WMS 40 - The Professional Entry-Level Wireless System
Looking for superior sound on a budget? The professional WMS 40 is for you. This entry-level wireless system operates in the UHF range and is ideal for small stages, clubs, concert tours, worship centers, hotels, fitness centers, etc. The WMS 40 stands for easy handling, excellent performance, and a very affordable price.

Wireless Made Easy
The WMS 40 disproves all prejudices against wireless systems. Easy to use and flexible, it is a genuine plug-and-play system: plug it in, insert batteries, and power up. Fixed preset frequencies allow you to unpack and use the system without studying the manual first. A complete set of indicators makes it easy to check system status.

Superior Sound Made Affordable
Even though the WMS 40 is one of the most cost-efficient wireless systems available today, it provides the high level of quality, sound, ruggedness, and reliability AKG is known for. Advanced circuitry ensures smooth operation and perfect sound even under difficult conditions.

Handheld or Bodypack, the Choice is Yours
The Handheld System includes an HT 40 handheld transmitter with D 880 microphone element, an SR 40 receiver, and a stand adapter. The high quality D 880 element provides the same brilliant vocal sound as its hardwire Emotion Series counterpart. The Bodypack System comprises a PT 40 transmitter for use with an optional microphone of your choice and an SR 40 receiver. Either system includes batteries for the transmitter and an AC adapter for the receiver.

SR 40 Diversity
The SR 40 diversity is a stationary receiver for all WMS 40 and microtools Series transmitters. Operating in the 710 MHz to 865 MHz UHF range, the SR 40 diversity is perfectly suited for small stages, clubs, small touring systems, places of worship, hotels, gyms, etc. The plug and play concept and fixed preset frequency let you set up and operate the system quickly and efficiently even if you are not a trained sound engineer.

Professional outputs include a balanced XLR and unbalanced TS 1/4 in. jack for connecting to every kind of equipment. An output level control allows you to match the SR 40 diversity's output signal to the input stage of the subsequent device. The rugged half-rack case gives you the choice of using the receiver free-standing or mounting it in a 19 in. rack.

Features:
Digital Four Level Diversity system for interference-free reception

Rugged metal case

Full metering for easy status monitoring

Professional XLR and 1/4 in. outputs

GB 40 Guitarbug
The GB 40 guitarbug is probably the easiest way to turn a guitar, bass, or portable keyboard into a wireless instrument.
The FlexJack swivel jack plug will mate with any type of output jack and is spring loaded to hold the GB 40 securely against the instrument. In addition, the GB 40 is so small it is almost invisible and won't be in your way while playing. Since the GB 40 sits right on top of the instrument's output jack, the noiseless on/mute/of switch and gain control are always within easy reach. Integrated charging contacts allow you to charge the battery quickly and easily on the optional CU 40 charging unit, without having to remove the battery.

Features:
FlexJack swivel jack plug matching every guitar output

Extended frequency response optimized for guitar and bass

Integrated charging contacts

Optional CU 40 charger for reduced operating cost
