Audix AP41BPB - Professional Diversity Wireless System with B60 Bodypack (B Band)
The Audix AP41BPB is a high-performance wireless system designed for audio professionals who demand absolute reliability, transparent sound quality, and a rugged build capable of withstanding the most demanding tours. Part of Audix's acclaimed Performance Series , this system combines the R41 Diversity receiver with the B60 bodypack transmitter, operating in the B Band (554 MHz - 586 MHz) . It's the ultimate solution for guitarists, bassists, and speakers looking to go wireless without sacrificing a single nuance of their original tone.
The engineering behind the AP41BPB focuses on simplicity and efficiency. Thanks to its one-touch scanning and synchronization technology, the system takes the guesswork out of wireless setup, automatically finding the cleanest available channel in seconds. The R41 Diversity receiver ensures signal stability by seamlessly switching between antennas to prevent dropouts or interference, guaranteeing that your presentation or performance remains flawless up to 91 meters away.
The included B60 bodypack transmitter stands out not only for its highly durable metal chassis but also for its ergonomic and lightweight design. It's extremely versatile, equipped with a 3-pin mini-XLR connector that allows it to be used with instrument cables (for guitar and bass) as well as a wide range of Audix lavalier or headset microphones. With exceptional battery life and intuitive controls, the AP41BPB is a sound investment for any professional audio application.

-
Intelligent Synchronization: The setup menus are simple and intuitive; the "Scan" and "Sync" functions allow you to link the transmitter and receiver via infrared with just the push of a button.
-
Rugged B60 Transmitter: Made in a precision metal housing, it features a soft mute switch located on the top for quick and quiet access.
-
Efficient Energy Management: The transmitter offers an impressive battery life of up to 14 hours, minimizing operating costs and the risk of mid-event power outages.

Product benefits
For the musician or sound engineer, the greatest benefit of the Audix AP41BPB is peace of mind . The all-metal construction protects the internal components from the bumps and drops common on stage. The audio quality is pristine; the system is designed to maintain the integrity of an electric bass's tone or the clarity of the human voice without the excessive compression typical of lower-end wireless systems.
Furthermore, its flexibility is unmatched. A single system can serve multiple purposes: today the band's bassist can use it, and tomorrow it can be equipped with a lavalier microphone for a speaker, simply by changing the accessory attached to the bodypack.
Use cases
-
Live Music Stages: Ideal for guitarists and bassists who need to move freely around the stage while maintaining a solid connection.
-
Conferences and Presentations: Perfect for speakers using lavalier or headset microphones and requiring hands-free operation.
-
Fixed Installations: Excellent for auditoriums, temples (Houses of Worship) and theaters where a discreet, long-range system is required.
-
AV Rental Companies: Due to its durability and ease of setup, it is a reliable piece of equipment to rent to customers with different levels of technical experience.
