To Next PageTo Next PageWhat causes momentary loss of sound ('dropouts') in my AKG WMS 470?
Antenna location can cause dropouts. Relocate the receiver or antennas. If dead spots persist, mark and avoid them during performance.
What to do if my AKG WMS 470 Microphone system has distortion?
Distortion in your AKG Microphone system can stem from a couple of sources. First, check the GAIN control on the transmitter; it might be set too high or too low. Adjust it just enough to eliminate the distortion. Another potential cause is interference from other wireless systems, TVs, radios, CB radios, or defective electrical appliances. Try switching off these potential sources of interference or tune the transmitter and receiver to a different frequency. If problems persist, have your electrical installation checked.
Why does my AKG WMS 470 have dropouts?
Momentary sound loss, or dropouts, in your AKG Microphone system can often be attributed to antenna location. Try relocating the receiver or antennas. If dead spots persist, mark and avoid them during performance.
How to resolve ERR.>SYS< error on my AKG WMS 470 Microphone system receiver?
If your AKG Microphone system receiver displays an ERR.>SYS< error, it indicates that frequency settings cannot be changed. To resolve this, switch the power to the receiver OFF and then back ON after about 10 seconds.
What does ERR.>PRE< mean on my AKG Microphone system receiver?
The ERR.>PRE< error on your AKG Microphone system receiver indicates an error in the selected Preset. You can continue with the previous Preset or select an error-free Preset.
What to do if my AKG Microphone system receiver shows Error Messages ERR.>SYS
If you see the error message ERR.>SYS< on your receiver, it means the frequency settings cannot be changed. Try switching the power to the receiver OFF and then back ON after about 10 seconds.
What to do if AKG Microphone system receiver and transmitter show ERR.>USR
If the receiver and transmitter show ERR.>USR
What to do if AKG Microphone system receiver and transmitter show Err.>IR?
If the receiver and transmitter show Err.>IR, it means the infrared transmission failed. Point the transmitter infrared sensor directly at the receiver infrared emitter from a distance of approximately 2 inches (5 cm).
Why does my AKG Microphone system have noise, crackling, or unwanted signals?
Noise, crackling, and unwanted signals can occur due to: * Antenna location issues. Try relocating the receiver or antennas. * Interference from other wireless systems, TV, radio, CB radios, or defective electrical appliances or installations. Switch off any potential interference sources or defective appliances. You can also try tuning the transmitter and receiver to a different frequency.
What does >-h< mean on my AKG WMS 470 transmitter?
The >-h< indication on your AKG Microphone system transmitter means that the transmitter cannot identify the battery as a dry or rechargeable type. Try removing the battery and reinserting it after approximately five seconds. Also, if the transmitter was switched on during charging, remove it from the charger, switch it off, and restart charging.
