Plug-and-play wireless for guitars and basses

The Xvive U2 is a wireless guitar system, presented here in a futuristic silver finish, that provides an affordable and high-quality solution for guitarists and bassists who want to lose the cables and go wireless, thus saving space, time, and nerves. Both the transmitter and the receiver are extremely compact, easily fitting into any pocket or gigbag – and into any 1/4" jack input. In true plug-and-play tradition, setting up the system is very straightforward. The Xvive U2 system operates at 24-bit/48kHz resolutions over the globally license-free 2.4GHz ISM band. With a range of up to 21 metres and a battery life of five hours, it gives performers on-stage complete freedom.

XVive U2, Wireless System for Guitar and Bass

Easy setup

The Y-USB cable provided allows the batteries of the transmitter and receiver to be simultaneously charged in about an hour and a half. Setting up the system is then very straightforward. Initially, a flashing blue LED indicates which of the four available channels is being used. Once the blue LED lights up continuously, this signifies that a connection has been established. If multiple U2 pairs are used, the channels can be set accordingly. The U2 can be used to replace any 1/4" instrument cable, whether connecting to a pedalboard or an amplifier. The 24-bit/48kHz AD conversion offers a great dynamic range and sound quality, perfectly capturing subtle nuances and overtones with an almost imperceptible latency of 6 milliseconds. Even playing with the volume pot feels natural with the Xvive U2 wireless system.

Welcome to the wireless world

Both affordable and easy to use, the Xvive U2 wireless system provides an ideal entry point into the world of wireless playing. Even on a small stage, being free of cables can really pay off, such as when indulging in a bit of audience mingling. Those wary of cumbersome wireless transmission systems, often awkward to mount and then play around, need not worry: They'll find the compact U2 system is a pleasure to use. The devices are not much longer than the jack itself, and can be freely rotated through 280°, so they stay out of the way at all times. Moreover, the Xvive U2 is not limited to live gigs. Many guitarists and bassists develop a taste for practicing, improvising, and even writing cable-free!

About Xvive Audio

Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.

Handy and flexible

The Xvive U2 wireless system can be used to replace any 1/4" jack instrument cable. Both the transmitter and receiver have a 280° hinge, so they seamlessly adapt to any instrument, amplifier, interface or effects pedal. Even ST-style inputs on guitars pose no problem. With the wide frequency response, which extends down to 20Hz, five-string or six-string basses will be well-served too. Electro-acoustic guitars can also benefit from this system, although caution is advised when using unshielded preamp inputs, since interference might occasionally occur. With four switchable channels, each member of the band can use their own U2 system. Similarly, one guitarist who switches between several instruments on stage need only use multiple transmitters sending to the same receiver unit.

Easy to use all the time!

Erky32 27.05.2017

Already use an AKG system for gigs, but was intrigued by the plug-and-play design of this system. Its brilliant, even round the house I use it - just plug one unit into any amp , and the other into any guitar and you're away. Its so easy just to swap from one rig or guitar to another, easier than a cable in my view!! I havent noticed any appreciable change in sound between ordinary cable & this radio so thats a plus. I've used it for several small gigs without issue - of course the freedom of being wireless goes without saying - but the added freedom this has to quickly switch guitars between songs is a bonus. Charging takes about 2hrs, but they last for more than a gig, usually around 5hrs. For quality I've deducted a mark because the first unit I returned because , altho they performed well, the leds didnt indicate as quoted. The replacements had a similar problem, but given the convenience of the unit I discussed and settled the issue with Thomann to mutual satisfaction. But I've had mine in continuous use now for around 2 months and they are great to use. Recommended.

It is not expensive - do not expect too much

This set never made it to a stage before being returned. I wanted a convenient radio link for an acoustic electric to be rid of the dangling cable. But first and foremost for me with ANY accessories, pedals, whatever, is sonic fidelity.

Like ALL radio systems the sound takes on a harder edge than a cable, perhaps due to buffers in the circuit - much like Boss FX pedals when in bypass mode. Piezo pickup equipped acoustic guitars already have a hard time sounding sweet and this radio just aggravates that problem. Not this radio in particular, I hasten to add, because I have A/B'd it with quite a few. But they are all the same.

However, there is another issue with these very convenient plug-in dongles. This is the second one I tried and it has the same problem as the first one. Because the dongle has more mass than a jack plug on a cable, it is susceptible to causing really nasty 'dirty connection' type noise periodically as the dongle jack rotates or moves in the jack socket.

It may well be that the jack socket Gretsch fitted has a very slightly larger diameter than all others, thus permitting movement that is sufficient to occasionally and momentarily break the circuit in the same way a dirty connection would.

I prefer to use a strap mounted transmitter with a normal jack plug.

They work quite well with a reasonable distance. However, sometimes there is the slightest of delays, almost not noticeable. If you are looking for absolute perfection, don't buy these.

Used without a hitch for over a year

AllTheGoodNamesWereAlreadyTaken 09.11.2018

I nearly didn't leave a review for these because I bought them ages ago - but thought it would be useful to someone to know that I've used these very frequently and they've been solid as. Not one single crackle, jitter, stumble, shut down or cut out. I was worried about the build quality thinking I'd best carry a spare jack (and I still do) but only needed to use it twice because I wasn't keeping track of the battery. Whilst 5 hours or whatever it is is great - don't do what I do and add your stage times together over a few gigs if you forget to turn them off during your breaks haha. I'd invest in a small USB power bank to use as a backup that can be ran to a charge cable and stored in your pocket. I've considered even velcroing one to the inside of my acoustic - but I'd probably forget to charge that too!
The good thing about these is that both transmitter and receiver are USB and quite standard cables so they can be sourced in a venue unlike some 9v equivalent systems.
