For simple setups, the AKG DMS100 allows for a total of four DMS100 systems to operate simultaneously. Each system's transmitter/receiver pair comprises one channel as denoted by a color code operating at the same time. For more simultaneous channels, the DMS300 (pictured) allows for up to eight systems with all receivers daisy-chained together via RJ12 6P6C-types cables (one included with each system) that are plugged into rear panel Sync ports.

Both systems use 24-bit/48-kHz uncompressed digital audio coding with advanced AES 256-bit encryption that keeps your wireless audio communications private. This feature makes the DMS systems perfect for confidential corporate or government meetings/events. In addition, these systems operate on the worldwide, license-free 2.4-gHz radio band.

Both systems come in two different transmitter variants with the ability to mix and match different transmitters using the same receiver. The transmitters send with only 10-mW of RF power and there are two choices are: a high quality, AKG handheld dynamic microphone or an instrument body pack transmitter that accepts 3-pin F mini-XLR for an AKG headset or clip-on lapel mic.

I received the AKG DMS100 system that included a handsome AKG HT100 handheld dynamic mic/transmitter, mic stand clip, a pair of AA-batteries, the SR100 stationary receiver, and a universal, 9-volt wall-wart power supply.

The range of the wireless system is specified at 100-feet but I found it to have nearly double that distance easily. I placed the receiver inside in my studio and walked around outside. I like that as a professional system, you get plenty of extra capability and reliability here.

Pairing the transmitter with the receiver is like Bluetooth pairing except much faster and perfected. The receiver blinks its color code and after I paired one time and held that setup when powering down the receiver and after changing the batteries in the transmitter. AKG touts only about 2.5-ms of audio latency--considered minimal and excellent news for live performers. This is a solid and well-designed system!

DMS300 receiver allows for even easier setup, monitoring and control; it features a high-resolution front-panel LCD screen that shows channel ID # of the transmitter and battery level of the paired transmitter. The DMS300 receiver has two removable "rubber duck" antennas on the front panel whereas the DMS100's antennas are built in.

The AKG DMS100 Microphone set (as tested) or DMS100 Instrument sells for $219 MSRP. The eight-channel capable DMS300 sells for $299 MSRP also in either variant.
