AKG HT470D5-BD10-50MW - HT470 D5 Band 10 Wireless Microphone

AKG HT470 D5 BD10 50 mW - UHF Handheld Transmitter for WMS470 Systems (Band 10, Supercardioid 823–832 MHz)

The AKG HT470 D5 BD10 is a professional handheld wireless microphone for the WMS470 series, equipped with the D5 dynamic capsule with supercardioid pattern, ideal for vocals that need high gain-before-feedback and presence in the mix. This version works in Band 10 (BD10) , 823–832 MHz range (European LTE gap duplex), and maintains all key system features: IR locking , pilot tone to avoid power-up noise, charging contacts for the CU400 base, and LCD display with frequency/group readout and battery hours. It offers a tuning width of 30.5 MHz in 25 kHz steps (≈ 1200 available frequencies), and switchable RF power up to 50 mW according to regulations; in the 823–832 MHz band many EU countries limit to ~ 20 mW ERP for unlicensed use.

The radio architecture integrates an optimized dipole antenna to minimize hand-held shadows, while the system electronics deliver an audio response of 35–20,000 Hz , THD ≤0.7% , and SNR >120 dB(A) . It operates on a single AA battery (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium) with typical battery life of ≈7–8 h , and up to ≈14 h on lithium. Rugged yet lightweight construction at 237 × 51 mm (9.2 × 2 in) and ≈240 g ( without batteries). Fully compatible with AKG SR470 receivers on the same BD10 band.

Main features

• AKG D5 supercardioid dynamic pickup (70–20,000 Hz) for maximum gain before feedback and side/rear rejection.
• Band 10 (BD10): 823–832 MHz with coordinated presets; typical solution for European use (depending on local regulations).
• Switchable RF power up to 50 mW (limited by regulation; at 823–832 MHz ≈ 20 mW ERP is typically used).
• Tuning width 30.5 MHz; 25 kHz step with ≈ 1200 available frequencies .
• IR synchronization with the receiver and pilot tone to prevent unwanted noise.
• LCD with frequency/group and battery life in hours ; battery status transmission to the receiver.
• Integrated charging contacts compatible with CU400 charger .
• Typical battery life : up to 14 h (AA lithium), ≈8 h (NiMH) and ≈7 h (alkaline).
• Typical line-of-sight range : up to 100 m (depending on environment and antennas).
• Dimensions and weight : 237 × 51 mm; ≈240 g without batteries.

Product benefits

• Defined and controlled vocals : The supercardioid D5 cuts through the mix and resists feedback in demanding settings.
• Professional deployment : IR pairing, band-coordinated presets, and pilot tone for silent connections.
• Operational flexibility : switchable RF power (subject to regulations) and wide frequency range for multi-channel coexistence.
• Clear operation : display with battery status in hours and telemetry to the receiver to anticipate changes.
• Easy maintenance : direct charging in the CU400 dock using integrated contacts.

Use cases

• Live and backline : lead vocals and backing vocals with close monitors and high sound pressure.
• Theater and events : fast frequency changes and long autonomy.
• A/V Installations : Auditoriums and conference centers already operating with SR470 on BD10.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What range does the BD10 version operate in? 823–832 MHz with preconfigured channels for easy coordination (check local regulations).
• What is the transmission power? The system supports up to 50 mW , but in 823–832 MHz, European regulations generally limit it to ≈20 mW ERP for unlicensed use.
• Which receiver is it compatible with? The AKG SR470 on the same BD10 band.
• Can it be charged without removing the battery? Yes, using the CU400 and the transmitter's charging contacts .
