The set comes with four interchangeable coloured rings, which can be used to easily identify which mic is currently in use, and the receiver offers individual level controls and dedicated XLR output sockets for each channel. Offering excellent audio quality, a wireless range of up to 90M (line of sight) and a microphone battery life of 6-10 hours, the WU-419V is a versatile tool that is perfect for any situation that requires multiple wireless vocal mics.
