AKG announced that five different mic heads are now available for its WMS 4000 wireless mic system's handheld transmitter, the HT 4000. The heads are a design continuation from the company's cabled Emotion/TriPower series. Aside from launching a series of budget level microphones - the CCS (Crystal Clear Sound) Series - for speech, vocal and instrument miking, AKG's main news was that its first product to become compatible with Harman Group's HiQnet proprietary audio system control and configuration software (see L&SI March 2005) will be the WMS 4000.
