AKG DPT800 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter
Description
AKG DPT800 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter
The DPT800 is a compact, lightweight bodypack transmitter engineered for live performance, touring, and high-demand stage applications. Its ergonomic form factor—measuring 82 × 65 × 28 mm and weighing just 150 g—stays secure and comfortable during extended sets, while the integrated charging contacts allow quick two-hour turnarounds between gigs.
Wireless Performance & Connectivity
Operating across two selectable bands (550.1–662.9 MHz and 730.1–831.9 MHz), the DPT800 delivers an ultra-wide switching bandwidth of up to 150 MHz, making it ideal for multichannel deployments where frequency coordination is critical. Switchable radio output power—10 or 20 mW ERP maximum, depending on region and application—ensures optimal signal strength without unnecessary power drain in tight venues or controlled RF environments.
Audio Input & Security
The three-pin mini XLR audio input accepts any AKG lavalier, headset, or instrument microphone and provides 5V bias voltage with three gain settings (0 dB, +10 dB, +20 dB) for precise level matching. 512-bit encryption technology protects against signal interception, while remote infrared programming from the paired DSR800 receiver eliminates the need for manual setup and enables mute control via an optional external switch.

At a Glance
The AKG DPT800 is a compact, lightweight bodypack transmitter purpose-built for live theater, touring, conferences, and multi-channel wireless deployments. Its ergonomic 150 g design won't fatigue performers or speakers during long sets, while dual-band operation (550–662 MHz and 730–831 MHz) and up to 150 MHz switching bandwidth handle tight frequency coordination in crowded RF environments. 512-bit encryption, three-position gain control, and remote IR programming from a paired DSR800 receiver ensure secure, road-ready performance with minimal setup headache.
Frequently Asked Questions
What microphones can I connect to the DPT800?
The DPT800 accepts any AKG lavalier, headset, or instrument microphone via its three-pin mini XLR input socket. It provides 5V bias voltage and three switchable gain settings (0 dB, +10 dB, +20 dB) to match the output of different mic types.
How long does the battery last, and how quickly can it recharge?
The DPT800 delivers up to 6.5 hours of operating time on standard rechargeable NiMH batteries and recharges fully in approximately two hours via integrated charging contacts.
What are the two frequency bands, and why does switching bandwidth matter?
Band 1 covers 550.1–662.9 MHz and Band 2 covers 730.1–831.9 MHz, allowing you to select the clearest channel in your venue. The ultra-wide 150 MHz switching bandwidth enables seamless frequency coordination when deploying multiple wireless systems in the same space.
How much does the DPT800 weigh, and will it be comfortable during long performances?
The DPT800 weighs only 150 g (about 5.3 oz) and measures 82 × 65 × 28 mm, making it lightweight and ergonomic enough to wear comfortably on a belt or harness throughout extended theater productions, tours, or conferences without fatigue.
What security features protect my wireless signal?
The DPT800 employs 512-bit encryption technology to prevent signal interception. It also supports remote infrared programming and mute control via the paired DSR800 receiver, eliminating the need for manual menu setup on the bodypack itself.
