AKG DPTTetrad Digital Pocket Transmitter B-Stock
The DPTTetrad is a compact, lightweight body-pack transmitter engineered for professional wireless mic applications in studio sessions, remote recording, and live broadcast work where uncompromised audio fidelity and secure signal transmission are essential. Its pocket-sized form factor integrates seamlessly into mobile recording rigs, on-location sessions, and fixed installation setups while delivering the signal integrity and encryption required by professional audio production.
Audio Performance & Transmission
24-bit 48kHz uncompressed audio coding ensures studio-quality signal transmission to your recorder or mixing console without lossy compression artifacts, while a 120 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio maintains pristine clarity and headroom across demanding vocal and instrument tracking. 128-bit AES standard encryption protects the wireless audio stream from interception, critical for confidential sessions and secure production environments; fully adjustable mic-to-line input with 0 dB to 30 dB gain control accommodates everything from delicate condenser microphone preamplifier outputs to high-output instrument signals, enabling precise gain staging without noise floor compromise or clipping.
Connectivity & Power Management
The transmitter operates on 2.4 GHz license-free technology with 10 mW RF output in Europe and 100 mW outside Europe, supported by a 3-pin TQG connector for flexible routing into your existing wireless infrastructure. Powered by two AA batteries with 5V phantom power capability, the unit supports extended recording sessions with low battery warning and auto power-off functions to minimize runtime interruptions during critical takes.
