Great video Tom, can you give a better solution on how to send seperate mix to each musician with the Xvive set up, as not sure how this can be done, can you give a simple breakdown & what I would need & do.
The things you need to send separate mixes to different musicians: 1. Laptop(or anything that serves as a UI with a decent DAW). 2. Digital mixer(usually has multiple outs that can be set with different tracks and mixes through DAW). 3. IEM system(XVIVE U4 or others). 3. Either use a line splitter to send your band's sound to the laptop(for your in-ear mixes) and to front of house(for the live sound) simultaneously. Or just get the feed directly from front of house and into the laptop.
Would it be possible to have two signals on the transmitter? Like with a Y cable? The idea is to have one route from the table with the band's mix without bass and the other route connects directly to the d.i. from my amp, which would allow me to control the bass volume, is this possible?
Great quality for the price but the biggest downfall is only being able to practically use two out of the 6 channels or else you run into interference issues. There is just not enough bandwidth to protect more than 2 to 3 max channels
Question, can you assign each receiver a different “channel” so each can use something like the Q32 app to tweak what they want to get through their mix, or is it more of everyone hears the same mix?
When performers have different monitoring needs, they can set up multiple transmitters. If the receiver is set to the channel corresponding to the transmitter, the audio can be received. That mean the channel of receiver is same with channel of transmitter. Or create mute rehearsal system.
can i buy 2 other recievers for my other band members and add to this u4r4? hope there will be no issues seeing these are stand alone recivers. please answer as it will be my first time buying in-ear monitors
Yes, you can just set the same channel and receive the signal from that channel. However, the receiver can only be the same brand, not other brands because other brands have different communication protocols.
Thank you for the review. One question, I have a Behringer XR18. If I plug into one of the monitor outs on it, can I still get mono in both earpieces? I just I am asking if there are setting on the mixer or U4?
The transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel, so they can connect. But the receiver can only connect one transmitter at the same time. One transmitter can send the signal to multiple receivers. If you have any further questions, pls feel free to contact us.😊
I bought the product today and it arrived. I tried it on my focusrite sound card, but the sound has an annoying sizzle. Any ideas as to why? Otherwise I will have to return it.
Thanx for demonstration of the sound and noise!
You were very impressed? No shit. This is the Xvive youtube channel. Like you'd voice your displeasure for it.

Note that you would need separate transmitter-receiver pairs for every member if you want different mixes for everyone.

Thank you for sharing!
You should have summed your stereo feed to mono for a better comparison. Got the idea though.

I think you can easily use this system to make some amplified pa speakers go wireless
Yeah, I've seen them done beft
Before*
Do your recommend this to use for click_tracks for a band of 4 members?
Thank you for the review. One question, I have a Behringer XR18. If I plug into one of the monitor outs on it, can I still get mono in both earpieces? I just I am asking if there are setting on the mixer or U4?
U4 transmitter input is mono,both the left and right channel are the same on the receiver.
If we buy the standard version 1 transmitter and 1 receiver, can we add more receivers?
The transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel, so they can connect. But the receiver can only connect one transmitter at the same time. One transmitter can send the signal to multiple receivers. If you have any further questions, pls feel free to contact us.😊

Sorry about the inconvenience, pls contact support@xviveaudio.com
Will you be able to hear separate custom mixes in the receivers? Or will it be the same mix in all of them?
Same mix in all of them. In order to have separate mixes you would need the model that has a separate transmitter per individual receiver.
Hi, is the Xvive frequency 24khz because our church is many devices with 24khz which may interfere the Xvive . Thanks.
U4 operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band
Make it so it can be plugged in with a DC cable, and with AA batteries on the pack.
I don’t trust batteries long term.
Does it work for 1 transmitter and 6 receivers?
Yes, 1 U4 transmitter can work with 6 receivers.☺
Can I use 1 Xvive U4 transmitter and 15 receivers connected to that 1 transmitter? Thanks!
Of course you can.
Of course you can.
I’m having trouble connecting 2 channels to the transmitter can anyone help??
Pls contact support@xviveaudio.com
Stay away from xvive. Won't last for more than 1 year, awful support and a terrible experience for the price you pay.
I’m returning mine! Nothing but break ups and distortions! Junk!
