Available via free download in the Apple Tunes store, the new app adds features and updates the interface – in addition to monitoring and configuring AKG wireless systems through an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, it also supports control of settings from system design, to soundcheck and during performances – all through Harman’s HiQnetTM protocol and a Wi-Fi connection.
Supporting the Apple iPhone 4 retina display, v2.0 offers advanced control functionality, allowing management and modificationn of wireless system parameters, including the name of the setup and frequency signals. A new Alert system automatically issues a warning if there is a low microphone battery or an antenna malfunction. The app also suggests possible solutions for solving signal issues.
‘We have reached a completely new level of hands-on sound engineering with the AKG Wireless application 2.0,’ says Philipp Sonnleitner, Product Manager for HiQnet and system integration. ‘With the next generation of AKG’s smart phone-based technology, we are offering an intricate free service to our dedicated users, without extra expense or stress during the already demanding environment of a live sound event Version 2.0 is easy to use, but will have a dramatic affect on the industry, improving sound quality for audio professionals and musicians.’
Adding to the capabilities of the AKG 1.0 app, 2.0 revamps the wireless system and radio frequency connection monitoring capabilities, compatible with the AKG wireless mics, including the DMS 700, WMS 4000/4500 and IVM 4 in-ear monitoring system. With a Wi-Fi connection, users are connected to the AKG HUB 4000 Q, which can be used with HiQnet System Architect as the entire system is based on the advanced HiQnet protocol.
