Audix AP42VX5B Dual-Channel Wireless System

Dual Channel UHF Wireless System with VX5 Condenser Handhelds

The Audix AP42 VX5B is a dual-channel UHF wireless microphone system built for performers, presenters, and production teams who require detailed condenser vocal sound with dependable RF performance. This system combines the R42 Kit-B diversity receiver operating in the 554 to 586 MHz band with two H60 handheld transmitters equipped with VX5 supercardioid condenser capsules. It is designed for live sound, broadcast production, houses of worship, touring rigs, and corporate events where consistent signal and refined vocal clarity are critical.

Professional UHF Diversity Receiver for Stable Wireless Operation

The R42 Kit-B receiver provides 32 MHz of tuning bandwidth within the 554 to 586 MHz frequency range and offers 106 pre-coordinated frequencies for efficient setup. One-touch auto scan quickly identifies clear channels, while infrared sync links each handheld transmitter to the receiver in seconds. The dual-antenna diversity design enhances signal stability and minimizes dropouts in complex RF environments. Its 19-inch rackmount chassis integrates easily into installed audio systems or mobile production racks.

VX5 Supercardioid Condenser Capsules for Detailed Vocal Reproduction

Each included H60 transmitter features a VX5 supercardioid condenser capsule engineered for smooth, detailed vocal response. With a frequency range of 40 Hz to 16.5 kHz, the capsule captures subtle vocal dynamics while maintaining clarity and articulation. The supercardioid pickup pattern provides focused front rejection and strong isolation from stage bleed, making it ideal for loud stages, wedge monitors, and full band performances. High SPL capability up to approximately 140 dB ensures clean reproduction even with powerful vocalists.

Handheld Transmitters Built for Touring and Live Performance

The H60 handheld transmitters feature durable metal housings with a slim, well-balanced design for comfortable handling during extended performances. A soft mute switch enables silent on and off control, while a high-contrast LCD screen displays group, channel, frequency, and battery status for quick reference. Selectable RF output power and adjustable AF gain settings allow optimization for different venues, from small conference rooms to large stage productions. Two AA batteries provide up to 14 hours of continuous operation.

Flexible Connectivity and System Monitoring

The R42 receiver includes balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch outputs for compatibility with professional mixing consoles, powered speakers, and recording interfaces. The front-panel LCD provides real-time RF and AF metering, frequency data, and battery indicators for both channels. Adjustable AF and RF levels allow fine-tuning of signal strength, while a ground-lift switch helps reduce hum caused by ground loops. Lock functions protect settings from accidental changes during live events.

Expandable Wireless Solution for Multi-Microphone Setups

The AP42 VX5B system supports operation of up to eight systems simultaneously, enabling 16 wireless channels in coordinated environments. This makes it suitable for multi-speaker panels, worship teams, theatrical productions, and live music performances. Included accessories such as antennas, BNC cables, rackmount hardware, audio cable, power supply, and batteries ensure the system is ready for immediate deployment in professional audio applications.
