Know before you buy
The OM5 capsule is a dynamic microphone known for its tight hypercardioid polar pattern, which excels at isolating the vocalist's voice while rejecting unwanted stage noise and feedback. It provides a clear, punchy sound that cuts through a dense mix, making it a favorite for professional live stages.
Yes, the R42 receiver is a true dual-channel system, meaning it can receive and process signals from both H60 transmitters at the same time. This makes it perfect for setups requiring two vocalists or a presenter and a guest.
The AP42OM5B operates in the UHF frequency band (554MHz - 586MHz), which is designed for stability and reliability. Its diversity receiver architecture helps minimize dropouts by constantly selecting the strongest signal between its two internal antennas.
This system is built to professional standards and is robust enough for touring, corporate presentations, and houses of worship. Its durable construction and reliable signal transmission make it a dependable choice for any environment where consistent audio quality is required.
A diversity receiver uses two separate antennas to capture the signal from the transmitter. By comparing the two signals and automatically switching to the one with the best reception, it significantly reduces the risk of signal interference or dropouts during a performance.
