Here's what Line 5 say about the XD-V55 family

For vocalists, performers and active spoken word presenters, the XD-V55 family sets new standards for reliability, ease of use and superior audio quality. All XD-V55 systems – both handheld and bodypack – feature patented digital technologies that deliver sound so impressive they inspire confident, great sounding performances. Including a handheld system featuring four superb microphone models, a lavalier system with three EQ filter models and a headset featuring a high-end omnidirectional microphone capsule, the XD-V55 family is the right choice. The mic modeling delivers great sound, which remains pristine from your lips to your audience’s ears thanks to the 24-bit performance. DCL™ (Digital Channel Lock) technology keeps your signal safe the entire time.

Four Spectacular Mic Models for Handheld Systems

For the professional vocalist, the XD-55 handheld system puts four superb microphone models right in your hand, including three that are based on the world’s most popular live sound mics from Shure®, Sennheiser® and others. With the touch of a button on the microphone, you can find the mic model that best fits your unique voice.

Onboard EQ Filter Modelling Technology for Bodypack Systems

For vocalists, musicians, performers and active spoken word presenters who require hands-free operation, XD-V55 bodypack systems offer three EQ filter models that enable fast access to professionally tailored sounds.  Mic placement is no longer a variable – on collar, chest or cheek, or even plugging an instrument into the transmitter – the custom EQ filter models will help to optimize the system performance to the situation.

Full-frequency, Uncompressed, 24-bit Audio

Every performer knows that when you sound your best, you perform with confidence. The unique versatility and reliability of XD-V55 systems ensure a great performance every time you hit the stage.

Featuring 24-bit precision for a full frequency response of 10Hz to 20kHz and a wide dynamic range of up to >117dB (A weighted), XD-V55 digital wireless signals are so clear and strong that they sound and perform as if you’re using a wired microphone.

Unlike analog wireless systems, XD-V55 digital wireless systems never use signal companding to compress and expand the signal, so you always have full dynamic range. XD-V wireless systems allow you to convey every nuance of your performance to the audience in the most natural way, with crystal clarity. In addition to preventing unintentional handling noise, the adjustable dynamic filter reduces unwanted ambient noise, while preserving your natural vocal articulation.

Advanced Audio Protection

Line 6 digital wireless systems use exclusive digital technologies to protect their signals from interference that can wreak havoc on analog wireless systems. Encoded DCL™ (Digital Channel Lock) technology distinguishes XD-V55 digital audio from any other third-party signal, including Wi-Fi. This prevents audio interference from other 2.4GHz devices and ensures the highest signal integrity.

2.4GHz Broadcast — License-free, Worldwide

You may have noticed that some wireless microphones come with FCC warning labels. Line 6 digital wireless systems, including XD-V55, don’t need "FCC Consumer Alert" stickers because they're fully FCC compliant. XD-V digital wireless operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band, which avoids interference from TV broadcasts, white space devices, cell phone towers and other transmitting devices. XD-V55 systems ensure peace of mind and the most reliable operation worldwide, from Hollywood to Tokyo.

Worried about interference caused by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® devices that operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band? XD-V55 digital wireless systems use uniquely addressed and encoded digital transmission technology, so your signal will travel from transmitter to receiver free of interference.

4th-generation Digital Wireless Technology

Since its debut, Line 6 digital wireless technology has racked up awards and proven that analog wireless technology is no longer the only option. Now in its fourth generation, Line 6 digital wireless technology is the most mature in the market and continues to set standards in simplicity and performance.

One-step Setup

Like all Line 6 digital wireless systems, XD-V55 systems are incredibly easy to set up. Simply pick any of the six always-available channels and the transmitter and receiver lock together – job done.

Consistent Signal Integrity up to 300 Feet

At ten feet away or at the full extent its range, XD-V digital wireless systems deliver the same, consistent, dependable signal quality. Unlike analog wireless systems, there’s no increased risk of interference or degradation in signal as you move further from the receiver. You can perform with full confidence, right up to the range limits of your XD-V system.

Mix, Match and Use up to 12 Simultaneous Systems

Ideal for solo performers through full bands with multiple vocalists, XD-V55 systems allow for up to twelve XD-V55 systems to be used simultaneously. Simply set each system to a different channel and you’re ready to go, free of cross-channel interference between performers.

Designed for applications where you need to interchange different types of mics, the XDV-55 family supports handhelds, lavaliers, headsets and instruments within the same digital wireless system. Because both models in the XD-V55 family have the same digital wireless receiver, mixing and matching is now a one-step setup process.

Battery and Signal Status

XD-V55 systems feature clearly display essential system information - including battery and signal status - on the transmitter and receiver units. The handheld and bodypack transmitters let you select your channel and mic or EQ filter model, and give you an instant check on battery level. The receiver features a bright, five-segment LED for constant signal and battery status.

Solid Construction

Every XD-V55 system is built to tour-grade standards for rock-solid performance night after night. The receiver and bodypack transmitter are constructed of robust aluminium and polycarbonate. The handheld transmitter is constructed of a tough yet lightweight polycarbonate for durability that feels solid in your hands without being too heavy.
