Enjoy powerful sound experiences from Sony! The DWZ-M50
package for vocalists and the DWZ-B30GB package for
guitarists provide astonishing sound quality without complex
operation. With 24-bit linear PCM digital, you get high sound
quality with reliable RF transmission, utilizing unique transmission
technology developed by Sony.
Great Audio Experiences for all Musicians
The DWZ-M50 vocal package and DWZ-B30GB
guitar package provide two selectable RF
modes. Simply choose the one that makes best
use of your actual 2.4 GHz RF environment.
Two RF Modes for Reliable Transmission
This mode reduces interference with other wireless
equipment used in the same environment, such as
Wi-Fi. It doesn’t require you to have any technical
knowledge about radio frequency. Wide Band
Hopping Mode also supports additional error
correction for more secure transmission*.

This mode helps you to avoid interference from other
devices – for example, 2.4 GHz wireless remote controllers
that are commonly used for lighting control. This
enables you to coordinate frequencies when using
multiple wireless systems simultaneously**.

The half-rack ZRX-HR50 has Clear Channel
Scan and Best Channel Selection features
which detect unoccupied channels and select
the most appropriate channel automatically.
These features allow you to achieve fast and
easy system setup.
Fast and Easy Setup
The ZRX-HR50 half-rack size receiver
(supplied with the DWZ-M50 package for
vocalists) includes a large color LCD
display to provide you with a detailed
visual status of your selected channel,
signal, and five-band digital equalizer,
along with your audio level, and transmitter
battery life.
Large Color LCD
The ZRX-C30 compact-size receiver (supplied
with the DWZ-B30GB package for guitarists)
supports three types of powering. With the 9V
battery, you can use the receiver as a portable
device for up to 3.5 hours, setting you free from
an AC adaptor cord and maximizing layout
exibility. Also, using this battery provides a simple
solution for eliminating noise pick-up caused by
external power supplies. For long-duration use,
you can power the receiver with the supplied
12V AC adaptor, or the 9V DC jack (for use with
a power distributor).

Interruptions in reception (signal drop-
out) can be a problem with wireless
microphone transmission systems. With
the DWZ Series, however, this is reduced
to a minimum. Utilizing a space diversity
reception system, this series achieves
stable reception by using dual-antenna
inputs/reception circuits. These receive
signals over two different paths and
automatically select the stronger RF signal
for output.

With the handheld transmitter, you can use the
supplied high-quality dynamic cardioid
microphone capsule. Alternatively, you can
select any of the mic capsules from Sony’s DWX
Series capsules (The thread pitch is 1.25”/28
(31.3 mm/pitch 1.0 mm threading))*.
Interchangeable Capsules
CU- C31 CU-F31 / CU-F32
* Use of third party capsules may cause RFI or EMF noise.

The antenna for the compact ZRX-C30 receiver
is built-in. This protects the antenna from
breakage under rough handling conditions.
Built-in Antenna
With the five-band digital equalizer in the
half-rack ZRX-HR50 receiver, you can adjust
the sound character of your handheld
microphone as desired.
Five-band Equalizer
The ZTX-M01 handheld microphone (supplied
with the DWZ-M50 package for vocalists)
and the ZTX-B01 bodypack transmitter
(supplied with the DWZ-B30GB package
for guitarists) are made of strong durable
metal. Metal construction supports reliable
use in rough operating conditions.
Robust Metal Body
XLR balanced output is useful for your bass
guitar or acoustic guitar. It can directly connect
to a mixer without the need for a DI box.
XLR Balanced Output
Adjustable transmitter attenuators allow
you to select proper audio input levels
from the microphone and instruments. You
can switch the ZTX-B01 between instrument
and microphone input.
Adjustable Attenuator
Tuner output is available for guitar tuning.
The ZRX-HR50 also has a transmitter-muting
selector which gives you a choice for AUX
output with or without the muting function.
Tuner Out Interface
The ZRX-C30 has a light and compact design. Its
weight is just 205 g (7.2 oz) including battery, and
its size is a mere 132 x 41 x 74 mm (5 1/4 x 1 5/8 x 3
inches). This lightweight, slim design allows you to
t the receiver into a pedal board system, or place
it on top of your guitar amplier.
Lightweight and Compact
The compact ZRX-C30 is equipped with a Cable
Tone Generator feature to simulate wired tone
when using wireless. You don’t need to adjust
the equalizer setting on your amplier when
switching between wired and wireless. All you
have to do is adjust the dial on the ZRX-C30
receiver to match the desired wired tone.
