UWP-D Series
UHF Wireless Microphone Package
(UWP-D11 , UWP-D12 , UWP-D16)

The Ultimate in Hybrid Digital Sound
Innovation in Sound -- Introducing the new UWP-D Series wireless microphone system,
which realizes high-quality sound and stable wireless transmission utilizing true diversity reception system.
Since its introduction in 2003, the UWP Series has been widely used in a broad range of applications,
not only for ENG (electronic news gathering) and EFP (electronic field production), but also for live concerts, sporting events,
documentaries, and weddings.
High-quality Sound
Sony’s Hybrid Digital Processing technology improves transient response performance, and realizes high-quality sound.
Superior Operability
Performs channel settings via Automatic Channel Setting mode.
Low Profile and Lightweight
The small body size and lightweight design are ideal for use in small camcorders or interchangeable-lens digital cameras.

Sound quality is the most important issue in wireless transmission. Conventional
analog systems make use of companders to provide the required dynamic
range. However, while compander systems have improved over time, their
inherent problems with sound quality and transient response performance
have yet to be completely solved.
Sony’s newly developed Hybrid Digital Processing, which uses DSP (digital
signal processing) for digital companding, realizes high sound quality.
The Clear Channel Scan function searches for a channel that is not being
used by another wireless device or by a TV station. This makes it easy to
find an available channel so the wireless microphone can be used without
interference. The Active Channel Scan function detects Sony’s wireless
transmitter from the channel lists within a selected group.
The receiver can transfer the desired frequency to the transmitter via IR
connection, and allows for quick and simple setup.
The system’s operating bandwidth (up to 72 MHz*1) achieves great mobility
to cover a wide area and provide more channel options.
DSP optimizes the audio signal processing applied between the transmitter
and receiver. It provides superb transient response performance. While analog
companding systems cannot reproduce sounds such as a bell or tee shot with
precision, Sony’s Hybrid Digital Processing can reproduce them very accurately.
DSP also can correct characteristics of frequency response in the transmission
process for precise reproduction of original sounds.

UWP-D Series
Typically, wireless microphone transmission systems are subject to interruptions in
reception (RF signal dropout), but the UWP-D Series reduces this to a minimum.
Utilizing a true diversity reception system, it achieves highly stable reception
because of its two receiving antennas, each with RF circuits. RF signals from the
two antennas are compared and the stronger signal is automatically selected for
output. The angle of the antennas on the portable receiver can also be adjusted,
which helps to further eliminate signal dropout.
Sound can be monitored directly from the receiver. This is especially
convenient when using a camera that does not have a headphone output.
This receiver function enables control of the receiver output sound level:
±12 dB. This is useful because some video cameras don’t offer manual
input level control.
Switchable MIC or LINE input level and adjustable attenuators allow the
user to select proper audio input levels.
A DC power drive can be utilized for long-term use or as an emergency
power supply*1. Rechargeable battery operation is also available with
Ni-MH batteries*2.
The supplied battery cartridge is
compatible with Sony’s DWZ Series,
and allows for quick and easy
battery exchange.
DSP enables a digital com-
pander to match Sony’s
analog wireless system.
The UWP-D transmitter can
be used with a UWP Series
or WL-800 Series receiver,
and a UWP Series or WL-800
Series transmitter can be
used with a UWP-D receiver.

The supplied high-quality dynamic
cardioid microphone capsule can be
used with the handheld microphone.
Alternatively, any of Sony’s DWX Series
capsules such as the CU-C31, F31,
or F32 can also be used (the thread
pitch is 1.25”/28 (31.3 mm/pitch 1.0
mm threading))*1.
This function enables direct connection of condenser microphones
requiring DC 48 V powering.
An easy-to-read large LCD and
sophisticated yet easy-to-operate
menu allows for secure and speedy
settings.
All components of the UWP-D Series –
the body pack transmitter, handheld
microphone, plug-on transmitter, and
portable receiver – utilize an extremely
robust metal chassis that is ideal for
heavy-duty wireless operation. The metal
body also allows for an extremely compact
and lightweight design, providing the
high level of mobility required for ENG
and EFP operations.
