Thanks Geoff, I am considering ordering the AKG WMS40 Mini dual wireless system to use with my AKG mics but before I do was wondering if there is an option without a body pack. Using a bulky wireless receiver is more cables and components which sort of defeats the purpose of wireless by needing more cables and a power cable and feeling like being strapped into a body pack. I love the new guitar wireless systems for the neatness and simplicity of it and wish there was an option like that for mini condenser mics. I asked AKG if they had a mini lithium battery wireless system for mics in the works but they dont. Xvive is coming out with something soon but only for dynamic mics:

I do the warranty and other service on AKG gear in NZ. A while ago they
had a plug-in guitar transmitter (now discontinued, for good reason),
called a 'Snap-On'. Proved to be more of a snap-off.

You don't feel wired in to the transmitter so much if you attach the
transmitter to the sax neck-strap, though this presumably feels more
solid on a guitar strap than a sax strap.

The cheap AKG transmitter work of one AA alkaline, and the top line off
two. These last for longer than any gig you'll ever do, so why the lithium ?


The receiver end requires the receiver, and wall-wart, and a signal
cable which is hardly onerous, considering you are presumably plugging
it into other gear requiring a cable or two !
