New AKG WMS420 wireless system, affordable and easy to use

The complete family consists of the SR 420 stationary receiver with removable external antennas, the HT 420 handheld transmitter and the PT 420 bodypack transmitter.

AKG has just launched its new WMS420 series on the market, which inherits AKG's superior technology and sound in a highly flexible, easy-to-use system that has the best features in its price range.

The WMS 420 series is suitable as a multi-channel solution for live music, and is also perfect as a solution for wireless microphones in the studio or at events. The complete family consists of the SR 420 stationary receiver with removable external antennas, the HT 420 handheld transmitter and the PT 420 bodypack transmitter.

Professional Features

The HT 420 handheld transmitter features the high-end D5 capsule found in higher AKG models. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback, as well as reduced handling noise.

Both transmitters (handheld and bodypack) incorporate a contact battery charging system, which avoids having to remove the batteries for charging. The WMS420 system is the only model on the market that incorporates this professional feature, among all systems in the same price range. Its great ease of configuration and use are also a point to take into account, especially for companies that offer sound services, but do not have tours and concerts as their main business.

On the other hand, thanks to its low maintenance cost, the WMS 420 system is very attractive for facilities and event companies.

The work area has been expanded thanks to the use of antennas optimized for its frequency range. The receiver's removable antennas allow the use of professional accessories, such as splitters and directional remote antennas for multi-channel systems.

At the range

The WMS 420 series products can be purchased in a receiver and command transmitter set with D5 capsule, or in three different sets with a bodypack transmitter: the headset set includes the C555L high-performance condenser microphone, which is ideal for applications that require freeing up your hands; Presenter set includes C417L professional lapel microphone; The guitar set includes an instrument cable. The new AKG WMS420 wireless systems are now available in Spain.
