Wasn't expecting a whole lot for the price but this little unit works quite well and is quiet too. I needed this for my home studio setup but I believe it would work fine for gigging too. Zsounds delivered it very fast and the ordering and communications was first class all the way. Profesional 30 year guitar studio muscian. I will put zZsounds first on my list for my musical needs. Have not needed any support so far KUDOS too zZsounds and AKG for making a sweet little unit.

Musical Background:

Forty years on Guitar and Keyboards Profesional Studio muscian for 30 of those.

Musical Style:

Rock both Vintage and 80's through 2012.

We bought 2 of these for both guitar players in our band and they work very nicely. No drop outs at all no matter where you are in the venue, I tried them out before we ever used them live and I could go outside and 50 feet away with the unit in my basement and no signal loss at all. Battery life is unbelievable as well. I used the same battery for 4 gigs and I check it with my VOM before each show and it had a full charge. The only problem is the cable that comes with the unit. Both of them had an issue after the 1st use so we ordered 2 Mogami replacement cables on line and they are way better and we have no issues now at all. For the price, ease of use and quality it is a no brainer. They work very well for us.

Musical Background:

Professional musicians, playing for over 30 yrs

Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Blues, you name it we can play it.

Great little unit! I also purchased the rack kit for it. I out it in the top space of my rack, so the antennae extends above the rack for the best reception. Then the antennae is on a swivel so I just put it down when I close the rack up. I play bass in a weekend band. I have used this wireless for 3 gigs now with no trouble or dropouts whatsoever. I'm nit sure about the "30 hour" battery life though. I used it for 2 4 hour gigs, then it sat for a month, in the off position, and when I got to the next gig, the battery died as I was tuning for the gig, so carry some extra batteries with you. I think I am going to order the dual wireless mic system next for the pa system I am building mainly for rehearsals. I am totally satisfied though, and for 100 bucks you can't beat it!

"The AKG WMS40 Works"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Very nice device. I particularly like the 3-way (off, mute, and on) switch on the transmitter. Very handy receiver setup too. I have used it several times in performances, and it performed well. Remember, though; the transmitter has no automatic turn-off. I inadvertently left it on and trashed a battery. Fortunately, this is no big deal because it uses AAA, not 9V. Regarding my ratings - I have not idea what Manufacturer Support is like. The questionnaire did not give me an 'unknown' option, so I assigned it a 3.

Musical Background:

Over 4 decades of experience. Playing professionally.

Musical Style:

Broadly Americana from country to jazz with lots of originals.

"Cable no more"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It works really good. I am pleased by the product, the fact that it sounds real close to using a cable, no delay no hiss just freedom to move and not trip. Transmitter is made of plastic and doesn't feel real strong but that it carefully and it should be fine, I put it in my back pocket or on the guitar strap.

Musical Background:

Playing four years. Electric and acoustic guitar with my band, at home, where ever I can.

Researched a bunch of inexpensive wireless sets for use in my home studio and occasional gigs. Settled on the AKG WMS40 based on strong recommendations from other users. Ordered from ZZounds before 2 one day, and had it the next day (ground shipped; not express)! Amazing service. Unit is "as advertised", absolutely plug and play; no clicks, hum, dropouts to report so far. No change in guitar or bass tone from a wired connection as far as I can hear. Very impressive and liberating! Encourage your inner rock star and buy this thing!

Musical Background:

Been playing over 50 years. Play guitar, bass, keyboards; played in bar bands over 15 years, now record & write songs

Musical Style:

Progressive rock, with a classic rock flavor.

Actually "plug & play" (no hype!); This is a ridiculously inexpensive way to go wireless.Works as advertised; No fidelity loss experienced between guitar and pedalboard so far for me.. Send unit (guitar side) probably a bit too delicate for long term professional use, but very adequate if care is taken. Belt clip is very flimsy and user would probably be better off just dropping the unit in your pocket instead of clip mounting. Battery life (1 X AA) is very good and range for me is good up to about 35' away from receiver. Very liberating!! Buy one now!!

Musical Background:

Have played over 50 years; play guitar, bass, keyboards; now "hobbyist" and play out 2-3 times a year

Musical Style:

Rock, alternative rock
