mic and I'm going to plug in the receiver into this rather strange cable that I made earlier. I will explain about this in a bit. So I'm going to turn that on there. You can see now that's on channel 3. So I'm going to go over to here, turn that on and that's on channel 3.

1:59 What I have here is Rode SE4

Alright, so at the moment now I'm using the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I'm using the microphone on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Now if you're familiar with iPhones, I think from about 10 onwards you'll know they come with these things. I don't particularly like these much because when you buy a cheap and cheerful one your iPhone knows you're not using a proper iPhone, won't let you use it, which really is naughty because these are about £5 million each. What I have here is Rode SE4. Now, the reason you'll need one of these is because you'll need a mini jack with four points on the end. So a normal mini jack has three, positive, negative and then the earth. This one has four. So I'm going to connect that into there like so. And then on the other end, I've got female and that only needs three. Hence why I've got three.

On this side, so I'm going to plug that into there like that. Now what I'm going to do is I'm now going to plug this into the phone. So you may hear a bit of fuffling, the camera may wobble a little bit, but hold tight because all will be revealed very shortly and I'll use the mirror again. So just hold tight, you may hear silence for a little bit. One, two, three, one, two, three. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Nutty Jonathan. There you go. What do you think about that? So right now I'm using the microphone plugged in to the phone and I'm using the audio from the mic. And I can prove that by tapping on it on there. Look, there you go. Right, so I'm going to unplug it again. Hold tight. Right, so I have now unplugged the phone.

From the mic okay so what do we think about that then so what we've got is we've got a professional unit that you can use with your phone now i'm going to do another video very similar to this but it's going to be outside and the idea will be for me to use the phone have the phone set up Do something similar to what I've just done and then walk away from the phone and let's see how far we can get before the audio cuts out. That'd be quite interesting, so I might have to do that down the beach or something like that. Anyway, like I said, this is the X-Vive wireless system. It's known as the U3 and there will be a link in the description. In previous videos, I've just shown you, you know, I've shown the unit plugged into a speaker or again into a microphone. But this is taking it sort of another level, just trying to think outside the box. So I hope this video helps. Don't forget there will be a link in the description. They are definitely not cheap, but then again, you know, you pay for what you get.

The X5 U3 also comes with a twin charger, so you have a USB to two micro USBs, so you don't have to have two cables. You can just use the one cable. All right. Thank you very much for watching. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
