A reliable solution in the WMS 420 range: flexibility and optimized operating cost
The AKG WMS 420 series was designed to meet the needs of users seeking a UHF wireless microphone system that is easy to deploy while maintaining a "pro" logic when managing multiple radio links. A complete WMS 420 system revolves around the SR420 receiver and a choice of transmitter: HT420 handheld transmitter or PT420 bodypack transmitter. In this "headset" configuration, the PT420 bodypack transmitter pairs with the C555L to prioritize comfort, discretion, and freedom of movement.
Another notable feature of this range: the transmitters have charging contacts when used with rechargeable batteries, a rare approach at this level, which helps reduce operating costs for regular use and installations.
Who and for what uses: voice, presentation, sports, light stage
This system is particularly suitable if you are looking for a wireless headset microphone that stays in place and maintains a consistent voice level, where a handheld microphone requires specific gestures and a lavalier microphone can be more sensitive to rubbing. The C555L is well suited for presentations, hosting, theater, group classes (fitness, dance), conferences, as well as any situation where the speaker needs to talk while moving or keeping their hands free.
The UHF transmission and the possibility to work with up to 8 compatible systems per band also make it a solid base for small multi-speaker setups, both fixed and mobile.
