Features
Features
The DWM-02 is a digital wireless
microphone that features an
interchangeable microphone capsule unit
design, and is intended for use in UHF
synthesized wireless microphone systems.
The DWM-02 can be used in vocal
performances, interviews, speeches, and a
variety of other applications.
What is DWX?
DWX refers to Sony’s new digital wireless
microphone system. The DWX series
reflects Sony’s extensive expertise in
professional microphones and sound
design. It represents a successful blend of
Sony know-how, wireless technology
renowned for stability, and cutting-edge
digital audio technology.
In addition to realizing the high sound
quality possible with a digital system, the
DWX series supports multi-channel
simultaneous operation, encrypted
transmission, and metadata transmission for
monitoring the status of multiple
transmitters. Using a main link and a
separate additional link, remote control of
transmitters from the receiver is also
possible. With its many advanced features,
the system has the potential to revolutionize
the workflow of professional applications.
What is WiDIF-HP?
WiDIF-HP (WiDIF: Wireless Digital
Interface Format, HP: High Profile) is a
wireless digital audio interface format
developed by Sony.
It enables highly secure transmission with
high sound quality and low system latency,
and supports simultaneous multi-channel
operation.
What is Cross Remote?
Cross Remote is a system that allows
transmitters to be monitored and controlled
from a receiver and the Wireless Studio

between the microphone and the receiver
has not occurred within a given amount
of time. Pairing may be harder to do
when another receiver is engaged in
pairing nearby.
• When it becomes hard to use the remote
control, the remote control may be
improved by switching the wireless
remote control function off, then on again
in the RF REMOTE display, then re-
pairing with the microphone (change to a
channel with less interference).

Using the Encrypted Transmission Function
Using the
Encrypted
Transmission
Function
To prevent hacking of the signal, the
microphone scrambles the signal during
transmission. To use this function, select
one of the following encrypted transmission
modes:
Secure key mode: An encryption key
that is automatically generated by the
microphone is used by both the microphone
and receiver in this one-to-one encrypted
transmission method.
Password mode: You choose a
password of up to eight characters that can
be set for multiple microphones/
transmitters and receivers. This enables
encrypted transmission within a group.
Make sure the same mode is set on the
microphone/transmitter and receiver.
Using Secure Key Mode
(SECURE KEY)
Use this mode for one-to-one encrypted
transmission between one microphone and
one receiver.
An encryption key that cannot be read from
the outside is automatically generated by
the microphone. This key is transmitted to
the receiver through a USB connection or
the RF REMOTE function, enabling
encrypted transmission to take place.
The encryption key used by the microphone
and receiver is newly generated for each
key transmission, resulting in highly secure
communication.
The encryption key used between the
microphone and the receiver is saved when
the power is turned off, so the encrypted
transmission can be resumed the next time
the power is turned on.

18 Using the Encrypted Transmission Function
For details on receiver operations, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the
receiver.
When you select REMOTE:
The microphone searches for a
receiver that it has been paired with.
After the microphone detects the
receiver, the microphone exchanges
the encryption key with receiver and
encrypted transmission begins.
Using Password Mode
(PASSWORD)
Set this mode when multiple microphones/
transmitters are paired with multiple
receivers for encrypted transmission.
If both microphones/transmitters and
receivers are set with the same user-
designated password, the audio signal can
be decoded. This mode is useful when
multiple microphones/transmitters and
receivers are used as a single group, or
when the audio signal from one
microphone/transmitter is received by
multiple receivers at the same time.
