20 Belt clip for fixing the transmitter to your belt.
21 Battery compartment lid with integrated screwdriver (21a).
21b Viewing window: The viewing window lets you check if there is a dry or rechargeable battery inside
the battery compartment. You can also insert a white lettering strip (supplied) or a color code strip
(optional) into the viewing window.
22 GAIN: This rotary control inside the battery compartment allows you to match the bodypack trans-
mitter input gain to the microphone or instrument you connected to the transmitter.
23 Carrier frequency label: The label on the transmitter rear panel indicates the carrier frequency, color
code (receiver channels with the same carrier frequency are marked with the same color), and approv-
al marks of your transmitter. Refer to the Manual Supplement sheet for a color code table.
The PT 40 PRO has been designed specifically for use with the following AKG microphones:
The MKG L guitar cable from AKG lets you connect an electric guitar, electric bass, or remote keyboard
to the bodypack transmitter. One or two MKG L guitar cables, respectively, are included in the Instru-
mental Set Single and Instrumental Set Dual. The MKG L guitar cable is also available separately as an
accessory.
Prior to setting up your WMS 40 SINGLE/DUAL, check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned
to the same frequency. The easiest way to do this is to compare the color codes on the transmit-
ter and receiver.
• You can either use the receiver freestanding or mount it in a 19" rack using the optional RMU 40 rack
mounting kit. For instructions on how to rack mount the receiver, refer to the RMU 40 manual.
• Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other people
may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the transmitter will
never get any closer to the receiver than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
1. For each channel, use a balanced cable with an XLR connector and 1/4" TRS jack plug (available from
electronics or hi-fi stores).
2. Connect the (each) AUDIO OUT jack (8) on the receiver rear panel to the desired balanced (XLR)
microphone input on the mixer or amplifier.
3. Turn the (two) VOLUME control(s) (3) on the receiver all the way CCW to set the receiver output to mic
level.
1. Use a standard 1/4" jack cable to connect the (each) AUDIO OUT jack (8) on the receiver rear panel
to an unbalanced 1/4" line input jack on the mixer or amplifier.
2. Turn the (two) VOLUME control(s) (3) on the receiver all the way CW to set the receiver output to line level.
To avoid hum interference, do not use audio cables longer than 10 feet (3 m)!
1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power supply is identical to the AC
mains voltage available where you will use your system. Using the power supply with a differ-
ent AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
2. Point the antenna(s) (2) upward.
3. Plug the feeder cable on the included power supply into the DC ONLY socket (10) on the receiver.
4. Bend part of the feeder cable into a small bight, pass the bight through the strain relief (9) from above,
and slip the bight over the hook on the strain relief (9). Tighten the cable.
5. Plug the AC adapter into a convenient power outlet.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch power to the receiver ON.
1. Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment lid (14)/(21).
2. Pull the battery compartment lid (14)/(21) off the transmitter in the direction of the arrow.
3. Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function if you insert the battery the other way round.
4. Set the on/off switch (11)/(16) to "ON" to switch power to the transmitter on.
If the battery is in good condition, the status LED (12)/(17) will be lit green.
If the status LED (12)/(17) is lit red, the battery will be dead within about two hours. Replace the bat-
tery with a new one as soon as possible.
If you use a rechargeable battery, the LED will switch to red 15 minutes before the battery will be dead!
If the status LED (12)/(17) fails to illuminate the battery is dead. Insert a new battery.
5. To close the battery compartment, slide the battery compartment lid (14)/(21) onto the battery com-
partment from below to the point that the snap hook will engage.
