3 Setting Up
• Prior to setting up your WMS 4500, check that the transmitter and receiver are
tuned to the same frequency, referring to section 3.6 and the receiver manual.
• We recommend setting all channels to the same Preset and the same Group.
In the following sections, flashing characters are identified by angle symbols ">" and "<".
All values shown are examples of available settings.
The PT 4500 bodypack transmitter has been designed primarily for use with "L" type
MicroMic Series microphones from AKG (see section 2.4.2). If you wish to connect other
microphones from AKG or other manufacturers to the PT 4500, please note that you may
have to rewire the existing connector of your micro phone or replace it with a 3-pin mini XLR
connector.
Audio input pinout:
Pin 1: shield
Pin 2: audio (inphase)
Pin 3: audio
A positive supply voltage of 6 volts for condenser microphones is available on pin 2.
Please note that AKG cannot guarantee that the PT 4500 bodypack transmitter will
work perfectly with products from other manufacturers and any damage that may re-
sult from such use is not covered by the AKG warranty scheme.
• Plug the mini XLR connector (1) on the cable of your microphone or on the MKG L in-
strument cable (2) into the audio input connector (3) on the bodypack transmitter.
1. Open the battery compartment door (1).
2. Insert the two supplied batteries into the battery compartment, aligning the batteries
with the polarity symbols inside the battery compartment.
If you insert the batteries the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
3. Close the battery compartment door (1).
• Alternatively to the supplied dry batteries, you may use the optional BP 4000 battery
pack from AKG. The BP 4000 fits into the battery compartment in the correct orienta-
tion only, so you cannot insert it the wrong way.
• Never use standard rechargeable batteries! These may damage the transmitter
if the charging contacts are shorted and will provide no remaining battery life in-
dication. AKG will accept no liability for any damage resulting from the use of
standard rechargeable batteries.
