Frequently asked questions
Can I use the SR470 BD8 as a single receiver for a presenter or small band?
Yes, the SR470 BD8 can receive one wireless channel, but it's a stationary rack unit designed for installations with multiple channels. If you need a single portable system for presentations, the WMS420 is purpose-built and more practical.
Does the WMS420 include a receiver or just the headset mic?
The WMS420 is a complete presenter set that includes both the headset mic and a portable receiver, making it a self-contained solution ready to use immediately.
Which system is better for a multi-mic church service or conference with several speakers?
The SR470 BD8 supports up to 48 channels and is designed for venues where multiple wireless mics run simultaneously. The WMS420 is optimized for single-speaker scenarios; you would need multiple WMS420 sets to cover multiple speakers.
What's the audio character difference between these two?
The SR470 BD8 prioritizes transparent, low-distortion audio reproduction with a wide frequency response for any source. The WMS420 has a warm, natural tone character that flatters spoken voice and is tailored for presentations and vocals rather than full-range instrument or music playback.
