WM-1 Wireless MIDI Audio Interface by Hughes & Kettner

Hughes & Kettner unviles the , a brand new wireless MIDI audio interface, designed for use with its much-lauded Grandmeister 36 amp and the accompanying iPad app.

The WM-1 essentially removes the wired connection from the equation – connecting between the amp’s MIDI in/out and footswitch (optional), then sending a wifi signal to the iPad.

If you do not have any wi-fi network, WM-1 can create his own Wi-Fi network that is easily recognized by the iPad, phantom powered, so there’s no extra power supply required.
