Sony Releases UWP-D Wireless Mic Series

Sony has released its new Hybrid Digital Processing UWP-D wireless microphone series.
The UWP-D mics are available in three packages:
•UWP-D11: Belt-pack Transmitter, Portable Receiver
•UWP-D12: Handheld Microphone, Portable Receiver
•UWP-D16: Plug-on Transmitter, Belt-pack Transmitter, Portable Receiver.
Sony's Hybrid Digital Processing improves transient response performance between the UWP-D transmitter and receiver.
The new series employs wide frequency coverage, with a bandwidth of up to 72 MHz available. The UWP-D series covers 33 TV channels across Europe (272 MHz, between 470 and 790 MHz) and users can select from up to 2880 operating frequencies within this broad range.
UWP-D series also offers a True Diversity receiver (URX-P03), resulting in a stable audio signal being delivered from two independent receiver sections within the unit.
An Automatic Channel Setting mode lets users perform all channel setting functions. The Clear Channel Scan function detects all available channels for use and the IR Sync function enables channel setting by sending information from the receiver to the transmitter by infrared communication.
The UWP-D receiver is equipped with a variable output level control, so users can adjust to optimise recording levels.
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.
"The new UWP-D series has been designed with the production professional in mind. We have seen the growth of hand-held camcorder and DSLR use and believe that wireless microphones need to match and easily mount to these cameras using a new design of the light shoe adapter," said Markus Warlich, Professional Audio Product Specialist, Sony Europe.
"Also by using the variable output level a DSLR user will have an additional feature available, which will make great audio recording much easier."
