WIRELESS MICROPHONE
SYSTEM
The WMS 4000 is probably the most advanced and innovative pro-
fessional wireless system available today. It is based on intensive
R&D and has been thoroughly tested under real-life conditions
before being released for production. AKG's design engineers set
themselves extremely high objectives, so all competitive systems
were tested for ease of use and real-life dependability. Users were
asked to make a wish list of additional functions they would expect
of an “ideal” wireless system. These suggestions were examined for
feasibility. The result is the new WMS 4000 wireless microphone
system that stirred up speculations and discussions even before
the system was launched.
The most striking detail of the new WMS 4000 Series is the
advanced backlit display on both the handheld and bodypack
transmitters and the receiver. The display makes it easy to check the
selected preset and other important parameters including remain-
ing battery life, gain setting, or intermodulation-free frequencies.
The WMS 4000 transmitters provide a “Silent Mode” in which you
can set all system parameters such as carrier frequency, gain, etc.
without transmitting an RF signal. A “hidden” pilot tone monitor-
ing function in the 30 kHz range detects active transmitters within
the coverage area. The SR 4000 receiver provides unique software
that makes it extremely easy to set up the receiver. An
“Environment Scan” function scans the system's UHF range for
interference frequencies and displays a warning message if it
detects unwanted signals from, say, a TV station. “Rehearsal”
records important system parameters during the soundcheck and a
“Status” function will indicate selectable critical system conditions
during the performance.
The SR 4000 Stationary Receiver is a true diversity receiver that
ensures exceptional reliability. A 30 MHz wide UHF channel allows
many wireless microphones to be used simultaneously for true
multichannel operation. An automatic frequency scanner and
setup function quickly finds the best intermodulation-free
frequencies from a bank of presets. The SR 4000 is highly fre-
quency agile to accommodate any changes in frequency plans as
they may vary from date to date and location to location. Unlike
conventional wireless systems whose frequencies cannot be
