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 for ease of use

UTX-B03HR body-pack transmitter features a bright 11.5mm x 27.8mm display, significantly larger than previous UWP models to make them easily readable in all situations.

Automatic channel setting

The receiver will automatically set the transmitter channel by IR Sync.

Wide frequency coverage

The extra wide switching bandwidth covers a wide area, with a wide choice of channels available across - 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.

USB for external power supply or charging batteries

UTX-B03HR body-pack transmitter has 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.

Robust metal body

UTX-B03HR body-pack transmitter is made of strong, durable metal. Metal construction supports reliable use in rough operating conditions.
