AKG GB40 Guitar Bug Wireless System
This is a UHF (these are the good ones that don't pick up taxis!) wireless guitar system, where the transmitter is actually built into a jack plug that just fits into your guitar - no need to wear a belt pack type transmitter. The SR40 receiver is not frequency selectable - this means it only transmits on 1 frequency, so you have to make sure that other band members don't have a wireless system on the same frequency otherwise you'll get interference problems. There are 4 frequencies available on this system - UK1, UK2, EU1 & EU2 - make sure you get the right one when you order (if you're the only person using wireless in your band, then it doesn't matter which one you buy). The AKG GB40 Guitar Bug is incredible value - about the price of 4 decent guitar leads - and once you go wireless it completely free's you up on stage. There is no noticable loss of quality when using UHF wireless systems & the GB40 works for any kind of instrument with a jack plug output (bass, electric, acoustic etc). Just keep a decent supply of battereis at hand, as each battery will only last about 3 gigs!
Here's what AKG say about the GB40 Guitar Bug System
The SR 40 Pro receiver can be used with all WMS 40 Series transmitters (like the GB40 guitar bug that is bundled in this offer). An adjustable squelch and output level control permit optimum signal matching to subsequent equipment. Professional outputs include a XLR and 1/4" jack. Rugged half-rack case for standalone or rackmounted operation. The plug & play concept and fixed preset frequency let you set up and operate the SR 40 quickly and efficiently at small venues such as clubs, lecture halls, or for presentations.
SR40 FEATURES
Reliable, easy-to-use receiver Adjustable squelch for noise-free reception Folding front-panel antenna for easy rack-mounted use Frequency color code RF LED indicates signal reception status
The GB 40 guitarbug is probably the easiest way to turn a guitar, bass, or portable keyboard into a wireless instrument. The FlexJack swivel jack plug will mate with any type of output jack and is spring loaded to hold the GB 40 securely against the instrument. In addition, the GB 40 is so small it is almost invisible and wont be in your way while playing. Since the GB 40 sits right on top of the instruments output jack, the noiseless on/mute/off switch and gain control are always within easy reach.
GB40 FEATURES
FlexJack swivel jack plug matching every guitar output Extended frequency response optimized for guitar and bass Optional CU 40 charger for reduced operating cost
PLEASE NOTE: This product is available in four different frequencies, colours vary depending on what frequency you choose.
