AKG was showing off their MP40 mic, which easily ranks as one of the coolest things we saw all day. This microphone is about the size of a cigar, making for discrete placement an inconspicuous delivery of a speech signal to any sound system. The MP40 has an integrated, detachable lavalier with cable and attachment clip. The lavalier is inside the transmitter; an integrated antenna and allows for input gain control. Operation is via a single, inexpensive AAA battery, or you can opt for the rechargeable base station for extensive flexibility.
The MP40 is part of a new series of mics by AKG called the WMS40 Microtools Series. The series includes similarly compact options for instrument and handheld applications. We’ll be bringing you more on these exciting new mics as soon as we know more, so keep an eye on InSync in the coming weeks for more on the WMS40 Microtools Series.
