AKG this week announced a trade-in program for customers of any brand of wireless system that operates in the over-698 MHz range. Company officials said the program gives customers a $100 instant rebate when they trade-in their 700-MHz wireless system against the purchase of an AKG WMS 450 system through a participating contractor or retail dealer.
Shure has launched a similar rebate program.
AKG officials said the WMS 450 complies with all FCC regulations and is an idea step-up wireless system. It is available in three 30-MHz wide, FCC regulation-compliant bands in the United States that operate in the 500 to 680 MHz range. In each band, up to 12 systems can be operated simultaneously and up to 36 systems can be used when multiple bands are combined.
"The WMS 450 is the logical next step in wireless systems and is equipped with frequency agility, comprehensive frequency management software, and powerful 50-milliwatt transmitters," said Joe Wagoner, AKG product manager for wireless products, in a statement.
The WMS 450 system is available in a number of different configurations for handheld, lavalier, head-worn, and instrument applications.
