3. General

DMS 700

The DMS 700 wireless microphone system is comprised of the DSR 700 stationary digital true-diversity
receiver, handheld transmitters DHT 700/C with the AKG C 5 microphone element and DHT 700/D with
the AKG D 5 microphone element and the DPT 700 bodypack transmitter. The receiver and transmitters
operate in a 155 MHz sub-band of each frequency set within the UHF band from 548 MHz to 865 MHz.
You can select the receiving frequency from pre-programmed frequency groups and sub-channels of your
receiver or set it directly in 25 MHz-increments. Both the handheld and the bodypack transmitter are set to
the parameters selected on the receiver via infrared transmission.

4. Setting Up

Prior to using your DMS 700, make certain that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same
frequency.

Connecting Antennas

The supplied ¼-wave antennas can be mounted quickly and easily and are suitable for applications where
a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver antenna is available and a wireless
microphone system is to be used without a lot of installation work.
Remote Antennas
You should use remote-mounted antennas if the receiver's position doesn't allow the best reception.
Connect the remote antennas to the BNC sockets (13, 14) at the rear of the receiver. Use RG58 cable for
connecting the antennas. For details on antennas, accessories, and frequency planning support visit our
website at www.akg.com.
Antenna Front-mount Cable
Use the BNC extension cable (AKG part #0110E01890) for mounting the ¼-wave antennas on the front
panel.

Positioning the Receiver

Signal reflections off metal objects, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other
people may weaken or block the direct transmitted signal.
For best results, place the receiver or remote antennas as follows:
DMS 700 V1.00
1 x DSR 700 Receiver, 2 x BNC UHF Antennas, 1 x EU-standard IEC Power cord, 1 x US-standard IEC
Power cord
DPT 700 transmitter, 2 x LR6 AA batteries
DHT 700 transmitter, 2 dry LR6 AA batteries, stand adapter, color code, windscreen
• Open the battery compartment cover (9).
• Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment, aligning the battery according to the polarity
symbols. If you insert the battery the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
• Close the battery compartment cover (9).
• Place the receiver/antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the
transmitter won't be used within 10 ft (3 m) of the receiver. Optimum separation is at least 16 ft. (5
m). Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter. Shadow effects
caused by people or objects can disrupt the radio link.
• Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (~1.5 m) away from any large metal objects, walls, scaffolding,
ceilings, etc.
• You can use the receiver either free-standing or mounted in a 19" equipment rack.
• If you install one or more receivers into a 19" rack, either mount the supplied antennas on the
receiver front panel(s) or use remote antennas. This is the only way to ensure optimum reception
quality.
