beyerdynamic ’ s TG 500 wireless system makes Asian debut
beyerdynamic is unveiling the TG 500 wireless system , which is designed for performances on smaller stages , theatre productions , speeches or presentations .
As the successor to beyerdynamic ’ s Opus 600 series , TG 500 offers “ modern features ” and can be used licence-free almost all over the world , depending on the frequency band selected .
TG 500 is available in five sets , each of which contains an individual receiver and two removable antennas . The TG 550 Vocal Set is equipped with the dynamic TG 500H-D handheld transmitter with a TG V50 capsule ( dynamic capsule , cardioid ) and is particularly suited for singing , whereas the TG 556 Vocal Set comes with a TG 500H-C handheld transmitter with a TG V56 capsule ( condenser capsule , cardioid ), making it ideal for presentations .
There are matching microphone clamps for both handheld transmitters . The TG L58 clip-on microphone ( condenser , omnidirectional ) from the TG 558 Presenter Set can be worn in an inconspicuous position during lectures , while the TG 534 Headworn Set with a TG H34 neckworn microphone ( condenser , supercardioid ) is the recommended choice for theatre productions .
Electric and bass guitars can be miked using the WA-CGI instrument cable ( 6.35mm mono jack ), which is part of the TG 510 Instrument Set . With an operating range of up to 120m , the beyerdynamic TG 500 allows for substantially greater freedom than comparable systems , says beyerdynamic .
The switching bandwidth is up to 40MHz , and when all four frequency bands ( 518 – 548MHz , 606 – 636MHz , 794 – 832MHz and 1.780 – 1.810MHz ) are used , up to 72 channels ( 18 compatible frequencies per band ) can be operated simultaneously , thus making the TG 500 system suitable even for larger installations . Each of the five TG 500 sets is available for use in one of four frequency bands , so there are 20 different sets to choose from in total .
At the heart of every set is a receiver with a durable metal enclosure and diversity antenna operation . Two of the 9.5-inch devices can be mounted side-byside in the rack . A dual receiver in 19-inch format ( 1HU ) is also available and features a built-in antenna splitter . The dual receiver supplies the antenna phantom power required for using remote antennas .
The diversity antenna operation guarantees optimum reception for all the receivers , ensuring that there are no unwanted interruptions in transmission even in challenging environments . The two audio channels of the dual receiver can be relayed via a common output if so desired — and thanks to the mixed output , there is no need for an external mixing console .
Intermodulation-free transmission frequencies are also provided in pre-configured groups to ensure interference-free multichannel operation . Frequencies can also be freely allocated , while a scan function with automatic search provides assistance for system set-up . The integrated pilot tone function ensures interference-free transmission and gives a warning when the

battery power is running low .
Designed to provide a firm grip , the handheld transmitters from the TG-500 series include a pocket transmitter , which can be easily and quickly positioned using a beltpack transmitter clip . With transmission performance able to be switched between 10mW and 50mW , settings are communicated to the transmitters via infrared synchronisation .
The transmission frequencies are grouped together , but they can also be freely specified by the user . A scan function assists with the set-up process and the pilot tone function ensures interference-free transmission .
The handheld transmitters also feature a mute button at thumb level on the microphone shaft , and the beltpack transmitter has a programmable mute button on the top .
In addition to working with normal batteries , the transmitters can also be operated using standard NiMH batteries , which can be charged using the optional WA-CD charging dock .
