Frequently Asked Questions

The WSM software is straightforward; it scans for available frequencies and automatically assigns them, though manual override is always an option.
While well-built, the transmitter’s size might be a consideration for players with smaller hands; it's not lightweight.
Yes, the bodypack is compatible with NiMH batteries, but using Sennheiser’s BA 2015 provides the best performance and charging capabilities.
