Wolfgang Fritz / Jan. 2009

Introduction

The following schematics will help you to easily set up multi channel systems.

Please use the equipment that is specified in the schematics only.

For your convenience and understanding, we’ve added technical information and part lists.

You can use this part lists when ordering the system you require! If you need any help

regarding the frequency regulations or if your particular situation doesn’t allow for a standard

system to be installed, please do not hesitate to contact us under support@akg.com.

All the DMS700 Systems in this document are designed with active antennas that can used

in all venues with a 20m RG58 antenna cable.

SRA2 B/W active directional antenna

For Venues (tour sound &installs) that cover large distances (up to 100m, 330 ft) like

music halls, stadiums and other open air applications.

RA4000 B/W active omni-directional antenna

For Venues without a designated transmitter area and up to 100m/330 ft free line of

sight. Ideal for conference rooms, multi purpose halls, houses of worship etc.

Technical Information

Wireless Basics

Every wireless microphone system has to operate on one specific frequency Transmitter and receiver of a system need to work on the same frequency Two transmitters cannot be used with the same frequency at the same time

Receiver/Antenna Placement

Direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver antenna Place the receiver/antennas at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from all transmitters Place the receiver antennas at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal object, wire(particularly wire mesh) or sheet metal structures, walls, ceilings, etc. Do not place the antennas in hidden places (behind walls) Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any equipment that may emit RF radiation such as lighting racks, fluorescent lamps, digital effect units, or PCs

Squelch

DMS 700 has a variable squelch level. This level depends on the RF-environment and is adjusted automaticaly in order to ensure best quality in the range of operating.

– The audio turns on only in the presence of an DMS700 transmitter with the correct

encryption key and an adequate signal quality

– If received signal has a bad quality or can not decrypted the audio output is muted

Intermodulation

Intermodulation is the result of two or more signals of different frequencies being mixed together, forming additional signals that are not harmonic frequencies of either.

By using more than one transmitter simultaneously at the same location,intermodulation happens in the receiver and/or transmitter. In your case this intermodulation products

are generated in the bandwidth that you are using.

To avoid intermodulating frequencies, we offer you pre-calculated frequencies as presets in the DSR700, SR450 and SR4500 receiver. Please, make sure that when setting up a multi channel system, all your receivers are set to the same country preset (NAME) and group. Use the Quicksetup function (Automatic setup) to scan for intermodulation-free and clean frequencies at your venue.

HUB 4000 Q

The HUB 4000 Q adds HiQnet functionality to an AKG wireless system (DSR 700, SR 4500, SST 4 and upcoming devices are supported). For large wireless systems multiple HUB 4000 Q’s can be used and controlled from a single computer. With connecting the HUB 4000 Q to a HiQnet network the user is able to monitor and control an AKG wireless system from a computer running System Architect.

HiQnet System Architect

The simple and easy to use user interface of the HUB 4000 Q plug in within System Architect allows the user to setup and configure the wireless system easy and fast with tools like Auto Setup, Environment Scan, RF Monitor and Device Manager.

HiQnet System Architect also allows custom configuration of custom made user interfaces which makes it a perfect tool for installed sound and tour sound applications.

Today's HiQnet system is built from flagship products from Harman Pro brands AKG Acoustics, BSS Audio, Crown International, dbx Professional, JBL Professional, Lexicon Pro, Soundcraft and Studer.

Cable Attenuation

To obtain the best sound possible, you need to have the right RF input level throughout your signal chain. Premium quality wireless systems like the DMS700, WMS450 and WMS4500, offer you adjustable RF-level settings that garantee to maximise operating distance even when using different cable lenghts and different types of cable! For this purpose, AKG’s PS4000W antenna splitter, has 3 dip switches that you’ll find on the right side of it’s front panel, behind the AKG logo.

RG58 Cable Attenuation (MKPS, MKA5, MKA20 antenna cable)

PS4000 dip switch

This dip switch reduce the input RF level of the PS4000 between 0 dB and 14 dB. All antenna output level and the cascade(link) output level have an effect on this reduction.

AB4000 dip switch

The AB4000 has a fix 17.5dB amplifier in the output stage. The dip switch reduce the input RF level of the AB4000 between 0 dB and -14 dB. AB4000 get the DC power through the antenna cable from the PS4000 or an ASU4000 unit.
