Audix AP41 GUITAR B - Professional Wireless Instrument System (Band B)
The Audix AP41 GUITAR B represents the perfect balance of simplicity, reliability, and professional audio quality. Part of Audix's acclaimed Performance Series , this wireless system has been meticulously designed for guitarists and bassists who demand their tone remain undisturbed, without the constraints of traditional cables. Unlike lower-end plastic systems, the AP41 stands out for its robust construction and sophisticated electronics, ensuring that every nuance of your playing, from the pick attack to the subtlest sustain, is transmitted with crystal-clear fidelity.
This system operates in the B-band (554 MHz - 586 MHz) and combines the R41 diversity receiver with the B60 bodypack transmitter. The magic of this setup lies in its ease of use: thanks to the one-touch "Scan & Sync" functions, the system automatically analyzes the RF environment to find the cleanest available frequency and synchronizes the transmitter and receiver in seconds. You no longer need to be an RF engineer to achieve interference-free wireless sound.
The included B60 transmitter is a durable piece of engineering, crafted from low-profile aluminum, making it lightweight yet incredibly resistant to the rigors of live performance. It attaches securely to your guitar strap or belt, and its high-end circuitry ensures no loss of low frequencies or excessive compression—vital for both electric guitars and active or passive basses.

The Audix AP41 GUITAR B eliminates this problem by offering a flat and dynamic frequency response that respects the character of your instrument. Furthermore, you'll have complete freedom on stage; you can interact with the audience, move around the stage, or go down to the floor without worrying about tripping or losing your connection. Its robust construction provides peace of mind: you'll know your equipment won't fail due to an accidental bump or sweat, thanks to its superior build quality.
