Line 6 made surprise first steps into the pro audio world of live event production with the release of its revolutionary XD-V70 and XD-V70L digital wireless microphone systems, being launched into European territories.

The industry leader in digital modeling technology for music-creation products, known for its guitars and related products, is the first company to develop digital wireless microphones that can be used anywhere in the world, licence free.

Exclusive Line 6 digital technologies enable professional singers, presenters and sound providers to take advantage of simple setup and operation, and the highest-quality audio and reliability available in wireless systems.

The XD-V70 digital wireless system includes a handheld cardioid microphone transmitter; XD-V70L includes a beltpack transmitter and professional miniature condenser lavalier microphone.  Both systems offer 12 channels, 100-metre ranges, and heavy-duty cast metal 1/2U rack receivers.

“XD-V70 and XD-V70L digital wireless systems give wireless performers what they’ve always wanted: interference-free wireless performance and high-quality audio from an easy-to use wireless system,” remarked Don Boomer, Microphone Product Line Manager at Line 6.  “And they can be used anywhere in the world, license free.”

DCL (Digital Channel Lock) technology provides an encoded digital transmission that governs against AF interference and audio artifacts.  New PDP (Proprietary Data Placement) technology delivers frequency diversity, which ensures reliable operation, even in hostile RF environments.

Even at the outer reaches of the 100-metre ranges, users will receive full audio quality: 10 Hz – 20 kHz AF frequency response, >120 dB dynamic range (115 dB with XD-V70), and 24-bit digital conversion.
XD-V70 features seven microphone models.  With the touch of a button, the user can select between the sounds of many of the world’s most sough-after live-sound microphones.

Easy to use, XD-V70 and XD-V70L broadcast in the 2.4GHz band (which successfully avoids interference from high-powered sources, and allows for licence-free worldwide use).  The systems also feature battery life metres, rack mount kits, built-in antenna distribution systems, and other time-, energy- and expense-saving innovations.

XD-V70 Digital Wireless Microphone System - MSRP £504.08 inc VAT.
XD-V70L Digital Wireless Beltpack Microphone System - MSRP £504.08 in VAT.
