- ✓ Dual independent charging slots charge two transmitters simultaneously without removal from the units
- ✓ Pulse charging technology with automatic current optimization and thermal management protects battery life
- ✓ Compact form factor; compatible with optional 19-inch rack mounting for integrated systems
Why choose AKG APS4 With No Power Supply
- ✓ Distributes two antenna signals across ten RF outputs to feed up to four receivers with switchable attenuation (0–14 dB) for precise level matching
- ✓ Powers up to three active antenna elements per signal path via 10 VDC rear-panel outputs, reducing external power needs
- ✓ Covers extended 470–952 MHz UHF range; cascadable design allows stacking up to three additional APS4 units for large-scale installations
Frequently asked questions
What wireless systems do these units support?
The CU800 charges transmitters for AKG DMS800 and DMS700 wireless systems (DHT800 and DPT800 models). The APS4 is a general-purpose UHF antenna distribution unit compatible with any wireless receiver using standard BNC connectors in the 470–952 MHz band.
Can I use both units together in one setup?
Yes. In a larger installation, you would use the CU800 to maintain your DMS800/DMS700 transmitter batteries and the APS4 to manage antenna distribution and receiver inputs, serving different functions in the signal chain.
What does 'No Power Supply' mean for the APS4?
The APS4 listed here does not include an external AC power adapter. You must provide a separate 12V DC power source to operate it; many installations use a dedicated power supply or integrate it into an existing rack power system.
How many devices can each unit support?
The CU800 charges two transmitters at a time. The APS4 distributes signal to up to ten RF outputs serving four receivers directly, with cascading capability to expand to additional zones.
