AKG WMS470 Vocal Set C5/BD7 - 500 to 530.5MHz Analog Wireless Microphone System with SR470 Receiver and HT470 C5 Cardioid Handheld Transmitter in Black Finish

The AKG WMS470 Vocal Set C5/BD7 is a professional, high-performance wireless microphone system designed for various live sound applications, such as performances, seminars, conferences, and house of worship events. With a robust frequency range of 500.1 to 530.5 MHz (Band 7), this system is ideal for situations that require multiple simultaneous wireless microphones, offering the flexibility and reliability needed for complex setups. The WMS470 features a 30 MHz tuning bandwidth, allowing you to select from 1200 available frequencies and operate up to 20 channels within the same frequency band, or up to 48 channels across multiple bands. This makes the system highly suitable for large events or locations with high wireless traffic.

The SR470 receiver is housed in a rugged half 19-inch all-metal case and uses an advanced uC-controlled space diversity system to enhance reception and minimize dropouts. The receiver is designed for easy setup with automatic frequency selection and up to 16 pre-programmed frequencies within the same frequency band. The system's pilot tone technology ensures that there are no unexpected startup noises, providing a seamless audio experience. Additionally, the infrared link allows for automatic frequency synchronization with the transmitter, simplifying the setup process.

The SR470 receiver features a two-color backlit display to clearly indicate critical operational conditions such as low battery, audio peaks, and weak RF signals. The receiver is equipped with a balanced XLR output (switchable to -30 or 0 dBm) and an unbalanced TS 1/4" jack output for versatile connection options to mixers or amplifiers. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB(A) and total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.3%, the SR470 ensures high-quality, clear audio transmission for professional performances. The receiver's adjustable squelch control allows it to mute audio automatically when the RF signal becomes too weak, ensuring that only strong, reliable signals are heard.

The HT470 handheld transmitter is equipped with AKG's C5 condenser cardioid microphone capsule, which is designed to deliver superior sound quality while rejecting unwanted background noise. The cardioid pattern ensures that the microphone picks up sound from the front while minimizing feedback, making it perfect for live sound applications where clarity and intelligibility are essential. With an impressive frequency response of 35 to 20,000 Hz, the HT470 ensures full-range audio capture, making it ideal for speech and vocal performances.

The handheld transmitter operates on a single AA battery and provides up to 14 hours of continuous operation, ensuring reliability throughout long performances or events. The transmitter features a noiseless on/off/mute switch, a gain control for adjusting input levels, and an LED indicator for monitoring battery and operational status. The RF output power can be set to either 10 mW or 50 mW (depending on the country), allowing you to adjust the transmission range based on local regulations. The HT470 microphone is designed to handle high sound pressure levels with a maximum SPL of 144 dB, ensuring durability in demanding live sound environments.

The WMS470 Vocal Set C5/BD7 is fully compatible with AKG's WMS 4500 series of antenna splitters, power supplies, and high-quality directional or omni-directional antennas, making it a scalable solution for more complex setups. Whether you're running a small conference or a large-scale live event, this system ensures exceptional sound quality, reliability, and flexibility in a wide range of applications.

Included in the package are the SR470 receiver, the HT470 handheld transmitter with the C5 microphone capsule, a stand adapter, a RMU4000 rack mount kit for easy integration into a rack setup, and all necessary power accessories, including a universal power supply with US, UK, and EU adapters. Additionally, two BNC UHF antennas are provided for optimal RF reception and signal strength.
