Xvive U35D Dual Wireless System for Audio DJ Mic Powered PA or Band Use

0:01 It's the U35D dual wireless system for audio

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you may remember me doing a similar video on something like this over a year ago. And we have another version. It's from X-Vive. It's the U35D dual wireless system for audio. So there's a lot more to this than meets the eye. We have two receivers and two transmitters. Now, my disclaimer, I was indeed sent this for free. Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. If you have watched previous videos, like I said, you'll know that I have used the other version of this a couple of years ago. I'm still really happy with it. I've got it, still use it, but this is, I believe, the next level. So what we have here in the box, it's a dual system. We have Two transmitters, which are the ones in the middle, and two receivers, one either side. Now there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. So first of all and foremost, what is it? Well, of course, it's a system for transmitting audio. So for example, if you're a mobile DJ and you're old school, you've still got a microphone with a cable attached to it, well then...

2:10 I think you're looking at something like a hundred feet

Look no further, because when you plug the transmitter into your microphone, the receiver into your mixer, all of a sudden you have got a wireless system. Yeah, so if you're an old school SM58 dude and, you know, you just want to be able to walk around, there's nothing better than having a crowd in front of you and instead of being stuck behind the DJ booth because your cable is about five metres long and that's it. Look no further because you plug this into your microphone, the receiver into your mixer and you can walk around. I think you're looking at something like a hundred feet. Now again that depends on what's in the room if you've got walls or pillars anything like that but Let's say, generally, you know, for a mobile DJ, if you're in a hotel and you're doing a nice wedding, you can walk around the venue with ease, not having to think that the sound is going to disappear. So let's open it up and have a look inside. Right, this is the first time I've opened it. And the proof of that will be because everything's neatly tidy and untouched. There you go. Right, look at that.

I mean, doesn't that look fancy? Okay, so we've got, like I said, the two receivers and the two transmitters. You will know which ones the transmitters are and receivers. Transmitters, of course, have got the aerials on them. And again, very logical, you have male and female XLR. Also here, we've got a conversion kit that basically you can plug That in, I believe, to, where are we now? To the receiver just as an extension. Okay, so we've got one of those. We have, let's have a look, I believe these will be the bags. Okay, and we have our charging cables. And if I open this, hold on, let me just tear this one open, sorry, for ease. Okay, so we have micro USB and there's two of these cables and it's a twin power cable. So there you go. So you can plug in USB and you can charge two at the same time. So there's two of those. I don't believe there's anything else.

4:53 With the use of radio mic, very simple

There is indeed probably information on the product. There you go, information etc. Okay, so what we've got, we've got 5.8 gigahertz, right, five milliseconds latency. Okay, so that's pretty good. Five hours battery life as well. All right, so let's talk about sort of what you can use it for. Now, logically again, it's, you know, it's going to be great for your mobile DJ. With the use of radio mic, very simple. So the transmitter itself can be set in two different ways. You can have a line or microphone. So basically you can use it just for the microphone. Alternatively, what you can do, and I think this is why they thought about having a dual set. And how can I put it? Okay, so let's say you've turned up at your venue.

And you realise that where you want to set up your PA, you're going to have to do a lot of trunking with cable, audio cable. So, of course, if you are using powered speakers, now this is where this will come into its own. Because imagine, you know, for example, there's your DJ booth there. All right, so here we go. I like this kind of thing. There's your DJ booth. Don't eat that, it's silica gel. And there's a big door there and there's no way to put cable on the floor. You haven't got any gaffer tape or even if you have, the management have said you can't do it because it's a carpet or trip hazard. You know the score. You can't put it over the door because there's nowhere of attaching it. You can't put any sellotape, you can't put gaffer tape. There's nothing to attach the cable but that is the only other place where you can have a speaker. So you're basically...

You're knackered, aren't you? But what you can do with these, this is why I like the idea of having two of them. Because what you can do is you can have your speaker anywhere you want and you can plug in, of course, the transmitter into the back of the speaker. Sorry, I'll start again. You can plug in, right, start again. Transmitter into the back of the mixer or, of course, your DJ kit or your controller. And then you plug in the receiver, sorry, I beg your pardon, into the speaker, of course. Yeah, alright, punk style, you know what I mean. Sometimes I have that blonde moment. No offence to people with blonde hair, I haven't got any so I can't talk, can I? Alright, so what you'll do then is you'll switch it from mic and then...

7:18 It's no longer being used as a microphone, it's now used for audio tra

So it's no longer being used as a microphone, it's now used for audio transmission. So this then will become the transmitter, this then will become the receiver and this will receive of course the audio and then Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt, away you go and you've got audio into your PA. And again because there's two of them... You could, by all means, use two of them. Now, you may be thinking, yeah, but hold on, if I've got two that are on the same frequency, what's going to happen? Well, really, what we're looking at here is... Not what we're looking at, but if I show you here, so hopefully there's a bit of power. Yes, there is. Brilliant. You can see there the number one. So as I press that, we go to number two, three, four, five.

So, we can set different channels on here. So, for example, you know, if you are using two microphones, you can set microphone one on one unit, microphone two on the other. That's one thing I do like about this. So, again, you know, if you imagine you've had six of these, you've got six channels. See, I'm not going to worry much at all. Okay, 110... DB dynamic range and 110 dB signal to noise ratio. I'll be honest with you, I've got no idea what that means. Wireless, like I said, up to 100 feet. Right, okay, let's have a think. What else can I talk about with this? Right, what I will say is I'm going to be using this soon in a live event. And also, you may remember... The first product I had from them, they were silver, they didn't have the red base. But I did a video in a field where I plugged it into an iPhone and I sort of walked away to give an idea of how far you can go. Now, the trouble is with products like this.

9:39 They're pretty sort of box standard

They're pretty sort of box standard. There's not much you can say about them, but one thing I will say is the build quality is absolutely second to none. They don't feel plasticky. They feel very solid, very chunky. You know, I have, suffice to say, the other ones, I sort of accidentally sort of knocked them on the floor and they've, you know, but... Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Again, please, very important, look at the instructions of each item because every item is different. But generally what I find is if it says, you know, a normal charge, charge it for three hours. Quite often with new products, you know, they recommend just leave it plugged in overnight because you could theoretically extend the battery life. Okay, so two chargers, each is a dual.

11:53 Have you got this product yourself?

I've got the information, I always call it the destruction manual here, and information here on other X-Vive products. Of course we've got in-ear products and a whole variety there, that looks quite interesting. I will be putting information in the description. And also warranty cards, I'm going to be using these for a very long time. I still got the other ones, still use them. I used them at Lakefest. I had myself including a couple of MCs using them and it's just a great way of being able to walk around and not have cables everywhere. So there you go ladies and gentlemen, there will be info in the description. As I said, I'll be using them and you'll see me using them in future videos. Please post comments. Let me know what you think. Do you think they're any good? Have you got this product yourself? Have you got any other products from X-Vive? Also dislikes, you know, maybe you don't like certain features because...

You know, again a lot of these companies will watch videos like this and they love the feedback because for example there could be something that maybe you think they could change or something that's wrong in the product and then they'll look at this information and go do you know what that guy girl has got a very good point there we should have thought of that also maybe there's something that you'd like to say in a comment someone may come along from the company and go do you know what That's a great idea. We'll put that in the next product. They never know, they may get old. Hugo, thank you very much. And because of that, we've now got a better product and it is a 10 quid. Go buy yourself a drink. I don't know. Whatever. Who knows? Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for that. What can I say? Except again, I love the weight of them. You know, there's got to be a good battery in here. I think I said it's five hours, so that's not too bad.

From a mobile DJ's perspective, that's an evening, isn't it? 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12 o'clock. Again, in the past, what I have done if I've used these for speakers, I've plugged them in while they're being used. Don't really recommend that, but... Worst case scenario, it could be done. Having said that as well, when I've gone to a gig and I've used it for talking on the microphone, I've always had a backup just in case. But again, when you're on the mic, all you do is you turn it off. So you would turn this off here. Thank you for watching. Don't forget, leave us a comment. Let me know what you think. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
