General

This combination is ideal for solo artists who enjoy using a handheld microphone and who detest using an instrument cable that runs across the stage. AKG have found a solution in the shape of this WMS40 Mini2 Dual microphone system. This set consists of a separate wireless handheld microphone, together with a bodypack transmitter with instrument connector plus a two-channel receiver. This compact system is very practical to use and operates with AKG's HDAP technology for ultimate audio processing and a realistic, natural sound.

Handheld microphone and bodypack
The elements of this duo pack operate in the ISM2 and ISM3 band, so that they won't disturb one another. AKG wouldn't be AKG if there wasn't something special about this set, however. In this case, the remarkable thing is the energy-saving construction of the handheld microphone and bodypack transmitter. Both can operate for 30 hours on a single AA battery! The bodypack also has a mini XLR connector, so that you can connect a Lavalier or tie-clip microphone. This means that the system can be used for all whole host of applications, despite its compact size!

Receiver of the WMS 40 Mini2
This two-channel receiver is fairly compact, just like the WMS40 microphone sets that came before. For every channel there is a separate antenna, volume control, transmission-strength indicator, clip limiter indicator and a balanced 6.35mm jack plug output available.

Used AKG C414 as stable voice recording mics in BBC radio recordings. This and the AKG headset teamed together to provide DJ and Choreographer PA for Line Dancing - not disappointed. Handheld mic produces a well rounded tone. Switch is a bit cheap but mute position does provide silent operation. Body pack transmitter is small - it too provides mute position on its switch. The receiver is small as well, with two balanced outputs - one per mic. The 30 hour usage on one set of batteries has yet to be tested - only had the set for two weeks. The only downside is no channel selection. The channel for each radio mic is preset. Never had problem with co-interference with my channel selectable Shure and Gemini radio mics but time will tell.

Ik heb dit setje nu een week, en wat is het heerlijk spelen zonder draad aan de gitaar, ik ben hier super blij mee. Ik pak mijn microfoonstandaard op en kan gewoon goed soundchecken in de zaal. Het geluid van de microfoon is ronduit superieur, beter zelfs dan van mijn sure sm58 met draad. De gitaarzender geeft af en toe een ruisje, maar volgens enkele reviews kan dat aan het kabeltje liggen, (nog niet geprobeerd te vervangen) al met al een hele goeie sound. ik heb een batterijpack van 8 oplaadbare AA batterijen (conrad.nl) aan de ontvanger gezet, zodat ik de set helemaal stand alone kan gebruiken met een roland cube street EX. Na zo,n 6 uur spelen zijn alle batterijen nog bijna vol, ook die van de mic en het beltpack. groot compliment aan AKG, en fijn dat BAX hem redelijk snel kon leveren.

Voor het geld een prima-set. Heeft wel degelijk gebalanceerde uitgangen (Jack).
Houdt er wel rekening mee dat de frequentie NIET instelbaar is. Dus meerdere setjes tegelijk gebruiken gaat niet.

mooi setje voor een zeer redelijke prijs. Ik gebruik de beltpack met een dasspeld microfoon, en dit gaat ook prima. Soms wel wat last een storingkje als de batterij leger wordt. even een flitsje sneeuw. bij tijdige vervanging niks aan de hand!

Let op, hier zitten geen aansluitkabels bij. en jammer dat er geen balanced outputs aan zitten, voor de professionele gebruiker. Aan de andere kant, De professionele gebruiker zal sneller over stappen naar de sr45 voor meer flexibiliteit met kanalen instellen.
