Frequently asked questions
Can I use these two products together?
Yes. The WMS470 D5 receiver has RF input that could connect to the APS4 if you needed to feed multiple receivers from shared antennas, but the WMS470 D5 is a standalone system that does not require the APS4.
What skill level do I need for each?
The APS4 requires intermediate-to-advanced knowledge of RF distribution and wireless system architecture. The WMS470 D5 is designed for intermediate to professional performers and can be operated by anyone comfortable with standard wireless microphone setup.
Which one is better for a small live venue or single-performer setup?
The WMS470 D5 is the correct choice—it's a complete system designed for gigging and touring. The APS4 is infrastructure for expanding existing multi-receiver systems and is not useful without multiple receivers already in place.
Does the APS4 come with power?
No, this variant ships without a power supply. The APS4 does supply 10 VDC to antennas via its rear panel, but you must source the external power supply separately.
