Going wireless with guitar has never been easier

The GB40 "Guitar Bug" - part of AKG's WMS Mircotools system, puts the freedom of wireless within range of every guitarist. All you do is plug the GB40 into your guitar. That's it! The "FlexJack" swiveling jack plug makes the GB40 a perfect fit for any guitar shape - Les Pauls, Strats, whatever you play. It also provides an input gain control, battery status indicator, replaceable frequency color code element, and a DC/CD converter for consistent transmission quality throughout the life of the battery. • For use with WMS 40 receivers only (e.g. SR 40) • FlexJack swivel jack plug matching all guitar outputs. • Extended frequency response optimized for guitar and bass. • Lowest operating cost in its class. Operates on a single AAA size dry or rechargeable battery. • Integrated charging contacts and optional charger for easy use of rechargeable batteries. • Integrated antenna for optimum transmission. • ON/MUTE/OFF switch and battery status indicator. • Input gain control for optimum modulation. • Replaceable color code element. • DC/DC converter for constant transmission quality throughout battery life

Worry-free Wireless!

We wanted you to know that all of the wireless systems you see here - and all of the wireless systems available at Sweetwater - are 100% compliant with the Federal Communication Commission's new rules governing wireless systems. You can be confident that these systems will work safely and within the permitted frequency/power ranges, just as they are. However, please be aware that by choosing to use systems that operate in the 700MHz range or by modifying a new wireless system you receive from us, you may cause your system to operate outside the FCC's new guidelines. If that's the case, you may need a license to operate the unit. To find out more, visit the FCC's wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones or give them a call at (888) CALL-FCC.
