Wide-band Wireless That’s Worth Every Penny

Fast, reliable wireless doesn’t have to be complicated. Just take a look at this AP61 system from Audix for proof! This full kit includes everything you need to get started: a handheld microphone, a mountable receiver, and accessories like antennas and rackmount hardware. The included handheld VX5 Vocal Microphone is tailor-made for boisterous singers and speakers while also doubling as a general all-purpose stationary or handheld mic (it's also great for acoustic instruments). What’s more, the included R61 receiver is a breeze to set up; it features 1-touch sync and auto-scan for microphones, so even new users can sort out setup in a pinch. The R61 delivers long-range wireless with 2560 tunable frequencies across 64mHz and 207 pre-coordinated frequencies for convenient use. With approximately 450 feet of range on tap, this system is ideal for venues of almost any size. And those looking for a modular setup will be pleased to know you can easily stack multiple R61 units together for up to 24 channels simultaneously or up to four units on one antennae pair using an antennae distribution system (sold separately).

Audix's VX5 Supercardioid Condenser

Ideal as a starring vocal microphone, the included Audix VX5 handheld mic sports a sleek professional look that’s outdone only by this mic’s superstar performance! The microphone's body essentially works as a transmitter, which eliminates the need for cords or a bodypack. Meanwhile, a supercardioid polar pattern ensures exceptional vocal isolation — your main speaker can wander the room, the choir, and even the orchestra pit without creating mix nightmares for sound techs. The VX5 features a high 140dB SPL ceiling — enough to handle even the most boisterous singers. The VX5 frequency response (40Hz–16kHz) is custom-tuned for vocals and it rejects lower frequencies that muddy vocal amplification, but Sweetwater stage techs have found this frequency range also makes the VX5 a viable mic for acoustic instruments including guitar and violin. Plus, the VX5 runs on common AA batteries with an impressive lifespan of 14 hours per battery swap. You’ll be amazed with the clarity of its professional sound and strong feedback suppression that helps the show run smoothly!

R61 Diversity Receiver

The R61 Diversity Receiver delivers single-channel clear wireless reception with stellar performance and user-friendly features. A mounting design makes the R61 great for permanent installations, yet it’s also light and durable enough to take on the road. The R61 offers 2,560 tunable frequencies, 1-touch auto scan, and 1-touch auto sync for the linking of transmitters. The R61 is also incredibly modular and easy to scale up should you need more channels. Up to 24 R61 units can be chained together for up to 24 channels of wireless, with clarity and performance both getting a boost from the R61’s wide range A-band and B-band frequency coverage of 522–586MHz. What’s more, this kit includes plenty of useful accessories, including two antennas, two BNC antenna cables, a carrying case, and a power supply.

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 within the FCC's currently permitted frequency/power ranges. Please be aware that systems operating in the 617-652 MHz or 663-698 MHz range are now operating outside the FCC's new guidelines. 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.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
