The Xvive P58R Receiver/Tuner is the receiver half of the Xvive P58 Guitar Wireless System, built into a pedal format that also works as a high-precision chromatic tuner. The system pairs the receiver with the A58T Transmitter, and the P58R is available separately for $169.99 (US MAP) for players who want the receiver on its own1.
What it does
The P58R does two jobs at once. It receives the wireless signal from the A58T Transmitter as a True Diversity Receiver, and it acts as a high-precision chromatic tuner, so a wireless system and a tuner pedal take up one spot on the board instead of two1.
It can only be paired with the A58T Transmitter, so it is not a general-purpose receiver for other wireless systems1.
Bypass options
The receiver offers both True Bypass and Buffered Bypass settings, and Xvive positions them as ways to help optimize your signal1.
- True Bypass mode ensures that the tuner does not color your tone or load the signal when bypassed1.
- Buffered Bypass mode offsets the deterioration of your high-end when you are using long cable runs or extra-large pedalboards1.
In practice, the choice comes down to the board: a short signal path can run True Bypass, while a large board or long cable run benefits from the buffer.
Charging the transmitter over USB-C
The P58R has a USB-C port for charging the Transmitter. Since the Receiver is connected to power all the time during use, Xvive notes it is well-positioned to pass on some of that power, which means the transmitter can be topped up from the receiver while the system is in use1.
Questions
Can the P58R Receiver/Tuner be used with other Xvive wireless transmitters?
No. The P58R Receiver/Tuner can only be paired with the A58T Transmitter from the P58 Guitar Wireless System. It is available separately for players who want a spare or replacement receiver, but it is not a universal receiver for other Xvive wireless systems.
Should I use True Bypass or Buffered Bypass on the P58R?
That depends on your setup. True Bypass mode ensures the tuner does not color your tone or load the signal when bypassed. Buffered Bypass offsets the deterioration of your high-end when you are using long cable runs or extra-large pedalboards, so players with big boards may prefer the buffer.
