AKG WMS 40 Mini Dual Vocal

Having previously owned a much more expensive Shure wireless microphone - I was looking for something to replace it when it finally gave up - so upon recommendation from a friend I ordered the AKG WMS 40 Mini Dual Vocal.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first opened the box at the build quality - but the real test was in their performance. Since using these over the past two weeks I have yet to find a room that challenges their range and as both mics are set to different frequencies this immediately eliminates running up against an in house system when travelling from venue to venue as I do.

I really only required one microphone but I simply couldn't say no to this bundle - as I now have a spare microphone to alternate or in case of accidental damage. They also run on AA batteries, giving up to 30 hours on one battery - and these smaller batteries are much more affordable than the square ones @ ¤5 a pop - which only had the same battery life also.

They deliver great quality sound for both speech and vocals - and I have yet to find fault with them. All in all I'm a very satisfied customer and I would definitely highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable wireless solution.

We found at last a solution for the cable spaghetti problem of our band. The usage of the AKG WMS 40 Mini Dual Vocal UHF Wireless-System is quite easy: connecting, switching on, ready. At first I had some doubts due to different stories told by our friends about interferences, crosstalks and weak signals, but after using these micros at some gigs and singing mass-songs in churches, I was perfectly satisfied and really happy. We were amazed about the excellent quality and the trouble-free transmission of the wireless-system. The micros have light weight and a great sound for this price category, clear understandable speech and bright, perfect balanced, excellent tune for songs. In my opinion, the best features are: simple, „only what is necessary“ layout, LED status and low battery control on the transmitters, status LEDs on the receiver and saving money with up to 30 hours playtime with one AA battery.

Considering the low cost of these microphones they perform extremely well. The sound quality isn't amazing but easily matches a mid-level dynamic handheld with the bonus of wireless. These went into a primary school install and after a few months they are still going strong. The range is incredible for the money, they were situated in an A/V cabinet and the school is of Victorian brick construction (massive thick walls) and they transmitted between rooms without much problem. You definitely need a foam windscreen with the mics to limit breath and face noise. In the average small PA setup you would struggle to notice the difference between these and mics that cost over twice the price. They are a touch plasticy but for the money they are a great product for a great price

These microphones have a very good sound output. With other brands you don't even buy one microphone with that price. I tried them both inside and outside and they worked fine. The battery life is super good.

Okay it has some downsides:
1. Since the mics are made out of plastic they are very susceptible to hand noises and it is irritating.
2. They have fixed frequencies.
3. No XLR output, only balanced TRS and no mix output.
4. No stand mic clips.
5. No pilot tone and they don' t have true diversity.

Despite all the negatives, I still recommend them. They are very worth the price.
