The Xvive U4 was designed to meet a very practical need: switching to in-ear monitoring without adding bulk with racks, antennas, and complex settings. Its ultra-compact format and "plug in, select a channel, play" approach make it a particularly convenient solution for traveling bands, shared stages, music schools, or gigs where setup time is limited. Within the U4 range, this pack with two receivers is the ideal balance for a duo (or two band members) wanting to receive the same monitoring mix.
This set is aimed at musicians and technicians who want reliable and quick in-ear monitoring: drummers, singers, guitarists, keyboardists, stage musicians in general, as well as content creators and home studio setups looking to free themselves from cables. The transmitter typically connects to a console output (monitor mix), then broadcasts the signal to the two belt-pack receivers, where you plug in your in-ear monitors or headphones. Since the system is mono, it is perfectly suited for a simple, clear, and effective monitor mix.
The U4 transmits a 24-bit / 48 kHz digital signal, with a frequency response rated from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 107 dB. The result: detailed monitoring with good clarity of attacks and nuances, useful for tuning accuracy, dynamics, and rhythmic placement, even at moderate volume.
Latency is critical in in-ear monitoring. Here, it stays under 5 ms, allowing for a direct feel, especially important for drummers, singers, and all musicians sensitive to the delay between action and sound.
The U4 operates in the 2.4 GHz band with 6 selectable channels. This facilitates adaptation on stages where multiple wireless systems coexist. Usage is simple: choose a channel on the transmitter, set both receivers to the same channel, then adjust each musician's volume individually.
Depending on your source, you can select an AUX input mode (convenient for lower levels from consumer devices) or LINE mode (for consoles, interfaces, and professional audio gear). This is a real advantage for switching between setups without fiddling with levels.
The transmitter and receivers include rechargeable batteries, rated for 5 hours of autonomy. Charging is via 5V USB, and the system can remain operational during charging, which is handy between soundchecks, rehearsals, or recordings.
