Although the many WMS 40 PRO FLEXX,
SINGLE, and DUAL Series systems cover
a wide range of applications, situations
may come up now and then that require
more specialized devices.
Frequent inquiries from users about
handsfree microphones, upgradability of
existing components, or maximum flexi-
bility prompted AKG to design the WMS
40 microtools. Packing an incredible
number of features into incredibly little
space, each microtool is a miracle of
miniature wireless technology.
The GB 40 guitarbug is probably the most
popular microtools Series transmitter.
Small wonder, for it is the ideal solution
for any guitarist or bass player who has
had enough of cables getting in the way.
All you need to do is plug it into the out-
put jack on your instrument and power up.
With a capacity of up to eleven hours, the
battery will outlast even the longest gig,
and the input gain control allows you to
match the audio input gain perfectly to
your pickup model and playing technique
to prevent overmodulation or dropouts.
And all this weighs less than even the
shortest of cables.
Talking about cables, many users of hard-
wire microphones may wish to go on stage
without having to worry about a cable. But
what if your favorite microphone is not or
no longer available in a wireless version?
Don't worry: the SO 40 snapon transmitter
simply connects to the XLR output on your
microphone, turning it into a handheld
transmitter on the spot. What's more, if
your microphone has no mute switch, you
can use the one on the transmitter!
Inspired by the snapon transmitter idea,
AKG engineers began to think again
about the hot selling Emotion and Tri-
Power Series microphones. The result is
as simple as it is surprising. Several dif-
ferent plug-in modules with or without an
on/off or gain and bass cut switches allow
these microphones to be used either in
hardwire mode (e.g., for miking up an
amplifier) or in wireless mode, simply by
plugging in the elegant TM 40 transmitter
module.
The MP 40 micropen is a highly versatile,
compact tool for all ENG applications as
well as for lecturers. The engineers and
designers at AKG achieved the incredible
feat of packing the combined features of a
lavalier microphone connected to a
remote wireless transmitter, a pen-size
clip-on microphone, and a handheld
microphone into a space as small as two
throwaway lighters. And, even more
incredibly, all this weighs no more than
36 grams (1.3 oz.).
All microtools can be used with all WMS
40 PRO Series receivers or the compact
PR 40 portable receiver. This receiver
continues the miniaturization begun by
the microtools transmitters. Although it is
as small as a conventional bodypack
transmitter, the battery operated PR 40
offers features that are considered
advanced even on stationary receivers:
diversity, two swiveling antennas, an
adjustable squelch, status LEDs, an out-
put level control, and a headphone out-
put.
Any combination of a microtool and PR 40
receiver could actually be called a "pocket
radio link" as you could put any microtools
Series transmitter and a portable receiver
in your coat pocket together. And the
entire system needs no power outlet,
either. Both the transmitters and the
portable receiver are battery powered, and
with a battery life of up to six hours for the
receiver and up to eleven hours for the
transmitter, there will be enough power for
jobs taking many hours on end.
The AKG WMS 40 microtools Series
stands for ultra-compact, ultra-portable
wireless technology.
