An AKG Solution Designed to Go Beyond "Plug and Play"
The WMS470 targets users who want a UHF wireless system more flexible than a basic set: it maintains quick setup while adding advanced configuration features to adapt to field constraints. AKG incorporates here a high-end technology also used in the WMS4500 wireless system, with a highly appreciated strength in live settings: compatibility with WMS4500 components (antennas, power supplies, splitters) to build more complex wireless setups as needs grow.
Available in versions for Band 1 (650 to 680 MHz) or Band 3 (720 to 750 MHz), the WMS470 offers great frequency plan flexibility. Its wide bandwidth (30 MHz) provides 1200 frequencies and allows simultaneous use of 10 to 11 channels per band depending on context and frequency coordination.
Who Benefits from the WMS470 and in What Applications Does It Make a Difference?
This handheld microphone system is ideal for live vocals and speech in clubs, venues, and medium-sized events, especially when managing multiple wireless microphones, stage changes, or frequency coordination challenges. The HT470/C handheld transmitter equipped with the C5 cardioid capsule emphasizes voice and helps better control stage feedback by favoring frontal pickup.
In practice, the WMS470 suits both sound professionals and equipped venues seeking a reliable, easy-to-diagnose solution that is sufficiently scalable to support growth (adding channels, antenna distribution, rack integration).
