Brilliant sound and ease-of-use at an unbeatable price/performance ratio.
The WMS 40 Mini instrumental systems features AKG’s unique HDAP (High Definition Audio Performance) technology ensures the best possible, most realistic sound at any time. The system includes an SR 40 MINI receiver, a PT 40 MINI pocket transmitter, a MKG L instrument cable, a universal power supply with US/UK/EU adapter, and one AA size dry battery.
The SR 40 Mini receiver provides three status LEDs indicating ON/OFF status, received signal strength (RF OK), and audio clipping (AF CLIP). The VOLUME control sets the level at the ¼" output jack. The supplied switched mode power supply operates on any AC voltage from 110 to 240 VAC and includes EU, UK, and US adapters.
The PT 40 Mini bodypack is probably the smallest and lightest transmitter in its class. A reliable mini XLR output allows you to connect every compatible AKG miniature microphone. A single AA size battery will do to power both the transmitter and a condenser microphone connected to it. Battery life of the transmitter is the same legendary "30 hours off a single AA battery" as for the WMS 40 models, reducing the need to replace batteries and thus saving real money in the long run.
Consumer Alert:
Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCCs wireless microphone website at: www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.Features

I really try to take care of my cables, but lately I've been spending a fortune replacing them. I've thought about going to a wireless system, but I didn't want to settle for some cheap, crappy Nady, and I didn't want to spend a lot for a good one. I'm just a gigging bar musician, not a rock star. But when I saw that the WMS 40 Mini was manufactured by AKG, I took notice. I've owned many AKG products over the years and I figured they wouldn't put their name on something that was below their standards. I was right. This thing is fantastic! I can't believe you can get a UHF system at this price. I'm very picky about my sound, and you do have to spend a little time adjusting the input sensitivity and the output volume to get it just right, but then it's set and it sounds great. The transmitter clips onto my back pocket and the receiver sits on top of my Marshall half stack. I do run a cable from the receiver out to my Boss ME-50 multi-effects unit and a cable back to my amp, but I'm not tethered anymore. It's nice to be able to walk around the stage. Great sound, no dropouts, and a nice price. Get one before they realize their error and raise the price.

I really hate to say it, but... I was really looking forward to receiving this and setting it up. As soon as I did, there were intermittent, loud popping sounds, and then an intermittent, loud hissing sound as I walked away from the receiver (in my house). I owned a Samson unit, and now own Sennheiser and Line6 units, and have never experienced something so unusable out-of-the-box. I adjusted the gain on Rcvr and Xmtr and any other adjustments I could find, tested the battery, etc -- but no joy. Had to send it back. I suppose I got a bum unit b/c no one could sell systems that fail like this.

Comments about AKG WMS 40 Mini Instrument Wireless System:
If you want to give wireless guitar a try, this is the unit for you! Very reasonably priced and made by an excellent, longtime company. (AKG)
This system was easy to set up and use. It has everything that is needed and the functions are easily understood. I bought two units for my band. One unit had a small problem that necessitated a return to Musician's Friend. What a wonderful experience in dealing with the return. The employee at MF made it so easy and pleasant.
The other unit worked as expected. It was so quiet when turned on, I didn't know it was turned on until the guitar was played. The sound of the guitar was very natural sounding and there were no drop outs or interference of any kind. Once you try this product you will never want to use a guitar cord again.I have used the unit at a distance of approximately 60 to 80 feet with perfect results.

Comments about AKG WMS 40 Mini Instrument Wireless System:
This system is very easy to use you just plug and play. In my opinion it has a slight bit of compression or loss of sound quality. It really just sounds different than the cable I use. The tone is good otherwise. I wish it had more than one channel on each system. But for [$] I could go without. Has the perfect cable lenght and its all extremely compact. The range on it is insane I tested it at 275ft going on 300 and it wasnt even line of sight. For [$] this is a killer AKG is a great company to go with!
Comments about AKG WMS 40 Mini Instrument Wireless System:
We bought 2 of these for my band. They are great. Sounds just the same as using a cable. The battery last as long as advertiesed. I normally change the battery after 5 gigs at 4 hours per gig just to be on the safe side. That's 20 hours. The only thing is you need to be carefull with the transmitter since it is a plastic case. The clip secures it to your strap and i even added another velro strap as a backup just in case. I an thinking of getting a back up since they are so cheap and work so well. We've used ours now for about 10 gigs. We got the A and the C frequencies. This is the first time I have used a wireless but I have been playing for over 40 years and I am very particlular about my sound and gear. I highly recommend this system and it is one of the best "bang for the buck" items I have ever purchased. I guess the only downside for some might be the fact that this system has a fixed frequency and can be used for just 3 players but for your average band of 4 or 5 people this is great. One of my band mates even uses the same wireless system but with the microphone when she runs karaoke and has gotten great results. For you newbees just make sure each band member has a different frequency.
