AKG will release the IVM 4500 IEM in-ear monitoring package at the forthcoming AES Convention.
Aimed at tour and installed sound applications, the system includes high-end radio electronic signals and a manual radio signal attenuator for more RF dynamic; enhanced frequency set-up to show the number of free channels and supported TV channels and quick frequency change functions to support monitors, all within a rugged housing and offerings of new Bands: 1, 3, 4 and 9. Battery life for the IVM receivers has been tested up to 10 hours.
Antenna diversity, with two matched antennas and a new reference radio electronic design contribute to the stable signals of the receiver. The IVM 4500 claims a powerful high-end headphone amplifier, ultra linear frequency response and dual mode for individual mix. Quick frequency change functions support monitor engineers throughout performances to make projects easily adjustable.
Included in the IVM 4500 IEM system are the SPR 4500 IEM diversity receiver, which automatically shows the number of free channels and supports TV channels with pre-programmed preset frequencies; the SST 4500 IEM transmitter, which is adjustable to 10, 20, 50 and 100 mW depending on country laws; and the IP 2 ear-channel headphones, providing excellent acoustics and low impedance. The SPC 4500 antenna combiner, the SRA 2 W directional antenna and the RA 4000 W omni-directional antenna complete the package.
‘The AKG IVM 4500 IEM in-ear monitoring hardware sets a new standard in audio quality and radio performance as we continue to provide engineers with the best and highest functioning equipment available,’ says Wolfgang Fritz, AKG Product Marketing Manager for Tour Sound. ‘It will truly be a groundbreaking system to the touring industry as the search for the ultimate monitoring sound continues.’
