Frequently asked questions
What is the APS4 actually for?
The APS4 is a passive RF signal distribution hub designed to consolidate antenna inputs and feed multiple wireless receivers simultaneously. It is not a complete microphone system and requires external receivers to function.
Can I use the WMS470 C5 with the APS4?
Yes. The WMS470 C5 includes a receiver; if you later add more receivers to expand your setup, the APS4 can serve as a central antenna distribution point to feed them all from shared antennas.
What frequencies do these operate on?
The APS4 covers 470–952 MHz (UHF wireless microphone bands). The WMS470 C5 operates on the BD8 frequency band, which falls within the UHF range supported by the APS4.
Who needs each product?
The APS4 suits rental houses, churches, theaters, and touring companies running multiple wireless systems from shared antenna infrastructure. The WMS470 C5 suits solo performers, bands, and presenters who need one reliable wireless vocal microphone for stage use.
