Description
AKG WMS40 Mini Dual Vocal Instrumental Set – Channels A/B
The WMS40 Mini brings professional wireless capture into the home studio and small-to-medium session environment, engineered for reliable, transparent performance across vocal and instrumental recording applications. The dual-channel architecture lets producers record paired sources—vocal and guitar, or two microphone inputs—simultaneously without signal interference, making it ideal for tracking flexibility and overdub sessions where phase coherence and minimal latency matter.
System Design & Connectivity
This wireless solution combines an SR40 Mini dual-channel receiver with separate HT40 Mini handheld and PT40 Mini body-pack transmitters, integrating directly into typical studio signal chains. The body-pack features a professional 3-pin mini XLR connector for impedance-matched connection to guitar, bass, lavalier mics, and condenser microphones, while the receiver outputs balanced audio through dual 1/4" jack connectors—ready for preamp, interface, or console input.
Audio Performance & Session Stability
The system operates across a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range with a 65.62 ft operating range, delivering a 100 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio and minimal coloration at 0.8% THD at 1 kHz. Extended battery endurance—30 hours per AA battery in each transmitter—means multi-hour sessions run uninterrupted without power concerns, reducing setup time and keeping workflow unbroken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the body-pack transmitter with both guitar and a headset microphone?
Yes, the PT40 Mini body-pack has a 3-pin mini XLR connector compatible with guitar, bass, headset mics, and instrumental microphone levels. You can plug either a guitar cable or headset mic directly into the body-pack; switching between them requires unplugging and plugging in the other source.
How long does each transmitter battery last, and what type is it?
Each transmitter runs for 30 hours on a single AA battery, making it very economical for regular weekend use or touring small venues. Both the handheld and body-pack use standard AA batteries.
What's the operating range, and will it work across a typical small venue or outdoor stage?
The system operates reliably up to 65.62 feet, which covers most small club stages, worship spaces, and hospitality venues. For larger outdoor events or touring setups, you may need to consider a higher-tier system.
What comes in the box, and what do I need to connect it to my mixer or amp?
The set includes the SR40 Mini receiver, HT40 Mini handheld transmitter, PT40 Mini body-pack transmitter, and an MKG L instrument cable. The receiver outputs balanced audio via dual 1/4-inch jacks, so you'll need 1/4-inch cables to connect to your mixer or amp inputs.
Is this system suitable for large touring or festival production?
No—the WMS40 Mini is designed for small to medium venues, worship spaces, and gigging bands. Its 65-foot range and single-AA battery life make it best for local gigs, rehearsals, and intimate performances rather than tour-grade or arena-level production.
