HT4500 BD7 - Professional Handheld Transmitter
Description
The AKG HT4500 BD7 represents a reference-grade wireless handheld transmitter engineered for demanding professional audio applications including large theater productions, installed sound systems, and touring sound reinforcement. Operating in Band 7 frequency range with 50mW transmission power, this sophisticated transmitter employs an innovative dipole-antenna design that ensures reliable signal transmission even when performers completely cover one antenna pole with their hand, a common occurrence during live performances.
The unit's pilot tone system continuously communicates critical transmitter data to the receiver, including real-time mute switch status and precise remaining battery life readout in hours rather than generic bar indicators. This professional-grade transmitter accommodates four different interchangeable microphone heads, allowing sound engineers to select optimal microphone characteristics for specific vocal applications ranging from dynamic to condenser capsules.
The HT4500 delivers an exceptional battery performance of up to 15 hours on two standard AA alkaline batteries, eliminating performance anxiety from unexpected power failures during critical events. For organizations requiring rapid turnaround between events, the transmitter features integrated charging contacts compatible with the optional BP4000 rechargeable battery pack, which charges directly within the transmitter body. This package includes the HT4500 transmitter body, SA 63 stand adapter for tabletop or podium mounting applications, and two AA batteries for immediate deployment. The rugged construction withstands the rigors of professional touring while maintaining consistent audio quality across diverse environmental conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this transmitter include a microphone capsule?
No, the HT4500 BD7 ships with the transmitter body only. Microphone heads must be purchased separately, allowing you to choose from four different premium capsule options that best suit your specific vocal application requirements.
What is Band 7 and will it work in my region?
Band 7 operates in the 500.1 to 530.5 MHz frequency range. Verify that this frequency band is legally permitted for wireless microphone use in your country or region before purchase, as regulations vary internationally.
Can I charge rechargeable batteries inside the transmitter?
The HT4500 supports charging of the optional BP4000 rechargeable battery pack through integrated charging contacts. Standard AA rechargeable batteries cannot be charged within the unit and must be charged externally.
How does the battery life indicator work?
The HT4500 provides precise battery life readouts in hours through its pilot tone system, transmitting this information continuously to the compatible receiver. This allows accurate planning for battery changes during events without relying on generic bar indicators.
