AKG HT470D5-BD1-50MW - HT470 D5 Band 1 Wireless Microphone

AKG HT470 D5 BD1 50 mW - UHF Handheld Transmitter for WMS470 Systems (Band 1, Supercardioid 650–680 MHz)

The AKG HT470 D5 BD1 50 mW is a professional handheld wireless microphone from the WMS470 series, optimized for live vocals, events, and A/V installations. It features the AKG D5 dynamic capsule with a supercardioid pattern (70–20,000 Hz) to deliver high gain before feedback and a presence that cuts through the mix. This version operates in Band 1 (BD1) with a range of 650–680 MHz , incorporates infrared synchronization with the receiver, a pilot tone for silent start-ups, and switchable 10/50 mW RF power (as per regulations). Its electronics offer a response of 35–20,000 Hz , SNR ≈120 dB(A) and THD ≤0.7% . It has an LCD with frequency/group readout and battery in hours , integrated dipole antenna, and charging contacts compatible with the CU400 base. It runs on a single AA battery and achieves typical battery life of ≈7 h (alkaline) , ≈8 h (NiMH) and ≈14 h (lithium) . Robust and lightweight chassis in 237 × 51 mm format and ≈240 g without batteries.
