WMS 4500

• Complete wireless networkable solution for touring and installations.
• Maximum performance in an ultra-compact design.
• Integration into a HiQnet® system with optional HUB 4000 Q

The WMS 4500 is the Wireless System for the professional use. It is based on the market feedback of its successful predecessor WMS 4000.

The result is not only even more robust system, it also includes a number of useful features including an advanced backlit display on the transmitters and the receiver, remaining battery life readout, silent mode, pilot tone status data transmission, environment scan and rehearsal functions, auto setup frequency search, and many other functions that make the WMS 4500 extremely user-friendly.

Interesting detail: The charging unit CU 4000 reduced the operation cost almost to null, additionally it helps the environment to reduce the waste on batteries. The charging unit comprises two loading slots, so it is possible to recharge either two transmitters (HT 4500, PT 4500) or two battery packs BP 4000.

The WMS 4500 is fully compatible to its predecessor WMS 4000. Additionally it offers 2 new frequency bands in the range of 500 – 530 Mhz and 570 – 590 Mhz.

All in all the WMS 4500 provides not only an unparalleled sound quality, but also an robustness and an feature set, which is unrivalled in this price segment.

HiQnet® - System Architect
The SR 4500 can be integrated into a HiQnet® system with the optional HUB 4000 Q. With the Harman PC control software System Architect™ the SR 4500 can be remote controlled and monitored from a PC. The setup and configuration of the frequency management of a multichannel wireless system is incredibly easy within System Architect™ with tools like 1 Click Setup, RF Monitor, Device Manager and Environment Scan.

WMS 4500
The wireless receiver shall operate over a 30 MHz UHF frequency range in one of 8 bands from 500 MHz to 863 MHz, with a wide range of possible frequency settings. The wireless microphone system shall incorporate factory-optimized sets of both sending and receiving frequency modules that are built into both transmitters and receivers. Each frequency set shall comprise a 30 MHz UHF band and offer up to 1,200 discrete operating frequencies within that band. The receiver shall operate on the true diversity principle, and the switching circuit shall be inaudible. Total harmonic distortion at 1 kHz for rated deviation shall be no greater than 0.3%. The receiver shall provide for a manual squelch adjustment as well as an automatic squelch option (tone code squelch) for optimum system operation. Audio output shall include a balanced XLR connector as well as an unbalanced 6.3 mm / 1/4-inch jack connectors. The output from the 3-pin XLR-type connector shall be adjustable in 3 steps (-30, 0, +6 dB). A RJ11 data port for connecting HUB 4000 Q communicating with Harman System Architect PC software. A logic out connector shall be provided. The receiver shall be controlled by a jog wheel and shall provide a backlit color display as well as a programmable LED ring (red/green) showing the overall system status.
