THE TM 40 - MODULAR SYSTEM FOR SOPHISTICATED STAGE APPLICATIONS

Sooner or later in the life of every singer, the time comes when you need to buy a rugged stage microphone with that fabulous sound. But that’s when you find yourself in a dilem- ma: do you need a hardwire or a wireless mic? A hardwire model is perfectly adequate for the rehearsal room, where it is often impossible to use a radio system due to the small distances involved. On the other hand, the benefits of a wireless microphone during a live performance are obvious: no endlessly long cables, and complete freedom of move- ment. But this is hardly enough to make you want to buy two microphones.

This problem is now a thing of the past thanks to the revolutionary TM 40 transmit- ter module. Depending on the situation, with an easy adjustment you can use this micro- phone with or without a cable.

It goes without saying that you can always opt for the hardwire version to begin with if your budget is limited. You can subsequently upgrade to the wireless version at any time without being annoyed about owning a hard- wire mic you no longer need.

The TM 40 transmitter module is based on

the same technology as AKG’s extremely suc- cessful WMS 40 range, which offers a genui- ne plug & play system for up to six channels. This ensures problem-free operation of all optional accessories – from receiver to char- ger – with your TM 40. A built-in on/mute/off switch, clearly visible status LED, and input gain control ensure unrivaled ease of use.

What microphone you will ultimately choose depends only on your personal preference as a performer: dynamic or condenser, cardioid or supercardioid – every possible combina- tion is available.

TM 40 Transmitter module

Status LED

Allows you to check the status of the battery inside your transmitter. The TM 40 will operate for about 8 hours off a 1.5 V AAA size dry battery, and about 6 hours off a rechargeable battery. When the status LED lights up red con- tinuously, the battery will last about another 50 minutes: recharging takes an hour at most.

On/mute/off switch

With the mute function selected, only the audio signal is muted: the supply voltage and RF carrier frequency remain switched on. This prevents other transmitters from interfering with the receiver although the micro- phone is “switched off”.

Input gain control

Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the audio input on the TM 40.

Battery compartment

You can operate the microphone with either dry or rechargeable batteries. Integrated charging contacts in the bottom of the micro- phone allow you to charge the battery without removing it.

Battery charging made easy

Use the optional CU 40 charger to recharge the battery in the battery compartment via the integrated contacts in the bottom of the transmitter body. The battery is recharged within one hour and can then be used for up to 6 hours. Battery charging simply couldn’t be easier, faster, or more ecological!
