AKG HT4500 Professional Handheld Wireless Transmitter
The HT4500 is a compact, metal-bodied analog transmitter engineered for studio and live recording environments where frequency stability and transparent audio transmission are essential. Its ergonomic form factor—just 247 mm tall and weighing 125 grams—works seamlessly in hand-held vocal tracking, on-location recording, and broadcast sessions, while the rugged construction survives the demands of professional studio use and field recording without compromise.
Wireless Performance & Range
Operating across the 500 MHz to 862 MHz UHF band with up to 1,200 selectable frequencies in 25 kHz steps, this transmitter provides the frequency agility needed for multi-channel recording setups and studio environments with competing wireless systems. The dipole-antenna design ensures reliable transmission even when the antenna is partially covered by the user’s hand, while switchable RF output of 10 to 50 mW delivers maximum signal strength for studio-to-receiver distances with a line-of-sight range of approximately 100 meters.
Battery Life & Audio Quality
Two included LR6 AA alkaline batteries provide 15 hours of continuous operating time, with real-time pilot tone feedback displaying remaining battery life in hours directly to the receiver—critical for full-session tracking without interruption. The transmitter delivers transparent audio with a 35–20,000 Hz frequency response, 120 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio, and 0.3% THD at 1 kHz, preserving vocal detail and sonic nuance through your recording chain.
