AKG PR4500 ENG Set PT BD7 Reference Wireless ENG/EFP System
The PR4500 ENG Set brings broadcast-grade wireless transmission into your studio and field recording sessions with the audio fidelity and low-latency performance of a hardwired mic line—capturing every detail, articulation, and dynamic shift without coloration or signal degradation. Built to handle intimate vocal tracking, instrument miking, dialogue recording, and live capture with impressive headroom and exceptionally low self-noise, this system integrates seamlessly into professional production workflows where audio purity matters.
System Design & Build
The compact, all-metal PR4500 receiver weighs just 6 ounces and mounts directly to your camera or audio interface via hot-shoe adapter, keeping your rig portable and your setup efficient. The PT4500 body-pack transmitter is equally light at 3 ounces with an integrated belt clip, while the included CK99L lavalier microphone tips the scales at only 0.08 ounces—together they create a system so portable it integrates effortlessly into any session or location recording setup.

Dual outputs on the receiver—1/8" TRS headphone and XLR—connect directly to your mixer, audio interface, or camera system, while the CK99L cardioid microphone delivers natural proximity presence and a presence peak at 10 kHz for clear, intelligible vocal and speech capture in your mix.
