Description
AKG WMS470 D5 VOCAL SET BD8 - Professional Wireless Microphone System B-Stock
The WMS470 D5 Vocal Set is a professional-grade wireless microphone system built for studio sessions, live recording, and multi-track capture where signal stability and audio fidelity drive the session. This B-Stock unit shows cosmetic blemishes but operates with full functionality. The handheld transmitter sits naturally in the hand with its dynamic D5 capsule, delivering well-balanced, powerful sound without feedback artifacts thanks to pilot tone transmission—critical for maintaining clean takes and isolation during overdubs.
Wireless Performance & Studio Reliability
Operating in the 570.1–600.5 MHz carrier frequency range with a 30.5 MHz switching bandwidth, this system provides stable RF performance across multiple channels, essential for multi-mic recording setups where frequency coordination is non-negotiable.
