Frequently asked questions
Can I use the DPTTetrad as a replacement for one WMS40 Mini transmitter?
Not directly. The DPTTetrad is a pocket transmitter requiring a separate lavalier or instrument mic; the WMS40 Mini comes with handheld capsules built in. The DPTTetrad also requires its own compatible receiver, not the SR40.
Which is better for a studio recording session?
The DPTTetrad. Its 24-bit 48kHz uncompressed audio and 120 dB-A SNR meet professional tracking standards, while the WMS40 Mini's analog transmission and 20-meter range are designed for live performance, not studio work.
Do I need a license to use either system?
The WMS40 Mini operates on license-free US25 channels. The DPTTetrad uses 2.4 GHz license-free technology globally, though RF power varies by region (10 mW in Europe, 100 mW elsewhere).
Which system has longer battery life?
The WMS40 Mini transmitters run 30 hours on a single AA battery. The DPTTetrad uses two AA batteries but does not specify runtime, making the WMS40 Mini the longer-lasting choice for extended gigs.
