AKG WMS470 C5 VOCAL SET BD7 - Professional Wireless Microphone System

The WMS470 C5 delivers the reliability and sonic clarity expected from AKG's professional wireless systems. The handheld transmitter sits naturally in the palm, with the C5 condenser capsule providing responsive proximity and minimal handling noise during live performance. This is a genuine workhorse system built for touring venues, studios, and broadcast environments where dependable RF performance and audio fidelity are non-negotiable.

Wireless Performance & Coverage

Operating in the 500.1–530.5 MHz UHF band, the system supports up to 16 simultaneous channels within the same frequency range—essential for multi-vocalist setups and larger productions. The 50 mW transmission power and space diversity receiver architecture ensure solid RF penetration and dropout-free operation across medium to large venues, while FM modulation provides clean, interference-resistant audio delivery.

Audio Characteristics & Output Flexibility

The C5 capsule captures a clean 35–20,000 Hz audio bandwidth with exceptional clarity, backed by a 120 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio that keeps background hum and RF artifacts inaudible. Dual output options—microphone level and line level from the half-rack receiver—integrate seamlessly into both compact mixing consoles and large-format FOH systems without additional preamps or adapters.
