THE AKG WMS 400 SERIES CHARGER

Any wireless microphone system depends on
sufficiently charged batteries in all the trans-
mitters. There is nothing more embarrassing
than a transmitter running out of juice in the
middle of the show, or a voice fading as the
transmitter battery dies.
Although the battery status indicators and war-
ning lights on the WMS 400 transmitters and
receiver alert you to a dying battery ahead of
time, it is still a good idea to use fresh dry or
fully charged rechargeable batteries.
However, the setup phase and the soundcheck
already use up some of each transmitter bat-
tery's capacity, so the batteries need to be top-
ped up before the show. Obviously, there is not
enough time to use a conventional charger, let
alone take the transmitters apart to get at the
batteries inside their compartments.
The CU 400 puts an end to this kind of hassle.
It can charge two batteries simultaneously to
full capacity within less than two hours, and
there is no risk of overcharging the batteries.
And what's more, you can leave the batteries
inside the transmitters. The transmitters and
charger use integrated charging contacts so all
you have to do is plug the transmitters into the
CU 400 and remove them after charging.
Integrated charging contacts for direct charging
Both the HT 400 and the PT 400 provide integrated bottom
panel charging contacts. To get the batteries fully charged in
less than two hours, just plug the transmitters into the CU 400.
A single CU 400 can charge two transmitters simultaneously,
making it easy to restore even a large number of transmitters
to maximum performance within a short time.
