Frequently asked questions

Do these transmitters come with microphones?

No. The HT4500 includes no microphone head—you must purchase one separately. The PT4500 is a body-pack with audio inputs (mini XLR and 1/4 inch jack) and requires an external audio source such as an instrument or microphone connected via cable.

What's the frequency difference between them?

The HT4500 operates across 500–862 MHz UHF with 1,200 selectable frequencies, offering maximum flexibility across many bands. The PT4500 operates in Band 8 (570–600 MHz) with 1,220 frequencies, providing narrower but highly coordinated operation in crowded RF environments.

Which is better for touring theater productions?

Both are specified for theater touring. Choose the HT4500 for wireless microphone use (actors, singers); choose the PT4500 if you need to transmit from an instrument or ambient source and prefer hands-free operation on stage.

What audio quality and battery life should I expect?

Both deliver identical audio specs: 120 dB-A SNR, 35–20,000 Hz response, and 0.3% THD. The HT4500 offers 15 hours on two AA batteries with pilot-tone battery display; the PT4500 specs are not stated in the description.
