AKG WMS470 Sports Set BD8 – Professional Wireless Microphone System

The WMS470 Sports Set BD8 delivers professional-grade wireless performance in a compact, athlete-friendly package. 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 environments where standard microphone stands and cabling create obstacles.

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. 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 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 sports commentary, fitness instruction, and outdoor events. 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-event failures.
