HANDHELD AND BODYPACK TRANSMITTERS FOR EVERY CONCEIVABLE APPLICATION
AKG WMS 400 TRANSMITTERS
The HT 400 handheld and the PT 400 body-
pack are high-performance, compact wireless
transmitters that can be used for every con-
ceivable application. Many innovative fea-
tures not only ensure greater reliability of
operation, but also provide extremely conve-
nient operation.
An LC display provides information at a
glance about important parameters such as
frequency/Preset name (country code),
remaining battery life, low battery warning,
and current transmission mode.
Once you have set a frequency on the recei-
ver, an infrared transmission link will feed
the related data to the assigned transmitter
within seconds, making the setting up of
large multichannel systems child's play.
The HT 400 handheld transmitter is avail-
able with either a dynamic or a condenser
microphone element. A noiseless On/Mute/
Off switch and status LED provide additional
user convenience.
The PT 400 bodypack transmitter has a rug-
ged metal case with a mini XLR socket that
allows you to connect a wide variety of micro-
phones and instruments. It also has a jack for
connecting an external mute switch – a par-
ticularly useful feature when the transmitter
is inaccessible.
