Sony UWP-D21/K33 UWP-D Wireless Microphone Bodypack & Receiver

Sony UWP-D21/K33 (UWP-D21 K33, UWP-D21-K33, UWP-D21_K33, UWPD21/K33, uwp-d21/k33) UWP-D Wireless Microphone Bodypack & Receiver

The demand for high quality audio is increasing as high resolution content becomes prevalent in the video production industry. Today’s content creators are faced with the challenge of capturing high-quality audio quickly, reliably and with limited resources.

Offering superb sound quality with digital processing, reliable RF transmission, true double tuner diversity reception and friendly features, the UWP-D series is an ideal partner for ENG (electronic news gathering) and EFP (electronic field production), as well as documentaries and weddings.

The UWP-D21 bodypack wireless microphone package includes the UTX-B40 bodypack transmitter, URX-P40 receiver, ECM-V1BMP omni-directional lavalier microphone and accessories.

Digital Audio Processing for High Quality Sound

Advanced digital audio processing technology by Sony assures high quality sound with improved transient response performance. A new [optional] digital audio interface enables direct digital sound recording with many Sony professional camcorders and Alpha interchangeable lens cameras via the SMAD-P5 Multi Interface MI shoe adaptor, bypassing A/D and D/A conversion stages to further ensure excellent sound quality.

Seamless Camcorder Integration

Integration with compatible* Sony camcorders (requires SMAD-P5 Multi Interface shoe adaptor) displays audio information such as RF level meter, audio mute status and transmitter low battery alert in the camera’s viewfinder. Via the SMAD-P5, audio signals are transmitted from receiver to camera without requiring a cable connection. The wireless receiver can also receive power from the camera, with synchronised power on/off between camera and receiver for more effective power management.

* See details on SMAD-P5 for compatibility information

Fast, Easy Frequency Setting

Sony’s uniquely user-friendly NFC SYNC feature allows quick, intuitive secure channel setting between transmitter and receiver.

Light, Compact Design

Reduced system size and weight enable superior mobility in a wide range of applications including news, documentaries, weddings and remote production. The receiver’s compact size and light weight make it an ideal partner for use small camcorders and interchangeable lens digital cameras.
