New Bee WP-7 Wireless XLR Microphone System, 5.8GHz, 6 Channels
Product description
For a speech, wedding, or live set where a microphone cable would get in the way, the New Bee WP-7 links an XLR microphone to a mixer, PA system, or other XLR audio device. The transmitter connects to the mic and the receiver to the audio input, with a stated wireless range of up to 100 feet. Its 5.8GHz band is intended to avoid the busier 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth band, though placement and nearby interference can still affect a wireless signal.
It supports dynamic microphones and 48V condenser microphones, so you can use it with either type without changing to a different wireless link. The stated battery life is up to 20 hours with a dynamic mic and up to 9 hours in 48V condenser mode.
Where it shines
The WP-7 is useful when you want to keep an existing XLR microphone but remove the cable between the mic and the sound system. A speaker moving around a room, for example, can connect a dynamic mic to a mixer without running an XLR cable across the floor. The transmitter has a female XLR port, while the receiver has a male XLR port for connecting to compatible audio equipment.
The system offers six channels and supports one transmitter broadcasting to as many as six receivers. That setup can help distribute the same mic signal to multiple destinations, while the 24-bit/48kHz transmission specification may suit live audio and recording workflows. It is a more direct alternative to replacing a wired microphone with a complete wireless microphone kit, provided your microphone and receiving equipment use compatible XLR connections.
What to know
Compatibility is specific: the transmitter supports XLR dynamic mics and 48V condenser mics, but not condenser microphones that require 24V or lower phantom power. The battery runtime also varies by mic mode, and the product information says the system does not support charging while in use. That matters for long sessions, especially when using a 48V condenser mic.
The advertised range is up to 100 feet, not a guarantee for every room. Walls, metal obstacles, and nearby wireless or electrical interference may affect the connection. A hot-shoe XLR adapter for a camera is not included, so a camera setup may require a separate compatible adapter. In the box are the transmitter, receiver, dual USB-C charging cable, and user manual.
How to use it
Connect the female-XLR transmitter to the microphone and the male-XLR receiver to an XLR audio input. Turn on both units and pair them using their pairing controls, the product instructions describe holding the pairing button for three seconds, then pressing the transmitter button. For a 48V condenser mic, enable the microphone’s 48V mode and follow the additional transmitter pairing step described in the instructions. The USB-C cable is included, the stated full charge time is two hours, using a standard 5V/1A charger.
Practical questions
Can it work with a dynamic microphone? Yes. The transmitter supports dynamic microphones with an XLR connector.
Can it power any condenser microphone? It is specified for 48V condenser microphones, not models requiring 24V or lower phantom power.
Can one transmitter feed more than one receiver? Yes. The product supports one transmitter with up to six receivers, and lists six selectable channels.
Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you already have a compatible XLR mic and want a wireless connection to a mixer or PA system, with the option to use a dynamic or 48V condenser mic. The key trade-off is runtime: the listed maximum is 9 hours in 48V condenser mode, and the system cannot be charged while operating. It may not suit you if your condenser mic needs less than 48V phantom power or if your camera setup depends on a hot-shoe XLR adapter, since that adapter is not included.
