Frequently asked questions
Do these products work together?
No. The GN50 E is a wired gooseneck module requiring a separate DAM Series capsule, while the WMS40 Mini is a self-contained wireless system. They serve different installation types and cannot be combined.
Which is better for live performance?
The WMS40 Mini is purpose-built for live performance with 65.62 ft wireless range, lightweight bodypack design, and 30-hour battery life. The GN50 E is designed for fixed installations like stages, conference rooms, and houses of worship where a wired connection is acceptable.
What frequency response does each offer?
The GN50 E delivers 20–20,000 Hz suitable for vocal and speech applications. The WMS40 Mini captures 40 Hz–20 kHz with emphasis on full instrument detail and transparent tone reproduction, making it better for capturing acoustic instruments and musical nuance.
What additional costs might apply?
The GN50 E requires purchasing a compatible DAM Series capsule separately to function. The WMS40 Mini is a complete system with no additional capsule or hardware purchases needed—transmitter, receiver, and cable are included.
