Environment Scan and Rehearsal Mode

The SR 4000 comes with a large number of assistants that make a professional setup incredibly easy and substantially increase operating reliability. The Environment Scan “spies on” the RF environment and warns of interfering frequencies in time (e.g., active TV transmitters etc.).

Rehearsal Mode also features an early warning system that records the most important system parameters during the soundcheck and can be used to identify potential problems ahead of time.

Multichannel capability, frequency management, and auto setup

Its wide frequency range and multiplicity of selectable fre- quencies make the WMS 4000 an excellent choice for mul- tichannel systems. The built-in frequency management system helps you find the right frequency. Preset banks pro- vide sets of intermodulation-free frequencies. The Auto Setup function rapidly identifies clean frequencies. For a FREE download of the frequency management program for your PC, visit www.akg.com/frequencies.

Logic Out and Output Level Selector

The Logic Out supplies the following information: first, a sig- nal indicating the mute status of the audio output, and second, the condition of the transmitter batteries. A unit with Logic In can be programmed to have a signal light illu- minating when the transmitter battery is low. The output level selector can be used for setting the audio signal either to standard level or to +6 or -30 dB. This function allows you, for example, to adjust the level of a wireless condenser microphone to that of a hardwire dynamic microphone.
