AKG WMS CU 400

THE AKG WMS 400 SERIES CHARGER

THE USER FRIENDLY QUICK 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.
