A Pro-quality Digital Wireless Transmitter That's Built to Last

The AKG DPT 700 digital wireless microphone transmitter packs high-quality performance into a tough, compact bodypack chassis! Compatible with 3-pin headworn or lavalier mics, the DPT 700 uses an ultra-wide 155MHz bandwidth to give you clear, reliable transmission in any environment. This handy transmitter includes an easy-to-read display with channel, power, and frequency information, as well as battery status. You can also add an external mute switch for easy muting when the receiver isn't in quick reach (a real plus for feedback issues). Add easy setup via an infrared data link and you've got a great blend of professional and user-friendly in the AKG DPT 700 bodypack!

AKG DPT 700 Digital Wireless Microphone System Transmitter Bodypack at a Glance:
  • Wide bandwidth for professional results
  • 3-pin mic compatibility, optional external mute
  • Go digital for great sound and performance in any environment

Wide bandwidth for professional results
DPT 700 is a professional bodypack transmitter with a rugged all-metal chassis. it uses an ultra-wide bandwidth of up to 155 MHz for reliable transmission — even in a crowded RF environment. You get up to 50mW RF output power for very flexible operation. An infrared data link sends all setup data to the assigned transmitter. The bright graphic display shows channel, frequency, output power and battery status information.


3-pin mic compatibility, optional external mute
The DPT 700 has a jack for an optional external mute switch that mutes the audio signal even when the transmitter is not easy to reach. Its 3-pin mini-XLR audio input is compatible with any lavalier or headworn microphone and provides a bias voltage of 5 volts.

Go digital for great sound and performance in any environment
The use of digital audio transmission eliminates distortions and significant noise levels at high audio frequencies. It also protects you from bad audio performance due to low RF link quality.
This makes the DPT 700 transmitter ideal for broadcast applications, conferences, courtrooms, houses of worship, and stage and music performances.

  • Rugged and compact with all-metal construction

Don't bother

Music Background: Professional Sound Designer and Engineer
So you know where I'm coming from, I am a professional sound designer and engineer currently working as A2 on a production using twenty of these at a well known lort d theatre.

We have ... read more [+]had these mics for about two months and it has been problem after problem with both the transmitters and receivers. Even with the 50MW transmission, reception is terrible. We are also using a Shure UR1M with the same 50mw power and same antennas without any problems. Maybe if the performer is wearing the pack over their clothes it would work, but in the real world dropouts are unavoidable. This is the second problem. Instead of just discretely cutting out, these make an awful digital noise when they drop out.

Build quality of these also seems weak. Several times, I have had the window over the display pop out. The receivers also feel flimsy. Several of them shipped with knobs that felt gritty or buttons that didn't work unless you pushed them hard enough to make your finger hurt.

These are problems that would have been caught if AKG did 100% testing, as Lectrosonics does. Other problems that should have been caught include battery meters that will sometimes drop to a bar or two for half an hour or more before returning to normal and he RF indicator lights on several receivers have gone out for undetermined reasons only to return several days later.

The only good point about these is the sound quality is excellent if you can get them working.

Overall..
Pay a little more and get the Lectrosonics SMDa. It is worth it to avoid the stress and headaches. The Lectrosonics are also digital but they are much smaller, better battery life, much more durable milled aluminum housing, 100% testing of all their equipment, equal or better sound quality, made in the USA. They also have some additional features, such as remote RF muting and six channel per rack space receivers. close [-]
