For customers in North America

The UWP-D16/30 and UWP-D16/42 models operates in portions of the 617-652 MHz or 663-698 MHz frequencies. As of 2017, these frequencies are being transitioned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to the 600 MHz service to meet increasing demand for wireless broadband services. Users of these models must cease operating on these frequencies no later than July 13, 2020. In addition, users may be required to cease operations before that date if their operations could cause harmful interference to a 600 MHz service licensee's wireless operations on these frequencies. For more information, contact the FCC.

 

For customers in Canada, please consult ISED’s Spectrum Advisory Bulletin for recent information related to the 600 MHz band transition.

Features

UWP-D digital audio processing for high quality sound

The UWP-D Series wireless microphone systems uses Sony Digital Audio Processing to improve sound quality and transient response performance compared to conventional analogue wireless systems. It provides superb transient response performance. Analogue companding systems cannot accurately reproduce sounds such as a bell, tee shot or handclap, but Sony Digital Audio Processing reproduces them faithfully.

Large display and small size receiver

The URX-P03 portable receiver is designed to fit even small camcorders or DSLR cameras, with dimensions of 63mm x 82mm x 23.8mm (W x H x D) and a weight of approx. 176 g (including batteries). The transmitters and receivers also feature a bright 11.5mm x 27.8mm display, significantly larger than previous UWP models to make them easily readable in all situations.

Fast and easy channel scan

With its Clear Channel Scan, Active Channel Scan function and IR Sync features, the system detects unoccupied channels and selects the most appropriate channel automatically, for fast and easy system setup.

Automatic channel setting mode

The Auto Set channel mode allows the user to find and set available frequencies to use within the operating frequencies of the system. The receiver will automatically set the transmitter channel using the IR Sync feature.

Wide frequency coverage

The extra wide switching bandwidth covers a wide area, with a wide choice of channels available across multiple models - please refer to product specifications for more information.

True Diversity reception system

The UWP-D system achieves exceptionally stable audio signal being delivered from two independent receiver sections within the unit. Optimum signal quality is delivered by the two receivers sections and a comparison circuit constantly pulls the one with the best signal to give dropout free transmission.

Compatibility with Sony 800 and UWP Series analogue audio receivers

The UWP-D Series transmitters and receivers are also compatible with Sony’s WL-800 Series, UWP Series and Freedom Series, allowing users to switch between different companding modes.

Headphone output for monitoring

The UWP-D system provides its own headphone output socket, which is particularly useful when working with a camera that does not have a headphone output.

USB for external power supply or charging batteries

The UWP-D series’ components have a micro USB terminal* for connection to USB external portable power sources allowing the unit to be powered by the camcorder during use, resulting in hassle free power. You can also load NiMh batteries into the belt-pack to be charged through the micro USB.

 

* Except handheld receiver UTX-M03.

Robust metal body

The UTX-B03 belt-pack transmitter, UTX-P03 plug-on transmitter and URX-P03 portable receiver are made of strong, durable metal. Metal construction supports reliable use in rough operating conditions.

Line Input available

The UWP-D Series system has line input available for added flexibility.

Variable output level on portable receiver

The system provides variable output level control of ±12dB, for use with the various input levels of camcorders and DSLR cameras.

Complete package with accessories

The UWP-D16 package includes the UTX-B03 belt-pack transmitter, UTX-P03 XLR plug-on transmitter and URX-P03 portable receiver, as well as: omni-directional lavalier microphone (1) , windscreen (1), microphone holder clip (1), belt clip (2), shoe-mount adaptor (1), 3-pole locking mini plug/XLR-3-12C (male) (1), 3-pole locking mini plug/Stereo mini plug (1), CD-ROM (1) (including operating instructions and wireless microphone frequency list), soft case (1).
