Frequently asked questions
What is each product designed for?
The H500 is a microphone shock mount that isolates vibrations during studio and live recording. The RMU40 is a rack-mounting adapter that allows AKG WMS40 Mini wireless receivers to mount in standard 19-inch broadcast and touring racks.
Can I use both together?
These products serve entirely different functions in the signal chain. The H500 isolates a microphone from stand vibrations, while the RMU40 organizes wireless receivers in a rack. They can be part of the same system but don't interact directly.
What's the isolation performance difference?
The H500 provides 12 dB of vibration noise attenuation for microphone isolation. The RMU40 does not address audio isolation; it only provides mechanical mounting and organization for wireless receivers.
Which is better for live performance?
For stage vocals and instruments, the H500 reduces handling noise and feedback. For organizing wireless receivers in touring rigs or broadcast trucks, the RMU40 saves rack space and ensures secure, repeatable mounting. Both support live work but in different roles.
