Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency band does the WMS40 Mini operate on, and will it work in my venue?
The system operates on Band C at 539.300 MHz and delivers a 66-foot wireless range, making it suitable for intimate clubs, small theaters, and mid-sized performance spaces. If your venue is larger than 66 feet or you need multiple wireless channels simultaneously, you may want to consider a multi-channel system instead.
How long does the battery last, and what type of battery does it use?
The HT40 Mini handheld transmitter runs on a single AA battery and provides up to 30 hours of operation, meaning you can typically go weeks between battery changes under normal use. The receiver ships with a universal switched mode power supply for worldwide operation.
What microphone capsule is included, and what is it best suited for?
The system includes a dynamic cardioid capsule on the handheld transmitter, which delivers vocal clarity and a presence peak while rejecting off-axis sound. This makes it ideal for lead vocals, spoken word, and presentations where you need definition and minimal room noise bleed.
How does the WMS40 Mini connect to my mixing console or PA system?
The SR40 Mini receiver outputs via a 1/4" jack, allowing straightforward connection to any mixing console, interface, or PA input. The receiver is powered by the included universal switched mode power supply, and the whole system is designed for quick, plug-and-play integration.
Is this system suitable for large touring venues?
No—the WMS40 Mini is optimized for gigging vocalists and performers in clubs, theaters, and mid-sized venues up to its 66-foot range. Large-venue touring typically requires multi-channel wireless systems with greater range and redundancy, which this single-channel unit does not provide.
