CES 2019 – LAS VEGAS—HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video, lighting and control systems, today announced new AKG DMS100 and DMS300 professional digital wireless systems.
AKG DMS digital wireless systems combine rock-solid 2.4GHz operation with signature AKG sound quality to deliver crisp, studio-quality sound with advanced security features, extended battery life, and ultimate ease-of-use. The eight-channel DMS300 and four-channel DMS100 are available in two configurations: a high-quality, AKG handheld microphone or an instrument- or headset-ready body pack. Offering 24-bit/48 kHz uncompressed audio coding, ultra-low latency and signal security provided by AES 256-bit encryption, DMS digital wireless systems deliver exceptional performance for singers, instrumentalists, and presenters.
AVNation special on wireless spectrum
“New AKG DMS professional digital wireless systems leverage more than 70 years of AKG microphone engineering to deliver unrivaled fidelity, security, and performance,” said Christopher Palmer, Product Manager, Microphones, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “Featuring iconic AKG sound and user-friendly controls, DMS digital wireless systems are the ideal solution for performing musicians, small- to medium-sized corporate and government presentations, houses of worship, fitness instructors, educators and anyone who seeks both studio-quality sound and freedom of movement onstage.”
DMS systems were designed from the ground up for intuitive operation, with push-button channel pairing and color-coding for easy identification. Adaptive channel selection takes the guesswork out of locating available wireless channels, and DMS300 features a high-resolution front-panel LCD screen that allows for easy setup, monitoring and control. Up to four DMS100 and up to eight DMS300 systems can be synced and used simultaneously.
DMS handheld transmitters feature an authentic AKG microphone capsule and acoustical engineering, and both the handheld transmitter and bodypack offer 24-bit, 48kHz resolution, and linear frequency response. The body pack is instrument ready or can be used with optional AKG headsets or clip-on mics.
AKG DMS digital wireless systems operate in the 2.4GHz band, a global license-free space, avoiding the interference found in traditional analog wireless systems. Built-in advanced AES 256-bit encryption protects the signal and keeps wireless audio communications private, making DMS systems ideal for confidential corporate or government settings.
