When it comes to wireless in-ear monitor systems, LEKATO has been a trusted name for musicians looking for reliable, affordable, and high-quality gear. Two of our most popular models — the LEKATO MS-1 and the LEKATO MS-02 — are both designed for seamless 2.4GHz stereo wireless monitoring, but they cater to slightly different needs.

So, which one is right for you? Let’s dive into a side-by-side comparison.

🎧 1. Design & Build

• LEKATO MS-1(Color: Black&Green):
  Sleek, minimalist, and lightweight — the MS-1 is built with portability in mind. Its compact transmitter and receiver are perfect for musicians on the go, rehearsals, and small stage setups.

• LEKATO MS-02:
  The MS-02 features a more robust and professional-looking design, with a screen display for real-time frequency and battery monitoring. It’s great for performers who value quick visual feedback during performances.

Winner for visual feedback: MS-02
Winner for portability: MS-1

📡 2. Connection & Stability

Both systems use the 2.4GHz wireless frequency band, which is ideal for avoiding interference with UHF signals common in crowded environments. They also offer real stereo transmission, ensuring your monitoring experience is natural and immersive.

However:

• MS-02 supports up to 6 channels, allowing multiple systems to work simultaneously without cross-interference — a big plus for band setups.

• MS-1 also supports multiple sets working together but without individual channel display.

Winner for multi-user setups: MS-02
Tied for basic stereo stability.

🔋 3. Battery Life & Charging

• MS-1: Rechargeable via USB-C and offers up to 6 hours of battery life on a full charge.

• MS-02: Also USB-C rechargeable but with a slightly upgraded battery offering up to 7 hours of use.

Winner for battery life: Slight edge to MS-02

🎶 4. Sound Quality

Both the MS-1 and MS-02 are equipped with 24-bit/48kHz audio resolution and low-latency transmission (<5ms), which ensures that what you hear is accurate and in real-time. Musicians love both for the clarity they provide, whether in live performances or studio sessions.

Tied for professional-level sound.

💸 5. Availability & Combo Options

Currently, the MS-1 is available in multiple configurations — including a full set (transmitter + receiver), individual transmitters, and individual receivers — giving you flexible options depending on your needs.

The MS-02, being a newer release, is currently available only as a complete set (transmitter + receiver).

👉 If you're planning to use the system with your bandmates or group, we highly recommend going with MS-1, where you can purchase one transmitter and multiple receivers to keep everyone in sync — cost-effectively.
