All user reviews for the AKG WMS 40 Pro Flexx Instrument

So I needed a wireless system for guitar, not too expensive, and with a rack type system diversity.
I am therefore directed to this model, buying the option to put it in a rack, sold separately.
First thing, it comes in a plastic box with foam cut, it's a nifty little more for those using mobile way.
From a functionality point of view: the receiver has an XLR output mirrored (to go directly to a PA) and an unbalanced output jack (to go to a guitar amp, for example).
The issuer is when he has very simple, with a switch on / off / mute, a gain knob and a selector switch frequency.
So yes the frequency, you can choose between 3, so can be problematic if you use it in an environment where he wa 15, 20 or more wireless devices: with a flick of bad luck, you may end up with of interference. Good for me, it's never been the case for 3/4 years that I use.

The cable to connect the transmitter to the guitar is of very poor quality, super fragile, especially for guitars with jack "flat" (I mean different than a Fender). There was downright need an angled jack, so I invite you to buy one or two cable with angled jack is much more convenient.

Regarding the use bin must say it is super efficient battery! The transmitter requires only one AA battery, and you type in 30h easy to use!

For sound quality, we can see that the sound is a little dull, I mean that the frequency spectrum of the instrument is reduced compared to a hair good quality cable. After this is not critical, but it can affect whether your string instrument => Effects => amp is upscale type, you'll feel it.
For my part I'm mostly metal, I used a lot of action and it is clean, the sound is good.
The scope is really excellent! so we can enjoy them on large scenes, or go to the board for a balance and to listen to the front in large rooms!

Small flat for active guitars, it tends to be clipped from time to time on guitars with 9v (Seymour Duncan Active Blackout for me), even with the transmitter gain to a minimum, so I highly recommend if you have 18v, your sound is really terrible.

In short, we must not forget we are talking about a system to 150 €. If you want absolute transparency, you must type in the Shure ULX or AKG WMS 4500, but it happens in 1000 € in this case.
This is a good wireless system for guitar, robust, that sounds if the conditions I listed above, and do not hurt the wallet is respected.
I put 7/10 which is good, in the range.

<strong>For how long have you been using it?</strong>

4 years on my violin, in a 19.''
<strong>
What thing do you like most/least about it?
</strong>

Most: versatility and simplicity. The issuer tiny and very practical with its spring to the plate on the body of the instrument. Autonomy satisifaisante. I did not hear a difference with or without the sound. Jack or XLR output of the receiver.
Fewest: er ... If I really had to find something, it's separate power supply may be, I would have preferred a simple Shouko. But it is really to nitpick.

<strong>Did you try many other models before getting this one?</strong>

Yes Shure. It's like a little less convenient for the sender and much more.

<strong>What is your opinion about the value for the price?</strong>

Good or very good.

<strong>Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
</strong> Without hesitation. No problem in 4 years, that is interference (even in crowded scenes of big festivals) or squelch problems. I plug it works, I'm happy!

I received this morning, which is admittedly a bit early, but I think for HF not need months of experience!
Edit: That one month I use it, and it's always the same opinion that I want
I tried the Shure ago a buddy, which ignores good practice because the silent rcepteur with reduced size (for pedalboard) and without antenna, its not n'tait ALTR but the cable connecting the guitar very sensitive director, and any silent plastic. I also test another I do not know what brand, there was a concern with the rcepteur who did not recognize the director.
Also it is cheaper than the Shure, the whole is delivered in a padded hard plastic case the interior, in short, solid throws and AC! The rcepteur is metal, with two antennas discreetly, 3 frquences switchable. There is possibility to connect the rcepteur on the amp, but also on a mixing desk via XLR, good point. You can adjust the volume gnral rcepteur since, with a knob that can be manipulated with APRS clicked, practice! Little more also, the power supply consists of a block (normal), and 3 adapters "snapped" on the block. Thus it can be used in Europe, England, USA, LATIN AMERICA in the blink of an eye, no need to buy an adapter plug.
The director himself is solid plastic, some parts in metal. Requires one AA battery (good point, dear 9V c) and a self-announced 15-20h for a normal cell, 30h for a rechargeable battery (2200 mAh), which is HUGE. There is a flat slecteur OFF / MUTE / ON. The cable looks normal, nothing transcendent, but he has the intelligence to lock (systm with small button) when the branch's director, has therefore seems "solid". The only BMOL I would make (but it is in the 3 / 4 of directors) is the small antenna, even if it is flexible, can be only after several sc ties will begin to do the mouth, see! Little more, there are ways to buy a charger for the director (it's under the director of connector plugs for connecting to said-charger).
Transmission is good, good quality sound is not ALTR no background noise or latency, and the door is good (I test 10 Maître with few walls between rcepteur me and I think we can hit within 25-30 meters).
So here, good cheap HF (those that price as the Shure have some default, and after you type in the style of 300 HF Relay Line 6 G30, etc. ...), which seems solid , which has a longer battery life than its competitors, all with good quality sound and comes in a carrying case. The surprise of the year because the prices do not necessarly prsage this quality and yet it is l!! I would do it without hesitating choice!
