Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The CU800 charges DHT800 and DPT800 transmitters for wireless systems. The LC82 MD is a standalone lavalier microphone that connects to wireless packs or audio interfaces via Microdot connector. They do not work together.
What if I own a DMS800/DMS700 wireless system but also need a lavalier microphone?
You would purchase both items: the CU800 to charge your transmitters and the LC82 MD as the microphone capsule to attach to your wireless transmitter pack. They complement each other in a complete wireless system but are not alternatives.
Is the LC82 MD suitable for wireless systems?
Yes—the LC82 MD connects via Microdot connector and is designed for wireless system compatibility with 5,000 Ohms impedance, making it suitable for standard wireless packs including AKG systems.
Does the CU800 work with other wireless systems?
The CU800 is purpose-built exclusively for DMS800 and DMS700 wireless systems, charging DHT800 and DPT800 transmitters. It is not compatible with other brands or systems.
