Frequently asked questions
Which is better for a worship band or conference where singers move around?
The WMS40 Mini is designed specifically for this use case. Its wireless handheld transmitter gives performers complete freedom to move across the stage, while the 30-hour battery runtime ensures continuous operation through multiple services or event days.
Which works better for miking drums, amps, and instruments?
The P3S is the clear choice for instruments and amps. Its wired design eliminates RF interference concerns, its 144 dB maximum SPL handles loud sources without distortion, and the cardioid pattern provides excellent rejection of surrounding noise and feedback in live settings.
What's the cost difference per unit when buying in bulk?
The P3S comes in a 20-pack, giving you more units at a lower per-microphone cost if you need multiple wired mics. The WMS40 Mini comes in a 12-pack and includes both transmitter and receiver hardware, so the total system cost is higher but you get wireless capability and mobility.
Can the P3S work wirelessly or the WMS40 work wired?
No. The P3S is a wired dynamic microphone with an XLR connector; it requires a cable to a mixer or audio interface. The WMS40 Mini is a wireless system only and cannot be converted to wired use.
