WIRELESS SYSTEMS FOR MAXIMUM MOBILITY

Wireless microphone systems are becoming increasingly popular in sports arenas, fit- ness or dance studios for efficient commu- nication between athletes and trainers. The WMS 40 Sports System is a complete solu- tion designed for the specific needs of ath- letes and trainers. The head-worn micro- phone affords maximum mobility. It is rug- ged, light, and will stay in place even if the user moves their head abruptly. A flexible plastic behind-the-neck arch and large sup- port pads keep the microphone securely in place without restricting the athlete's field

of vision. The flexible microphone arm with a special moisture shield absorbs mechani- cal impact and places the microphone near the corner of the user's mouth. Since the user will not talk directly into the micro- phone, it will pick up almost no pop or breathing noise. The PT 40 bodypack transmitter features a belt clip for easy and secure fastening to the user's belt or clothes. Alternatively, you can use the sup- plied light, padded neoprene bag that pro- tects the transmitter from perspiration and impact.

Wireless microphones can be used for many applications from training at the gym to championships in any sports, for communi- cation between trainers and athletes or direct connection to the sound system at a stadium.

The WMS 40 Sports System provides tailor- made speech reinforcement solutions for gyms, sports clubs, and teams that are easy to connect to an existing sound system at a gym, hall, or open-air arena, and guarantee users the required mobility.

Flexible antenna

To maintain perfect transmission, the antenna should be visible from the recei- ver location at all times. So make sure never to cover the antenna with clothes or other elements of the costume.

Battery status LED

With a minimum battery life of 35 hours, the PT 40 gives you more hours of fun per dollar than most of its competitors. And if the battery status LED illuminates after all, don’t panic: you still got 50 minutes before the batteries are dead so you can easily steal away for a minute to replace them.

PT 40 Portable transmitter

Mini XLR connector

A locking 3-pin mini XLR connector pro- vides a reliable connection to a head- worn microphone from AKG.

ON/MUTE/OFF switch

Setting the switch to the "MUTE" position mutes the audio signal, while the transmitter continues radiating the RF carrier frequency. This prevents the receiver from being disturbed by other transmit- ters while the microphone is “off the air”.

Training communications

Instructions are often drowned out by ambient noise. The PT 40 Sports System in conjunction with a powered speaker or amp and speaker reduces the strain on the trainer's voice and gets their instructions across clearly. The result is better communi- cation for more efficient training.
