Detail 01
500–560 MHz carrier range
UHF sits above crowded VHF traffic but shares space with local TV channels. Scan and pick a clear frequency at each venue.
Product detailSKU #1285103302038
AKGPerception Wireless Vocal Set Band A
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Entry-level UHF handheld wireless for vocals. For small venues, houses of worship and schools that need one reliable channel without a rack of gear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Single-vocalist gigs in bars and small clubs
- Church or school stages where one handheld covers the service
- Plugging straight into a powered speaker via the 1/4 inch output
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Multi-channel setups; coordination gets tight inside one 60 MHz band
- Studio or broadcast work, where a wired mic wins
- Anyone wanting rechargeable packs — it runs on one AA
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
70–20,000 Hz audio bandwidth
Rolls off below 70 Hz, trimming stage rumble and handling thump. Vocals sit fine; very deep sources get thinned.
Detail 03
10 hours on one AA
Covers a long gig night or a full day of services. Start fresh rather than swapping mid-set.
Detail 04
Balanced XLR and 1/4 inch out, mic-to-line adjustable
Feeds a mixer channel or a powered speaker directly. No DI or level-matching box needed.
Detail 05
Adjustable squelch, 100 to -70 dBm
Raise the mute threshold in RF-noisy rooms so dropouts go silent instead of bursting hiss through the PA.
Detail 06
10 mW RF output
Room-and-hall transmit power, not stadium power. Keep the receiver in sight of the stage.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Band A is fixed at purchase; adding channels later means coordinating frequencies inside 500–560 MHz
- 02Budget for an XLR cable and a receiver position with clear line of sight
- 03One AA per transmitter, per show — keep fresh batteries in the bag
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work in the US?
It tunes 500–560 MHz, a UHF range still open to wireless mics here. Avoid frequencies your local TV stations occupy, and scan for a clear channel at every venue.
02Can I run two of these at once?
Yes, on different frequencies within the band. Set each pair manually and test them together before doors — two transmitters on the same frequency will fight.
03How long does the battery last?
About 10 hours from a single AA. That covers a full gig night or a day of services. Use a fresh cell rather than a partly used one.
04Can I plug it into a powered speaker?
Yes. The receiver's 1/4 inch output adjusts from mic to line level, so it drives a powered speaker or mixer channel without a separate DI box.
