• Prior to using your DMS 700, make certain that the transmitter and receiver are tuned
to the same frequency.
1. Open the battery compartment cover (9).
2. Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment, aligning the battery according to the
polarity symbols. If you insert the battery the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (9).
The supplied ¼-wave antennas can be mounted quickly and easily and are suitable for applications
where a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver antenna is available.
• You should use remote-mounted antennas if the receiver’s position doesn’t allow the best re-
ception.
- Connect the remote antennas to the NC sockets (14, 15) on the receiver rear panel.
- Use RG58 cable to connect the antennas.
- For details on antennas, accessories, and frequency planning support visit our website at
www.akg.com.
• Use the NC extension cable (AKG part #0110E01890) for mounting the ¼-wave antennas on
the front panel (13).
Signal reflections off metal objects, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other
people may weaken or block the direct transmitted signal.
For best results, place the receiver or remote antennas as follows:
• Place the receiver/antennas near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the
transmitter won’t be used within 10 ft (3 m) of the receiver. Optimum separation is at least 16 ft.
(5 m). Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter. Shadow
effects caused by people or objects can disrupt the radio link.
• Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (~1.5 m) away from any large metal objects, walls, scaffolding,
ceilings, etc.
• You can use the receiver either free-standing or mounted in a 19" equipment rack.
• If you install one or more receivers into a 19" rack, either mount the supplied antennas on the
receiver front panel(s) or use remote antennas. This is the only way to ensure optimum recep-
tion quality.
You can connect the receiver’s two analog XLR (17, 20) and two analog ¼”/6.3mm jack (18, 21) out-
puts at any time. Use the receiver’s AUDIO Menu to adjust the output level as needed.
• Connect the audio output to the desired input:
a) ALANCED XLR-output - microphone input: set the output level switch to "-30 d ".
b) ALANCED XLR-output - line input: set the output level switch to "0 d ".
c) UN ALANCED 1/4” output - unbalanced 1/4" microphone or line input jack.
• Use the AES-E U digital balanced XLR (24) output to feed the audio signals of both receivers to
an AES-E U digital input.
The built-in Wordclock generator supports a sampling rate of 48 kHz. You can connect an ex-
ternal 48 kHz clock generator to the Wordclock IN (23) NC socket to synchronize all your digi-
tal signals.

The receiver will automatically detect an external 48 kHz clock and then use the external clock.
You can check the Wordclock status in the Channel Information window.
This switch allows you to remove hum caused by ground loops.
• To open the chassis ground connection, set the GROUND LIFT switch to the LIFT position.
You can check the GND LIFT status in the Channel Information window.
• Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the rear panel is identical to the AC supply
voltage available where your system will be used. Using the power supply with a dif-
ferent AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
• Plug the power cord into the AC IN socket (25) on the receiver’s rear panel and the other end of
the power cord into a convenient power outlet.
We recommend setting the carrier fre-
quency in SILENT mode only (RF OFF).
• To engage SILENT mode, push and
hold the MUTE switch (2) while turning
on (6) the transmitter. This is the only
way to make sure you won't go "on air"
on a frequency that is not allocated or
coordinated and risk "jamming" or interfering with some other RF device or wireless system.
The receiver is electronically locked so that you won’t make any unintended adjustments.
The "LOCK" label (D) is shown on the display.
• To enter SETUP mode, press and hold the SELECT control (5) until the "LOCK" label disappears.
After approximately 4 minutes with no action, the receiver will automatically switch into LOCK
mode.
• To disable the automatic LOCK function, call up the AUTOLOCK sub-menu and select "OFF".
The optional RMS 4000 Remote Mute Switch allows muting of the transmitter if it is mounted in a
position where it is difficult or impossible to use the "on-board" MUTE switch.

•General View: Call up the channel information window.
•Quick Setup Menu: From the CHANNEL LIST, you can directly select and synchronize any open
channel.
•Channel Menu: You can directly open a sub-menu (Frequency, Group/Channel, Name…) with
the desired channel. The channel sub-menu lets you select a different channel.
•Audio Menu: From the GAIN, DSP, and ATTENUATION PAD sub-menus, CH1 and CH2 let you se-
lect receiver channel CH1 or CH 2.
•Rehearsal Menu: Select the displayed graph.
A short push will close the current menu and all unconfirmed values are erased.

dow is activated.
The DSP button allows you to bypass the LOW CUT filter, EQ, COMPRESSOR, and LIMITER for each
channel individually.
• The DSP sub-menu in the AUDIO menu allows you to adjust all signal processor parameters.
1. To monitor the audio signal, connect headphones with a ¼”/6.3mm TRS plug to the headphones
output (7).
2. To activate the audio output, push the headphones CH1 or CH2 button next to the headphones
socket briefly.

The general window shows all necessary parameters for operation. In addition to a freely-selectable
name, the current frequency, the current group and channel, you can check the audio level, the ac-
tive antenna, and the remaining use time of the transmitter battery. In case of a critical fault condi-
tion (audio mute, low battery, audio clip) you will see a warning message.
The Channel Information window provides a quick overview of the tuning parameters (group/chan-
nel, frequency, name, country, bodypack audio input gain, attenuation pad, transmission power, en-
cryption, and mute lock). All these parameters can be set and synchronized. The GROUNDLIFT and
WORDCLOCK fields inidcate the related current status.
• To call up the channel information window, simply push the CH1 or CH2 button from the gen-
eral window.
The battery symbols on the transmitter (C) and receiver (C) let you check the transmitter’s remain-
ing battery capacity at a glance. Each segment equals approximately 1 hour of remaining battery life.
If no battery voltage is detected or the information is invalid, no information is shown on the display.
Approximately 1 hour before the battery will be dead the “LOW ATT” warning appears and the LED
ring turns red.
The audio meter (E) indicates the audio output level of the receiver.
• To match the receiver’s output level to the connected mixer, you can adjust the level using the
GAIN parameter in the AUDIO menu.
The output level is not properly adjusted if the audio meter goes off-scale or the input on the con-
nected device is overloaded.
The audio output is muted.The status LED
ring (11) is lit red. Since power and the RF
section remain ON, no unwanted noise will
become audible from the sound system
when you mute the audio signal.
