1. Introduction
Thank you for selecting the WMS 300 wireless microphone system
from AKG. To make the best use of your WMS 300, please read
this manual thoroughly before operating the equipment. Good
luck and have fun!
2. Precautions
1. Spill no liquids on the equipment and do not drop any objects
through any openings in the equipment.
2. Do not place the equipment near heat sources such as radia-
tors, air ducts, or amplifiers and do not expose it to direct sun-
light, excessive dust, moisture, rain, mechanical vibrations, or
shock.
3. HT 300 Handheld Transmitter
The HT 300 handheld transmitter specifically designed for the
WMS 300 wireless microphone system can be combined with
three interchangeable microphone elements, the D 3700 WL,
D 3800 WL, and C 5900 WL. The HT 300 transmitter op-
erates in the high-band UHF range between 770 MHz and
950 MHz and lets you select one of 16 carrier frequencies.
The transmitting antenna is protected from damage by an im-
pact resistant plastic cover. The controls are easy to locate
and recessed in the case in order to prevent accidental ac-
tuation.
The HT 300 is exceptionally rugged to survive tough handling
on stage.

Interchangeable Microphone
Elements
The D 3700 WL, D 3800 WL, and C 5900 WL interchangeable
microphone elements use the same transducer capsules and pro-
tective baskets as the cabled D 3700, D 3800, and C 5900 micro-
phones of the legendary Tri-Power Series and provide a number
of benefits:
– Frequency independent hypercardioid polar pattern for high
gain before feedback.
– Transducer shock mount and MMS Moving Magnet System for
optimum handling noise rejection.
– Integrated protective baskets for ultimate protection of the cap-
sule from damage.
– Integrated wind and pop screen.

5. PT 300 Bodypack Transmitter
The PT 300 bodypack transmitter has been specifically designed
for the WMS 300 wireless microphone system. The PT 300 oper-
ates within a cannel bandwidth of up to 20 MHz in the high-band
UHF range from 770 MHz to 950 MHz and lets you select one of
16 carrier frequencies within the channel bandwidth.
The audio input on a lockable mini jack accepts dynamic micro-
phones as well as condenser microphones for 5-V power supply.
You may also connect an electric guitar, electric bass, or portable
keyboard.
