The XVive P58R is more than just a receiver – it is a true multi-functional tool for modern guitarists and bassists. Designed as the perfect companion to the XVive A58 Wireless Guitar System, it not only delivers the instrument signal to the amp with minimal latency, but also comes with a built-in precise chromatic tuner. Its rugged metal housing ensures reliable protection on stage or in the rehearsal room. A particularly clever touch is provided courtesy of the integrated buffer, which can be activated via a slider switch, helping to maintain clear highs and safeguard the purity of the signal even over longer cable runs. Thanks to its wireless scan feature, the XVive P58R automatically detects the optimum transmission frequency. All of this makes the XVive P58R a smart investment for any guitarist's – or bassist's – pedalboard.
The XVive P58R receives the wireless signal from the matching A58 transmitter and forwards the signal via high-quality 24-bit/48kHz conversion with less than 5ms latency. Covering the full frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz, it is ideal for both bass and guitar. The chromatic tuner can be activated at any time via footswitch, muting the signal just like a traditional tuner pedal. Two buttons allow the user to select the channels manually or to initiate an automatic scan, while the handy buffer can be engaged when needed, making the receiver a reliable solution even in more complex setups or with long signal paths. The USB-C port on the front panel is used solely for charging the matching transmitter; the XVive P58R itself is powered by a 12V power supply, which is not included with the tuner and must be ordered separately.
The XVive P58R is ideal for musicians already using the XVive A58 system or those looking to transition to a wireless setup without sacrificing signal quality. Live players who need fast access to accurate tuning will especially appreciate the tuner function in loud stage environments. Those who regularly switch between multiple guitars or use pedalboard setups will benefit from the switchable buffer that keeps the signal crisp. Thanks to its user-friendly design and compact size, the P58R is also an excellent choice for beginners. For musicians who want to go wireless while maintaining a linear signal, the XVive P58R offers a low-latency and high-resolution solution with minimal configuration effort.
Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio’s goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
In a live setup, the XVive P58R can be placed directly on the pedalboard as a central receiving station. It picks up the signal from the transmitter, offers a stable connection to the effects chain via its output, and also serves as a tuner, thereby rendering an additional tuner pedal unnecessary. The system's scan function automatically finds the best channel, making it ideal for varying environments and stage conditions. The XVive P58R is equally at home in the rehearsal room or home studio, allowing rapid switching between multiple instruments with different transmitters, and its switchable buffer compensates for long signal paths or tone-altering pedals. Users who are looking to keep their setup compact, wireless, and professional, will therefore find the XVive P58R to be a solid investment.
An often-overlooked feature of the XVive P58R is its built-in, switchable buffer. With a simple slider, users can choose whether the signal is buffered or passed on in its original state. When activated, the buffer provides a low-impedance output, which helps prevent the typical loss of high-end frequencies – especially over long cable runs or with passive pickups. This is a real advantage, especially when using vintage guitars or more complex effects setups. And if the user prefers a pure, unadulterated signal path, the buffer can simply be deactivated. This flexibility makes the P58R an excellent choice for a wide range of tonal preferences and playing environments.
