Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two WMS40 Mini sets?
The Vocal Set includes two handheld dynamic cardioid microphones specifically tuned for singing, while the Instrumental Set uses bodypack transmitters designed to accept external microphones or line-level instruments. The Vocal Set isolates vocals from stage noise; the Instrumental Set preserves instrument tone transparently.
Can I use the Vocal Set for instruments or the Instrumental Set for vocals?
The Vocal Set's cardioid handheld mics are optimized for vocals and stage rejection, making them practical for singers. The Instrumental Set's bodypack design and signal path prioritize transparent instrument tone, not vocal isolation, so it is less ideal for typical vocal performance without adding external mics.
How far do these systems reach?
Both sets operate at a 20-meter line-of-sight range (65 feet) with 10 mW RF power across four selectable channels (US25A–D for Vocal, Band A & B for Instrumental). This range suits small to mid-sized stages and live venues but is insufficient for large touring venues.
Are these systems suitable for studio recording?
No. Both WMS40 Mini sets are designed for live performance. Wireless latency and RF transmission characteristics make them unsuitable for overdubbing, tracking, or professional studio work where wired connections are standard.
