Harman’s AKG WMS4500 analogue reference wireless microphone system provides high channel quantity and reliability with an easy setup. Combining several frequency bands allows the operation of up to 70 channels simultaneously, providing headroom of security for channel management. An optional network remote control allows frequency co-ordination and monitoring of multichannel systems via PC software System Architect, Apple
iPhone/iPad/iPod or Soundcraft Vi consoles. For easy configuration of customised systems, all system components are available individually. Each set, along with its custom microphone selections, includes the SR4500 receiver with an HT4500 handheld transmitter or PT4500 bodypack transmitter.

beyerdynamic claims the TG 1000 is the first digital 24-bit wireless system that covers 319MHz of the UHF bandwidth (470-789MHz), making it a reliable and secure system that can be used in a wide variety of applications. The large selection of interchangeable microphone capsules for the handheld transmitter and the integrated 24-bit converter make the TG 1000 perfect for touring use. The system’s 24-channel cascading makes it possible to operate up to 12 devices (24 channels) simultaneously and smoothly without using an additional antenna splitter. This means additional equipment is no longer required for larger live performance applications. The digital system’s flexibility and protection against unauthorised listening makes it a viable option for the world of business as well. Transmission encryption ensures that meetings and sensitive information remain completely confidential. As the system is easy to use with intuitive OneButton Navigation even novice users can operate it without assistance. The web server- based Chameleon software can be adapted for any end device and can be updated at any time. The TG 1000 digital wireless system also offers top performance when converting and compromising audio signals. The TriplePlay Codec minimises error values while increasing error resistance. In addition, the TG 1000 sets a benchmark with a total latency value of 2.1 milliseconds for compressing and transferring audio signals, as opposed to the current industry standard of 2.9 milliseconds.

The matching AWDR-1 Diversity Receiver and AWT-1 Transmitter are designed and manufactured in the UK by Audio Wireless at Elstree Film Studios. Featuring a tuning range of up to 120MHz to enable straightforward use worldwide, the designs offer a high level of RF signal integrity, with a wide dynamic range and audio transparency. The AWDR-1 ensures protection from unwanted transmitters or adjacent-band interference with its digital-switching tracking filter that scans the entire frequency band to select an empty channel. Both products are built into robust aluminium cases, with easy-twist captive battery compartment covers, and offer simple ergonomic operation with various powering options (the AWT- 1 can be powered by a single AA cell). The products are easily programmable via a backlit LCD, across the 470-790MHz range as standard, and feature comprehensive status indicators including battery condition. Audio Wireless systems can be supplied with a choice of high-grade connectors, and a variety of system housings are available that accommodate up to five AWDR-1 receivers plus NP1 battery, complete with antenna and power distribution, to create portable multichannel receiver systems for a location recordist’s sound bag or sound cart.

The Lectrosonics Venue receiver system combines the compact form factor of up to six channels in 1RU with the sonic clarity of Digital Hybrid Wireless – a proprietary transmission method that avoids using a compandor in the audio path. Moreover, the Venue system incorporates antenna distribution for using up to 24 channels on a single pair of antennas. The result is a rack-friendly wireless system with superb RF and audio performance. The HH handheld transmitter takes any standard thread-on capsule head such as from Shure, DPA, EV, Heil Sound, Earthworks, and Telefunken, with no adapters necessary. Capsule heads from Audix, Sennheiser, and Neumann can also be used with the appropriate adapters. The HH features selectable RF power, an innovative talkback feature, and a slim, elegant design. The SM Series transmitters are known for their small size and versatility. The single-battery SMb (SMV in the US) is compact with remote programming, selectable RF power, and adaptable microphone input. The SMDb (SMQV in the US) has the same features but uses two AA batteries for a much longer run time while also remaining quite compact.
