Features
The DWM-02N 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-02N 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 multichannel 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 control software installed on a computer connected
to the receiver.
For example, the settings of a transmitter worn under
clothing can be easily changed over the wireless link.
Interchangeable microphone capsule
Coupled with a Sony microphone capsule unit (not
supplied), the DWM-02N can be used in vocal
performances, interviews, speeches, and a variety of other
applications. You can mount a microphone capsule unit by
simply screwing it onto the capsule mounting area at the
top of the DWM-02N. The capsule mounting area has
standard dimensions with a diameter of 31.3 mm and a
pitch of 1.0 mm (1.25"/28 thread pitch).
Capability of accepting wide range of
sound pressure level
For details, see “Setting the Audio Input Level (INPUT
LEVEL)” on page 12.
Three audio codec modes
Switch between audio codec modes based on your
operational needs.
For details, see “Setting the audio codec mode (CODEC
MODE)” on page 13.
Switchable RF output power
For details, see “Setting the RF Output Power (RF
POWER)” on page 12 and “Setting the maximum RF
output power (MAX RF POWER)” on page 14.
Digital low-cut filter
For details, see “Low-cut Filter Setting (LCF)” on
page 13.
Power sleep mode
For details, see “Power Save Setting (POWER SAVE)” on
page 13.
Wide RF carrier frequency range
The DWM-02N microphone covers an extremely wide RF
carrier frequency range. Depending on the model, the
transmitter can cover bandwidths between 48-MHz and
72-MHz (e.g., 72-MHz with the CE42
than 24-MHz of the analog wireless microphone system.
This remarkably wide coverage on a single model offers
cost efficiency and operational convenience, because it
allows one microphone to be operated in many different
areas.

Setting the Transmission Channel
The microphone provides groups of interference-free
channels. When using multiple microphones and
transmitters at the same time (simultaneous multi-channel
operations) within the same area, selecting the same group
and using a channel within that group can prevent signal
interference.
To set the transmission channel on the microphone, first
you select the group and channel using the RF indicator
and scanning functions on the receiver. Next you set the
group and channel parameters to match the setting on the
receiver.
Notes
• Certain transmission channels cannot be used with the
wireless remote control function.
• “(INCOMPATIBLE WITH RF REMOTE)” will slide
across the display during group/channel selection for
transmission channels that cannot be used with the
wireless remote control function.
• When a transmission channel that cannot be used with
the wireless remote control function is selected,
“RESTRICTED BY GP/CH SETTING” appears on the
RF REMOTE screen and the wireless remote control
function cannot be used. When using the wireless remote
control function, select transmission channels for which
“(INCOMPATIBLE WITH RF REMOTE)” does not
appear during group/channel selection.
3
Hold down the SET button until the item to be set
flashes.
4
Press the + or – button repeatedly to select a group.
5
Press the SET button to enter the group.
The channel indication starts flashing.
6
Press the + or – button repeatedly to select a channel.
7
Press the SET button to enter the channel.
Note
To start signal transmission with the selected channel, turn
off the power and then turn it on again.
To set the group/channel using the pairing
mode of the Cross Remote
When the microphone is paired with the receiver, the
transmission channel of the microphone is set to the
receiving channel on the receiver automatically.
For details, see“Pairing With a Receiver” on page 8.
Selecting the Group/Channel
Notes
• Before doing this procedure, use the BAND function
(see page 12) to set the microphone to the bandwidth of
the receiver you are using.
• The setting for this function cannot be changed during
actual signal transmission.
Set the microphone group (GP) and channel (CH) as
follows:
For details on groups and channels, refer to “Sony Digital
Wireless Microphone System Frequency Lists” on the
supplied CD-ROM.
For details on menu operation, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 11.
1
