WMS 420: A Range Designed for Mobility Without Sacrificing Scalability
The AKG WMS 420 wireless microphone systems are designed to meet the needs of users who alternate between mobile performances and fixed installations. The guiding idea is simple: to offer flexible UHF transmission, capable of operating as a single system or in multi-channel configurations, while remaining quick to deploy. Within the range, a WMS 420 system revolves around a SR420 receiver paired, depending on the application, with a handheld transmitter HT420 or a PT420 bodypack transmitter. This "headset" version emphasizes freedom of movement and discretion, with the C555L as the main microphone.
Who It's For and Intended Uses
This pack is particularly relevant for contexts where speech must remain clear and consistent even when the speaker moves: hosting, presentations, training, conferences, places of worship, or performances requiring a discreet microphone. The headset format maintains a stable mouth-to-mic distance, helping to keep a consistent level, while the PT420 bodypack transmitter easily clips to a belt or fits in a pocket depending on attire.
