AKG WMS470 Sports Set Wireless Microphone System

The WMS470 Sports Set is built for people who move: aerobics and spin instructors, coaches, stage performers who dance. The C544 L cardioid condenser headworn microphone sits on an external shock mount, which is the detail that matters here, since it is mechanical noise from a bouncing headband and not room noise that ruins this application. A moisture shield protects the capsule from sweat and humidity.

The PT470 bodypack rides in a rugged plastic housing with a BC400 belt clip and runs up to 14 hours on a single AA lithium cell, and its pilot tone transmission keeps the receiver silent when the pack is off. The SR470 half-rack receiver adds Auto Setup, Environment Scan and Rehearsal mode, a backlight that changes color to warn of a low transmitter battery or audio peaks, and detachable BNC antennas for a remote-antenna install.
