[Harp-L] AKG WMS 40 PRO/Guitarbug UHF Wireless Guitar System

[Greg Heumann <greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to whomever posted the link to guitar center http:// 
www.guitarcenter.com/AKG-WMS-40-PRO-Guitarbug-UHF-Wireless-Guitar- 
System-103663290-i1127027.gc for this product. It WAS off the market  
for a while but is evidently back on. Very cool. I have one of these  
- works well - does a little compression, which is probably a good  
thing. The transmitter is Hi-Z, so compatible with most harp mics. SO  
- how do you connect it to your mic? Not many people have mics with  
1/4" female jacks. If you have a screw-on connector and use a Type  
332 adapter the transmitter will actually be too close and interfere  
with your grip.

For anyone who is interested, I make an adapter that connects to your  
mic's screw-on or XLR connector, optionally includes a volume  
control, and terminates in the 1/4" female jack this device needs.  
Because the spring-loaded transmitter still wants to spin and flop  
around a bit, I use a small strip of gaffer's tape to secure it to  
the adapter. If you have a low impedance mic I can build an impedance  
matching transformer into the adapter as well, with or without the  
volume control.

If you have questions please contact me off-list.
