AKG WMS470D5SETBD9 - UHF Band 9 Wireless System with D5 Microphone and Receiver

AKG WMS470 D5 SET BD9 - UHF Band 9 Wireless System with D5 Microphone and SR470 Receiver

The AKG WMS470 D5 SET BD9 is a professional analog UHF wireless vocal system that combines the HT470 handheld transmitter with a D5 supercardioid dynamic capsule and the SR470 stationary receiver. It offers a switchable bandwidth of 30.5 MHz , up to 1200 selectable base frequencies , and stable multi-channel operation thanks to pilot tone , infrared synchronization, and microprocessor-controlled diversity. In Band 9 (BD9), it operates on 600.1–605.9 MHz and 614.1–630.5 MHz (depending on local regulations). The receiver, housed in a 1U, half-19” rack metal chassis, includes balanced XLR (switchable to mic or line level) and unbalanced 6.3 mm outputs, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB(A) , a 35 Hz–20 kHz response , and THD ≤0.3% . The HT470 transmitter with D5 capsule provides supercardioid pickup from 70 Hz–20 kHz and allows up to 14 hours of autonomy with a single AA lithium battery , with selectable RF power of 10 or 50 mW (country dependent).

Main features

• Supercardioid dynamic D5 capsule for lead and backing vocals, with high gain-before-feedback and defined sound.
• SR470 diversity receiver (space/microprocessor controlled) with environment scanning, Auto Setup, IR lock, and dual-color backlighting for critical alerts.
• Scalable Multi-Channel : Up to 16 simultaneous channels on the same band; up to 48 by combining multiple compatible bands in the series.
• 1200-frequency base in the 30.5 MHz subband for coordinating live systems, events, or installations.
• Professional Audio : 35 Hz–20 kHz (system), SNR 120 dB(A), THD ≤0.3 % (receiver).
• Connectivity : Switchable balanced XLR (-30 dB/0 dB) and unbalanced 6.3 mm jack; two 50 Ω BNC antennas with remote antenna network capability.
• Optimized battery life : up to 14 hours with one AA lithium battery; also compatible with alkaline or NiMH batteries.
• Robust construction : 19” (1U) metal half rack with mounting kit included.
• Support for WMS4000 accessories (splitters, sources, and directional/omni antennas) for large systems.

Product benefits

• Clarity and feedback rejection : The supercardioid D5 capsule keeps your voice front and center even on noisy stages.
• Fast and secure setup : Auto Setup, presets coordinated by TV channel and IR synchronization minimize errors and preparation times.
• Low operating costs : long battery life with a single AA and battery monitoring in hours from the receiver.
• True scalability : from a single channel to multi-band configurations with dozens of coordinated channels.
• Easy integration : Mic and line level outputs for direct connection to mixing consoles, conference systems or processors.

Use cases

• Lead vocals and backing vocals in live music (clubs, festivals, regional tours).
• Corporate events, conferences, and seminars that require reliable multi-channel deployments.
• Educational centers and houses of worship that require ease of use and vocal clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many systems can I use at once? Up to 16 on the same band; combining multiple bands in the series, up to 48 simultaneous channels.
• What battery does the transmitter use? One AA battery (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium). Lithium batteries provide up to 14 hours of battery life.
• What outputs does the receiver have? Balanced XLR (switchable to -30 dB or 0 dB) and unbalanced 6.3 mm TS jack, plus two BNC connectors for antennas.
