AKG HT470 D5 BD9 50 mW - UHF Handheld Transmitter for WMS470 Systems (Band 9, Supercardioid)

AKG HT470 D5 BD9 50 mW - UHF Handheld Transmitter for WMS470 Systems (Band 9, Supercardioid)

The AKG HT470 D5 BD9 50 mW is a professional handheld wireless microphone for the WMS470 series, equipped with the D5 dynamic capsule with supercardioid pattern, designed to deliver high gain-before-feedback and a voice that cuts through the mix. Operating in Band 9 (BD9) , with ranges of 600.1–605.9 MHz and 614.1–630.5 MHz , it features infrared synchronization with the receiver, pilot tone to avoid turn-on noise, selectable 10/50 mW RF power and integrated charging contacts compatible with the CU400 cradle. It features LCD for frequency, group/preset and battery status, integrated dipole antenna and up to ≈1200 available frequencies in 25 kHz steps within a 30.5 MHz tuning width. Powered by a single AA battery, it offers typical battery life of ≈6 h (alkaline) , ≈8 h (NiMH) or ≈14 h (lithium) , and a typical range of up to 100 m line of sight. Robust construction with compact dimensions of 237 × 51 mm and weight of ≈240 g without batteries.

Main features

• Supercardioid dynamic D5 capsule (70–20,000 Hz) for maximum gain before feedback and side/rear rejection.
• Band 9 (BD9) : 600.1–605.9 MHz and 614.1–630.5 MHz (depending on local regulations).
• Selectable RF power : 10 or 50 mW (ERP) to optimize coverage and multi-channel coexistence.
• IR synchronization with the receiver and pilot tone to prevent unwanted noise.
• LCD display with frequency, group/preset and battery information in hours .
• Tuning width 30.5 MHz , 25 kHz steps and ≈ 1200 available frequencies .
• Integrated charging contacts , compatible with CU400 charger (without removing the battery).
• Audio performance : 35–20,000 Hz, SNR 120 dB(A) typ., THD <0.7% at 1 kHz.
• Power supply : 1 × AA; typical battery life 6 h (alkaline), 8 h (NiMH) or 14 h (lithium).
• Typical range up to 100 m line of sight (conditional on RF environment/antennas).
• Dimensions/weight : 237 × 51 mm; 240 g without batteries.
• Compatibility : AKG SR470 receivers (WMS470 series) on the same BD9 band.

Product benefits

• Present and controlled voice : the supercardioid D5 capsule offers defined attack and high immunity to feedback.
• Fast and secure deployment : IR synchronization and pilot tone minimize connection errors and noise.
• Coverage flexibility : 10/50 mW to adjust range and interference according to scenario or regulations.
• Clear operation : LCD with battery reading in hours, ideal for gigs, theater or installation.
• Easy maintenance : direct charging on the CU400 dock thanks to the integrated contacts.

Use cases

• Live and backline : lead and backing vocals on stages with sound pressure and close monitors.
• Theater and events : robustness, long battery life (lithium) and agile frequency switching.
• A/V Installations : Auditoriums, Conference Centers and Houses of Worship with WMS470 Systems.
