XVive Wireless System U2 Gold

The Y-USB cables provided allow 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 U2s 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 24bit/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 and feels natural with the XVive U2 Gold Guitar Wireless System.

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.
