Frequently asked questions
Can I use these two products together?
No. The PT470 BD7 is a transmitter that sends audio wirelessly to a separate receiver unit (not included). The C1000 S is a self-contained microphone with no transmitter. You could connect the C1000 S to the PT470 BD7's XLR input if you owned both, but they serve different roles—one captures sound, the other broadcasts it.
Which is better for live stage use?
The PT470 BD7 is purpose-built for live performance and touring, offering wireless freedom and 100-meter range. The C1000 S is a hand-held mic suitable for on-stage vocal or instrument capture, but it requires a wired connection to an amplifier or mixer—it does not transmit wirelessly.
What is the audio quality difference?
The PT470 BD7 delivers 120 dB-A SNR with transparent FM transmission, optimized for voice and instrument clarity on wireless systems. The C1000 S achieves 73 dB-A SNR with low 21 dB-A self-noise, designed for studio-precision recording. Both are professional-grade, but serve different signal chains.
How long do batteries last on each?
The PT470 BD7 runs up to 14 hours on a single AA battery (with NiMH recharge support). The C1000 S lasts up to 120 hours on two AA batteries or runs indefinitely on phantom power, making it far more practical for sessions without battery changes.
