Frequently asked questions
Can I use both products together?
Yes, they are complementary. The RMU700 organizes your wireless charging in a rack, while the CK41 is a capsule that attaches to a wireless body pack or handheld transmitter. They serve different functions in a wireless microphone system.
What is the CK41 best suited for?
The CK41 is engineered for professional live performance, studio vocals, and broadcast applications where pristine clarity and feedback rejection are essential. It is not recommended for casual practice or budget-conscious setups.
Do I need the RMU700 if I only have one charging unit?
The RMU700 mounts one or two charging units, so it accommodates single-unit setups. It is most valuable if you want to eliminate desktop clutter and integrate charging into a standard 19-inch rack.
Is the CK41 compatible with non-AKG wireless systems?
The CK41 is designed for AKG mounting modules in the DAM+ Series and is optimized for AKG wireless systems. Compatibility with other brands' wireless bodies should be verified before purchase.
