Carvin Audio WM5 Wireless Mic System
The WM5 transforms an existing dynamic wired microphone into a wireless model, providing range up to 200 feet and operating in the 5 GHz frequency band, which is less crowded than the 2 GHz band, thus reducing chances of interference from other wireless gear. Components charge via USB. Its low-noise design (-110 dBm), long range (up to 200 feet), compact size and simple, plug-on operation — coupled with an intuitive set up — makes wireless setups an easy process.
