As the UK and Ireland distributor for all Harman Professional products, Sound Technology Ltd. will premiere AKG's flagship DMS 700 V2 digital wireless system at PLASA on stand no: E21.

Taking reliable professional audio transmission to the next level, AKG has launched the DMS 700 V2 digital wireless microphone system. With 512-bit encryption, ultra-low latency and the new DPT700 bodypack, DMS700 V2 offers artists and engineers absolute confidence in performance with a reliable, easy-to- use wireless component, the company says.

Already compatible with the future-proof channel 38, DMS700 v2 is now available pre-loaded with UK-specific frequency presets. In addition, DMS700 v2 is now also available with a hand-held transmitter featuring AKG's premium D7 dynamic capsule, a very highly regarded capsule delivering open sound across all frequencies akin to a condenser mic but with the powerful resonance of a dynamic mic.

The free software update includes the 512- bit encryption,, AES-EBU output and 0.5ms improved latency, improved link quality and range improvements and output gain menu with a bar graph and ability to deactivate autolock.

The hardware upgrade ups the latency analogue output by 1 ms, increases the DPT 700 microphone input gain 0, +10 and +20dB and increases headphone output level by 24dB.

It offers the audio professional ease of use, quick set-up and reliable operation in this demanding industry, even in the most challenging environments."
