Frequently asked questions
Can I use the CK62 ULS for live performance?
No. The CK62 ULS is a wired capsule designed exclusively for stationary studio and location recording. It requires the C480 B pre-amp and does not support wireless operation. For live performance, use the SR470 BD8 wireless receiver.
Is the SR470 BD8 suitable for home recording?
No. The SR470 BD8 is a stationary rack-mount wireless receiver designed for venues, theaters, and broadcast installations. It requires compatible AKG wireless transmitters and is not practical for home recording setups. Use the CK62 ULS capsule for home recording instead.
What is the key frequency-response difference?
The CK62 ULS captures 20–20,000 Hz with reference-grade detail and 11 dB-A equivalent noise for quiet source work. The SR470 BD8 receiver handles 35 to 20,000 Hz and is optimized for intelligible speech and music transmission in live environments, not studio precision.
Do these products work together?
No. The CK62 ULS is a wired capsule requiring a C480 B pre-amp. The SR470 BD8 is a wireless receiver requiring AKG wireless transmitters. They serve entirely different audio chains and are not compatible with each other.
