Manufacturer's Description for AKG WMS 450 Headset UHF Wireless System with CK555L Headset
The AKG WMS 450 Headset is your best choice for speaking applications calling for a solution that is more flexible than a simple plug-and-play system yet easy to set up and operate. The WMS 450 Headset provides cost-efficient, high-performance solutions for situations where several radio mics will be used simultaneously, including gigs at small clubs, small stages, or regional events. Using several single-channel systems has its limitations and may simply be too much for the available radio band.
Features
- Highly flexible wireless system, ready for immediate use and scalable for demanding applications - Outstanding rugged finish for pocket-transmitter - Best in class frequency response - sounds as good as a wired connection - Excellent signal to noise ratio - Varimotion diaphragm for better sound and gain before feedback - 50 mW output means best-in-class interference protection - 6 hours on a single AA battery - Charging systen - Professional antenna - 18 simultaneous preset channels per band, with 3 bands available
Wire-Free and Hands-Free
The AKG WMS 450 Headset is perfect for any situation where not only do you need to be wireless, but hands free as well. That's why we adapted our renowed WKS 450 system to work with the C555L headworn microphone. Perfect for presenters, vocalists, churchs - anywhere that a normal handheld just won't cut it.
New Low Price
60% more powerful than ANY other wireless in it's class. The WMS 450 Headset system features high output 50mw transmitters while others in it's class offer only 30mw (some even only 12mw). The WMS 450 Headset features the kind of power you'd typically find on systems costing thousands of dollars.
Auto Frequency Wizard makes the WMS 450 Headset easy to use in any environment. Not only can you use up to a possible 36 simultaneous channels of the WMS 450 Headset, but the Auto-Frequency Wizard makes sure your system is interference free by automatically looking for the best frequency to use.
Great Battery Management
Be lean and green with the longest operating time in class: 6 hours using 1 x AA dry battery or 8 hours using our nickel metal hydride rechargeable "smart battery". Plus, AKG is the only manufacturer at this price point to include charging contacts on our transmitters for drop-in use with the CU400 2 system charger.
Best In Class
Yeah, we know. The "best sound in class" is a subjective statement but with the widest frequency response and highest dynamic range along with the lowest self noise of any product in it's price range...we don't know how else to say it.
Consumer Alert Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change.

"Very good product with the right features at a fair price."
Sound:
I gave the product an 8 because I haven't used it yet in a live setting. On the bench it performs very well.
Feature:
The most useful accessory is the manual. Many folks don't like to read them and as a result they create their own problems. I appreciate a real paper manual. The carrying case that came with the unit is also very good and protects the gear well.
Ease of Use:
With a frequency-agile wireless mike, you have to program the unit for proper frequencies. While not trivial, follwoing the manual was straightforward. You also need to set the miie gain at the body pack transmitter carefully to avoid overload.
Quality:
I'm not a "roady" guy so I can't judge how well it would hold up under abuse. The body pack case is plastic (what isn't?) so if you drop an amp on it, it's gone. Initial quality seems very good however.
Value:
I would say this product is very worth it's selling price. As a blem unit, it was a killer deal.
Manufacturer Support:
This comment is directed to zzounds, not necessarily AKG. They wer fantastic. I had bought a blem, and the only the only problem was that a small plastic piece was mising from the headset mike. ZZounds said "no problem" and sent me a whole new mike. Oveer the top support. I have no experience with AKG as yet in this area, so no opinion.
The Wow Factor:
I didn't buy it for its sex appeal; in fact a wireless mike should be heard and not seen. The headset is certainly not invisible, but it was designed more for fitness instructors than musicians (I'm a class presenter).
Overall:
This will do as long as I need a single mike for presentations. I might like to add a companion hand-held mike for audience comments.
Style of Music: Vocal music--all styles
