What frequency range does the WMS470 operate on, and will it work in my venue?

The system operates on 570.1–600.5 MHz carrier frequency with 30.5 MHz switching bandwidth and space-diversity receiver architecture to minimize dropouts across typical venue RF environments. Confirm your local frequency allocations with your audio team or venue technical staff before purchase, as wireless allocations vary by region.

How long does the battery last per set?

The HT470 transmitter runs 14 hours on a single AA-size lithium battery, so a typical 2–3 hour performance night requires no battery swap. The system includes one spare AA battery and universal power supply in the box.

What capsule is on the microphone, and how does it handle feedback on loud stages?

The HT470 handheld transmitter uses a dynamic D5 vocal capsule engineered for consistent rejection of ambient stage noise while maintaining clarity across the full vocal range. Dynamic capsules naturally reduce feedback and feedback risk compared to condenser designs on loud stages.

What outputs does the receiver have, and how do I connect it to my mixer?

The SR470 receiver provides both microphone-level and line-level outputs, so you can route the signal directly to a compact mixer or full-scale FOH console depending on your setup. Dual outputs give you routing flexibility without external converters.

What comes in the box?

The complete set includes SR470 space-diversity receiver, HT470 handheld transmitter with D5 capsule, stand adapter, rack mount kit, universal power supply with multi-region adapters, one AA lithium battery, and two antennas.
