New Product from Xvive! Trying Out the U7 Saxophone and Trumpet Wireless System!

2025-01-04

We just had our annual company party the other day!
The highlight of the party was a live performance by an employee band, in which I participated as a trumpeter. This event was a great opportunity for me to try out the wireless system that I had been curious about.

Here is what I played on this time.

Xvive / U7 Saxophone and Trumpet Wireless System

This new product from Xvive is a brand supported by many musicians!
This is a clip-type wireless microphone for saxophone, trumpet, and trombone.

As a former member of a brass band, I am not used to even blowing into a microphone. I have no experience at all in using a wireless microphone.
There are many things I am concerned about, such as sound quality, sound interruption, weight, and so on. Here is a review from a beginner's point of view.

When I opened the box with high anticipation, this special case appeared.

As I open it,

Ta-dah!
It fits nicely into the mold.

By the way, in the left pocket,

there is a replacement sponge/fur windscreen in addition to the instruction manual and charging cable.

Now, let's take out the wireless unit.
First, the receiver. It is easy to operate, just click the “POWER” button and select a channel with the round button.

Next, the transmitter.
This is also easy to operate, just press and hold the power button, and then use the CH button to select a channel.

The clip and microphone are attached to this transmitter.

The first thing to note here is the orientation of the clips! I mistakenly put it in upside down at first. ......
The orientation shown in the image is correct, so slide the clip in while making sure it is facing the right way.

Next, attach the microphone. Again, be careful to insert the jack deep into the microphone until it clicks into place. I had trouble getting sound at first, but it was due to this common mistake…

Once you are done, all you have to do is to insert the bell!

I was a bit concerned about the weight, which is light at 35g, so I don't mind wearing it at all. The clip has a strong grip, so it doesn’t slip off even when the bell is bounced around.

Since it is a gooseneck type, the position of the microphone can be changed freely. It can be finely adjusted to match the angle and size of the bell, so you can fix it in the optimal position for you.

If you take it to the very extreme

or move it away like this,

you can also bring it very close.

When I played it at an in-house party, there were no interruptions in sound at all. The sound quality was just as I would expect from Xvive, and the performance was unashamed of its claim to be a super high quality sounding microphone! Thanks to this, I felt no discomfort at all when I was playing it, and I was able to complete the performance without any problems!

As a first-time wireless user, the biggest advantage I found was that the position of the bell is not fixed. I believe that not only wind instruments but also other musical instruments are played with the whole body, so being able to play freely without forgetting that a microphone is attached is a big advantage.

By the way, in addition to the U7 I introduced here, I also have a diverse lineup of other products to suit your needs such as

The highly popular guitar/bass and

Xvive / XV-U2

Dynamic microphones that transform into wireless and

Xvive / XV-U3

Camera use

Xvive / Xvive U6 Compact Wireless Mic System

In addition, this wireless mic for camera can also be connected to a smartphone by using a conversion adapter.

And, in addition to the wireless system for wind instruments I introduced here, the U8 Acoustic Guitar Wireless System for acoustic guitar and the U9 Violin Wireless System for violin have been newly added to the lineup.

All of them can be connected easily to enjoy high-quality sound!
I recommend the U7 Saxophone and Trumpet Wireless System for a wide variety of players, as well as for those who are trying wireless music for the first time!

I played trumpet in a brass band. Of course I love brass bands, but I also love small ensembles. I studied wind instrument repair at a technical college and tried my hand at playing in a big band, but I am still struggling to produce a jazz-like sound. I am a bit swamped, probably because I used to go to Disneyland regularly, and I go there once a month.
