Sony WRR-862A User manual

The Sony UHF synthesized wireless microphone
system has received worldwide acclaim for its
outstanding performance, versatility and reliability
in professional applications. Sony is now proud to
introduce its latest addition to this system - the
WRR-862 UHF synthesized Dual Diversity Tuner.
This affordable diversity tuner has been introduced
to meet the demand for two-channel reception in
ENG and EFP applications. Two space-diversity
receiver modules are built in to its rugged, compact
and extremely lightweight body that is made from
diecast magnesium. This makes the WRR-862
especially suitable for mounting on to Sony
professional camcorders with the supplied
attachment kit/case, as well as a variety of other
portable applications.

UHF Wireless Microphone Systems
Despite its compact design, the WRR-862 simultaneously
receives two independent RF signals on two separate
channels. A space diversity system is employed on both
channels to eliminate signal dropout and provide stable
reception. Two SMC9-4S (Sony 4-pin) audio output
connectors are provided on the top panel.
The WRR-862 is available in two versions. The WRR-862A
operates over a 14 MHz frequency band within the range
792 MHz to 806 MHz (AU), while the WRR-862B model
operates over a 24 MHz frequency band between 470 MHz
and 806 MHz (UC), or 470 MHz to 862 MHz (CE).
The operating frequency of the WRR-862B specifically
accommodates the re-allocation of wireless operation
frequency band due to the advent of Digital TV broadcasting.
The WRR-862 dual diversity tuner has LED and LCD displays
to provide extensive range of information.
●LED for each channel to indicate RF input level (green/
red indication), diversity reception status and transmitter
battery alarm.
●LCD for each channel to indicate operating channel/
frequency, AF output level, RF input level, receiver battery
status and accumulated battery operating time.

Operating
frequency ranges*1
This dual diversity tuner is extremely compact and light-
weight. At only 400 g (14.1 oz) including batteries, it is easily
mounted on Sony professional camcorders with the supplied
attachment kit and case.
Approximate five*2 hours of continuous operation is provided
by four AA-size alkaline batteries. The WRR-862 is also capable
of operating on external power from Sony camcorders via
the supplied DC cable.
The WRR-862 incorporates RF squelch that is easily turned
ON or OFF. When turned ON, the RF level is selectable from
5 dBµ, 10 dBµ and 15 dBµ.
The WRR-862 includes a stereo mini jack for monitoring
the output sound (switchable: Tuner 1/2/mixed) with head-
phones. A monitor volume control is also included.
