AKG WMS470 Sports Set BD8 – Professional Wireless Microphone System
The WMS470 Sports Set BD8 delivers professional-grade wireless performance in a compact, hands-free package built for live sound operators and performers in active environments. The C544 L headworn microphone sits securely with its rugged neck-wrap headband, keeping hands free during intense physical activity while the lightweight PT470 bodypack transmitter clips discreetly to waistband or belt. This system prioritizes reliability and durability in demanding venues and outdoor settings where standard microphone stands and cabling create obstacles or become impractical.
Audio Performance & Range
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 on stage and in the field. The SR470 diversity receiver employs multi-channel reception to minimize dropouts and interference, supporting up to 16 simultaneous channels within the same frequency band for multi-user live-sound rigs and touring deployments.
Design & Reliability
The C544 L condenser microphone features a cardioid polar pattern with external shock mount and moisture shield, engineered to reject handling noise and withstand perspiration exposure during live event coverage, outdoor performances, and high-movement applications. 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 prevent mid-performance failures and keep your sound operator informed.
