WMS 80 specifications

The AKG Acoustics WMS 80 is a versatile and reliable wireless microphone system designed for performers, musicians, and presenters who demand high-quality sound and ease of use. This system emphasizes user-friendly operation, ensuring that users can focus on their performance rather than technical issues.

One of the standout features of the WMS 80 is its advanced wireless technology. Utilizing a frequency range of 863-865 MHz, the system provides a stable and interference-free connection. This frequency range is recognized for its reliability in crowded environments, allowing users to perform in venues filled with other electronic devices. The system’s automatic frequency management simplifies setup, enabling quick adjustments to find the best available channel.

The WMS 80 is equipped with a variety of microphone options, including handheld, lavalier, and headworn models, giving users the flexibility to choose the microphone that best suits their application. The handheld transmitter features a dynamic capsule with a tailored frequency response that captures vocals with clarity while minimizing feedback.

An important attribute of the WMS 80 is its built-in diversity receiver technology, which helps maintain a strong and clear audio signal. The system can switch between two antennas to minimize dropouts and ensure consistent audio quality, even during movement across a stage.

Another significant feature is the ability to operate for up to 30 hours on a single set of batteries, significantly reducing the hassle of frequent battery changes during performances. Additionally, a battery status indicator provides real-time feedback on battery life, allowing performers to manage their power effectively.

The WMS 80 also includes an integrated EQ, allowing users to adjust the sound signature to match their preferences or specific acoustic environments. This customization can help eliminate unwanted frequencies and enhance the overall listening experience.

Portability is a key characteristic of this system. The lightweight design of both transmitters and receivers means they can easily be transported, making the WMS 80 ideal for touring musicians or event presenters.

In summary, the AKG Acoustics WMS 80 wireless microphone system is engineered with advanced technology and practical features, ensuring excellent performance and user satisfaction. Its robust design and comprehensive functionality make it a top choice for anyone looking for professional quality in a wireless audio solution.
