The HT 40 handheld transmitter is an excel-
lent choice for both handheld and stand-
mounted use. Handheld microphones are also
suited for applications where more than one
person will talk into the microphone, such as
talk shows or interviews with people in the
audience.
The design specification for the WMS 40
Series lists the best possible audio quality as
the number one priority. The result explains
the success of the WMS 40 system. This UHF
wireless microphone system has been opti-
mized for use in smaller venues such as clubs,
rehearsal rooms, or local community centers,
is easy to use, and provides outstanding
price/performance.
The heart of the HT 40 handheld transmitter
is the AKG D 880
M
microphone element that
delivers both an excellent sound and very good
intelligibility. This microphone element uses
the same transducer as the hot-selling, proven
AKG D 880
M
hardwire microphone. Made at
the AKG factory in Vienna, Austria, each trans-
ducer must pass extremely stringent quality
tests before being approved for shipping. This
is another reason why both professional and
amateur vocalists appreciate this transducer.
It guarantees excellent results from the start
and is almost indestructible.
With its compact, rack-mountable receiver,
the AKG WMS 40 is an easy-to-use, conveni-
ent wireless system, and once you tried it you
won't want to do without it anymore.
Excellent response
The HT 40 handheld transmitter uses the
proven AKG D 880
M
microphone element.
This dynamic transducer has been specifi-
cally designed for lead and backing vocals
and helps even less experienced vocalists
to make themselves heard. An integrated
wind and pop screen effectively reduces
breath and pop noise as well as sibilance.
It is easy to remove the windscreen from
the front grill for cleaning.
HANDHELD MICS FOR LEAD AND BACKING VOCALS
AKG WMS 40 UHF FOR VOCALS
Massive front grill
An extremely rugged spring steel wire-mesh cap optimally
protects the transducer capsule beneath it from damage in
tough night-after-night usage on stage. The proven AKG
D 880 microphone element easily survives a drop from
approx. 3 1/2 feet (1 m) to a hard stone floor. It has been
designed to take the kind of abuse usually encountered on
tour.
ON/MUTE/OFF switch
The absolutely noiseless ON/MUTE/
OFF switch with its knurled lever is
recessed in the body to prevent
unintentional actuation and en-
sure maximum operational safety.
Replaceable color code clip
The color code clip indicates the carrier
frequency of the transmitter, and you can
replace the colored clip with an inconspi-
cuous black replacement clip if and when
the need arises.
Integrated antenna
The antenna is hidden inside the rugged
transmitter body for optimum protection
from damage.
Battery status LED
With a minimum battery life of 35 hours,
the HT 40 gives you more hours of fun
per dollar than most of its competitors.
And if the battery status LED illuminates
after all, don’t panic: you still got
50 minutes before the batteries are
dead so you can easily steal away for a
minute to replace them.
Rack mounting
Both the SR 40 and the SR 40 diversity can be used free-
standing or rack mounted. An optional rack mounting kit
allows you to install the receiver quickly and easily in any
19" rack. The half-rack, 1 U case lets you mount the recei-
vers for six channels in just 3 U of rack space.
