AKG WMS470 Sports Set BD8 – Professional Wireless Microphone System
The WMS470 Sports Set BD8 delivers professional-grade wireless performance in a compact, mobile-friendly package for recording and live-to-tape scenarios where freedom of movement matters. The C544 L headworn microphone sits securely with its rugged neck-wrap headband, enabling hands-free operation during voiceovers, dialogue capture, and field recording sessions, while the lightweight PT470 bodypack transmitter clips discreetly to waistband or belt. This system prioritizes reliability and durability in dynamic environments where standard microphone stands and cabling create workflow constraints.
Audio Performance & Frequency Stability
Operating across the 570.1–600.5 MHz frequency range with FM modulation, this system achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB-A and delivers audio bandwidth from 35 to 20,000 Hz—capturing full-spectrum vocals and ambient sound with clarity for multitrack sessions and post-production mixing. The SR470 diversity receiver employs multi-channel reception to minimize dropouts and RF interference, supporting up to 16 simultaneous channels within the same frequency band for multi-talent recording setups and ensemble capture.
Microphone Design & Transmission Stability
The C544 L condenser microphone features a cardioid polar pattern with external shock mount and moisture shield, engineered to reject handling noise and isolate sources during dialogue recording, acoustic tracking, and field production work. Battery life reaches up to 14 hours on a single AA lithium battery, while the pilot tone system continuously transmits transmitter data and low-battery warnings to maintain session continuity and prevent unexpected RF dropout during critical recording moments.
