Frequently asked questions
Do these products work together?
No. The CS3 CU is a complete wired chairperson system with built-in capsule and speaker. The DPT800 is a transmitter-only bodypack that requires a separate microphone (lavalier, headset, or instrument) connected via 3-pin mini XLR input and a DSR800 receiver to complete the wireless chain.
Which is better for a mobile presenter?
The DPT800 is designed for mobility—it's lightweight (150g), wireless, and lets the presenter move freely. The CS3 CU is table-mounted with a 2m cable, making it suitable only for stationary chairpersons.
What microphone capsule does the DPT800 use?
The DPT800 is a transmitter only and does not include a microphone. You must supply your own AKG lavalier, headset, or instrument microphone and connect it via the 3-pin mini XLR input. The CS3 CU, by contrast, includes a cardioid CS321 condenser capsule.
Which system needs external amplification?
The CS3 CU has a built-in speaker for small-to-medium venues, reducing external amp requirements. The DPT800 is a transmitter and requires a DSR800 receiver and external speakers or PA system to produce audio output.
