Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CK99 L lavalier require phantom power, or does the PT45 body-pack handle that internally?
The PT45 body-pack transmitter powers the CK99 L directly — no phantom power from the receiver is needed. The lavalier plugs into the transmitter, which runs on a single AA battery, keeping the signal chain self-contained and presenter-friendly.
What frequency range does this system operate on, and is it legal to use in a broadcast or house-of-worship environment?
The system operates in the 530.025–559.000 MHz UHF range. Before deploying in any fixed installation or broadcast environment, verify local frequency coordination — UHF spectrum allocations vary by region and can conflict with licensed broadcasters.
How does the CK99 L lavalier's polar pattern affect placement on a presenter?
The CK99 L is an omnidirectional lavalier, which means it picks up sound from all directions equally. This makes placement forgiving — slight shifts in the capsule won't dramatically alter the sound — but it also means it will capture room noise and HVAC more readily than a directional lav would.
What is the practical range of the PT45 transmitter and SR45 receiver under real-world conditions?
AKG rates the system for typical presentation environments. In open, unobstructed spaces the RF link is reliable, but dense crowds, metal structures, and competing RF sources (Wi-Fi, IEM systems) will compress effective range. Line-of-sight to the receiver antenna matters significantly.
Can the SR45 receiver feed directly into a mixer's line-level input?
Yes. The SR45 outputs a balanced or unbalanced audio signal suitable for feeding a mixing console, audio interface, or PA system input. Match your gain staging carefully — set the transmitter output level conservatively to preserve headroom and avoid driving the receiver's output into clipping.
