AKG

Description

The WMS 40 Mini instrumental systems features AKG's unique HDAP (High Definition Audio Performance) technology ensures the best possible, most realistic sound at any time. The system includes an SR 40 MINI receiver, a PT 40 MINI pocket transmitter, a MKG L instrument cable, a universal power supply with US/UK/EU adapter, and one AA size dry battery.

The SR 40 Mini receiver provides three status LEDs indicating ON/OFF status, received signal strength (RF OK), and audio clipping (AF CLIP). The VOLUME control sets the level at the ¼" output jack. The supplied switched mode power supply operates on any AC voltage from 110 to 240 VAC and includes EU, UK, and US adapters.

The PT 40 Mini bodypack is probably the smallest and lightest transmitter in its class. A reliable mini XLR output allows you to connect every compatible AKG miniature microphone. A single AA size battery will do to power both the transmitter and a condenser microphone connected to it. Battery life of the transmitter is the same legendary "30 hours off a single AA battery" as for the WMS 40 models, reducing the need to replace batteries and thus saving real money in the long run.

Important Review

Ok so I read a lot of reviews and I purchased this product anyways since I can fix many issues with things myself and for 99 buck or less if you have a coupon, you can get an good, stable, performance quality, wireless setup. That being said. Make sure you do the following. when you unwrap the cable, pull on the metal strain relief spring away from the connector as to full engage the spring into the back of the housing. When it arrived I did not do that and I experienced ALL of the issues in the negative reviews. I dismantled the connectors and noted that the cable was of reasonable quality and the soldering was not too bad, after reassembling the connectors I found that the spring if not properly seated in the back will actually crate a connection or variable resistance from the signal to the ground. It was as easy as pulling on the springs and I was very satisfied with product since then nice range no complaints.

unit is noisy

This unit is unacceptable and I took it back after an hour. It makes hissing and fizzing sounds, pops, and scratchy sounds as well. Other flaws: 1. Ridiculous mini xlr connector instead of standard 1/4 inch. 2. Unnecessary volume control on the receiver; this thing should not affect volume any more than a cord would. 3. No detailed manual available, even on line.

    I bought this system based on reviews and price. It is HIGHLY susceptible to RF interference, so much so that I am unable to find any use for it in my situation. I live in Indianapolis, and tried this in two locations in town and one on the outskirts. No success at all. I'll be returning/exchanging for either another frequency unit or a different brand in my price range, that being about $100US. I would no buy again, not would I recommend it. I believe digital may be the only solution, so I'm looking at used X2 and Line 6 systems. Also considering Intelligence and a new Bluetooth based rig that would never have interference issues. It's only downfall is rechargable batteries that lack the life for a gig, but it's cheap, and the tech may really save me.
