Frequently asked questions
Can I use these products together?
Yes. The LC617 MD is a lavalier microphone (the source) and the RA4000/EW is a receiving antenna. To complete a wireless system, you would pair the LC617 MD with an AKG wireless transmitter pack, and use the RA4000/EW antenna connected to a wireless receiver to capture the transmitted signal.
What skill level do I need for each?
The LC617 MD is straightforward—clip it to talent and connect to a transmitter pack; beginners can handle this. The RA4000/EW is designed for intermediate to professional installers who understand RF coverage planning and mounting in venues.
Which one is better for outdoor use?
The LC617 MD is sweat and moisture resistant, making it suitable for outdoor speaking or performance. The RA4000/EW is waterproof and equally suited to outdoor mounting, so both can be deployed outside.
Do I need to buy both?
Not necessarily. The LC617 MD alone is just the microphone element; you need a wireless transmitter and receiver to use it wirelessly. The RA4000/EW improves antenna reception for any compatible AKG wireless system but works only if you already have a receiver and microphone transmitter in place.
