Basic information
By connecting an AKG wireless system with the HUB4000 Q to a HiQnet network you
are able to REMOTE CONTROL and SETUP your wireless system from a computer
with Harman System ArchitectTM, your iPhone/iPod/iPad with the AKG Wireless
iPhone App or Soundcraft Vi mixing console using VM2.
The Harman System Architect PC software enables you to setup and configure
your wireless system quick and easily. Frequency Management can be done with a
single click with AKG‘s 1 Click Setup. System Architect also allows full customization
of the user interface for your needs.
The AKG Wireless iPhone App can monitor and control your wireless system from
your Apple iPhoneⓇor iPod
Ⓡtouch directly on stage via WLAN/Wi-Fi. Checking the
radio signal on stage was never easier as with the AKG Wireless App.
With the VM2feature of Soundcraft Vi mixing consoles, you can monitor your AKG
wireless systems directly form Vi Vistonics user interface.
For connecting AKG wireless devices to a HiQnet network you need a HUB4000 Q.
The HUB4000 Q is a HiQnet network interface. You can connect up to 8 AKG
wireless devices like DSR700, SR4000, SR4500, SST4 or SST4500 IEM to a HUB4000
Q and remote control them with Harman System Architect and AKG Wireless
iPhone App.

Quick Start Guide
1. Step – Prepare Hardware
!Connect the power supplies of the HUB4000 Q(s)
!Connect the power supplies of your wireless devices
!Connect the AKG devices (DSR700, SR4000/4500, SST4…) ‘data’ connectors
with one of the 8 HUB4000 Q ‘AKG network devices’ connectors (8 connectors
for 8 slots).
Use the RJ 11 cables which are included at the HUB4000 Q package.
"you can connect up to 8 AKG devices to a HUB4000 Q
!It is strongly recommended to use an Ethernet DHCP router in your HiQnet
network. If you connect a DHCP network router (which has a built in DHCP
server for automatic IP address management in your ethernet network) setting
up the system is much more easier and faster because you don‘t have to care
about IP addresses (that‘s done by the DHCP server inside your DHCP router).
!Connect the Ethernet connector at the HUB4000 Q with the HiQnet ethernet
LAN (Local Area Network), e.g. if you have connected a DHCP router, with one
of the LAN ports of the DHCP router.
Depending on which monitoring (System Architect, VM2 or Wireless iPhone App)
you want use connect one or multiple of the following with the HUB4000 Q:
!Connect your Computer which should run Harman System Architect with the
HiQnet LAN, e.g. if you have connected a DHCP router/switch, with one of the
LAN ports of the DHCP router.
!Connect a Vi console (with VM2)ethernet port with the HiQnet LAN
!Connect a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) router to the HiQnet LAN if you
want to use the AKG Wireless iPhone App
2. Step – Perform Firmware Update - Harman System Architect
December 2012 Page 3
HUB4000&Q&–&Quickstart&Guide&& & & & & & & &&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Please update the software inside the AKG HUB4000 Q:
!Download the latest version of Harman System Architect from
http://hiqnet.harmanpro.com/downloads.php
!Install System Architect
!Start System Architect
!Start up/power on your wireless system
!Start up/power on your HUB4000 Qs
!Now the network address negotiation starts. The HUB4000 Qs try to get IP
addresses. At first startup the network address negotiation can take some
minutes.
oIf your HUB4000 Qs icons show up at the Venue View then maybe a
firmware update of your HUB4000 Q(s) is requested by System Architect.
!Proceed by updating all of your HUB4000 Q(s) firmware.
oIf your HUB4000 Q icons don’t show up your network is configured
wrong.
!Check out the FAQs (page 13) which describe how to setup and
configure your network and/or HUB4000 Qs properly.
Create a Master Control Panel:
!Select all HUB4000 Q icons at Venue View.
!Right click on one of the selected HUB4000 Q icons.
!Select from the Context Menu ‘Create Master Control Panel’ – ‘AKG HUB4000 Q’.
Then a Master Control Panel for all the selected HUB4000 Qs is created.
!The Master Control Panel is able to control all AKG devices of all HUB4000 Qs
from a single panel.
Please update the software of your wireless devices:
!At the Master Control Panel choose ‘Menu / Tools / Firmware Update‘
!Update all wireless devices to the latest firmware version
Go to step 3 & 4 - Start working.

3. AKG Wireless iPhone App
!With the AKG Wireless iPhone App you can
monitor your wireless system from an Apple
iPhone or iPod touch or iPad
!The App is an unique tool for monitoring the
radio connection of the wireless system on stage
!Download the latest version of the AKG Wireless
iPhone App from Apple iTunes App Store:
http://itunes.apple.com/at/app/akg-
wireless/id362476960?mt=8
!Setup a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) at
your WLAN router which is connected to your
HiQnet network (and your HUB4000 Qs)
!Be sure to hide the WLAN and to setup a
password for entering the WLAN. This avoids
misusage!
!Connect your iPhone/iPod/iPad touch to your
WLAN at iPhone settings
!Start your AKG Wireless iPhone App
!Check out the online FAQs (page 13) for further
questions

5. Step – Harman System Architect
-With the PC software Harman System Architect you have a tool to setup,
configure and monitor your wireless system. You can customize and build
your own panels/user interfaces for your wireless systems.
- If you have more than one HUB4000 Q then it is recommended to build a
Master Control Panel. This enables you to build a large wireless system and
control all wireless devices from a single panel, even if there are multiple
HUB4000 Qs connected to the HiQnet network.
How to build a Master Control Panel?
oSelect all HUB4000 Q icons at Venue View which should be added to the
Master Control Panel.
oRight click on one of the selected HUB4000 Q icons.
oSelect from the Context Menu ‘Create Master Control Panel’ – ‘AKG
HUB4000 Q’.
!Then a Master Control Panel for all the selected HUB4000 Qs is
created. The Master Control Panel is able to control all AKG devices
of all HUB4000 Qs from a single panel.
- Overview over Product Panel/Master Control Panel
!You can open a Product Panel of a single HUB4000 Q by double
clicking on the HUB4000 Q icon at the Venue View
!Or if you have multiple HUB4000 Qs it is recommended to build a
Master Control Panel (see above). You can open a Master Control
Panel by selecting the Device tab in the ribbon, and clicking in the
Launch/Manage button in the Master Panel section.

- Environment Scan
With the environment scan you can scan the Radio Frequency (RF)
environment. The Frequency Graph gives a great graphically overview of the RF
environment.
The Auto Scan performs a very fast environment scan (7 seconds for 30 MHz)
with all available scan devices. The Loop Scan performs a looped scan with user
defined scan devices.
The Frequency Graph shows all AKG Devices in a graphical way together with
the environment scan data, the intermodulation products and you can save,
open and print the environment scan data.
- Check Radio Frequency Link – RF Monitor
With the RF Monitor you can monitor the Radio Frequency (RF) Link over time.
The RF Monitor shows the RF levels of both antannas over time and the Mic
Mute state.
