Features

The DWR-R02D Digital Wireless Receiver is a rack­mountable wireless receiver capable of receiving two
channels from digital wireless transmitters.
This receiver enables the application of multiple channels
over unused television channels through the use of the
built-in Sony original channel plan.

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.

Preprogrammed wireless channel plans
for simultaneous multi-channel operation

The DWR-R02D has many preprogrammed channel
groups, meaning combination of wireless channels to
permit simultaneous operation of multiple channels
without intermodulation. The DWR-R02D also has
channel plans for multi-channel system using digital
wireless system with analog wireless system, making the
channel setting easier in such cases.

Building up wireless remote control
system according to system scale

Digital wireless transmitters can be remotely controlled
while checking their status on the display of the DWR­R02D. You can also use the supplied PC control software
to enable remote control from a PC. According to the scale
and purposes of the system, the following two types of
wireless remote control system can be built up.

ST remote system (stand-alone wireless remote
control system)

The DWR-R02D emits control signal through the whip
antenna attached to the REM ANT connector to control the
transmitters.

NT remote system (network wireless remote
control system)

By adding the optional RMU-01 Remote Control Unit, up
to 82 transmitters can be controlled, enabling the multi­channel remote control system operation. Using two or
more RMU-01 units within a system can achieve wider
area coverage.

Operation status monitoring and remote
control of devices via the Wireless Studio
software

The supplied Wireless Studio software allows you to
monitor the status of each receiver, transmitter, and RMU
used for operation, as well as change the settings for each
receiver and transmitter. By saving the setting
configurations as settings files and loading the files, you
can configure groups of settings simultaneously.

Two-channel wireless receiver

With its dual-channel receiver capability, one DWR-R02D
can be used with two transmitters simultaneously. Up to
eight units can be connected to an antenna in cascade, and
up to 16 channels can also be operated without an antenna
divider. Furthermore, if an optional WD-850 UHF
Antenna Divider is used, a system with more than 16
channels can be built.

Auto channel scanning functions

The DWR-R02D comes with two auto channel scanning
functions (active channel scan function and clear channel
scan function) that allow for fast, easy and safe frequency
channel changes.

Various information display and
improvement of operability

The large-scale OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
display shows various operational information. The large
display, menu buttons, and jog dial enable fast operation.
Furthermore, an ALERT indicator on the front panel lights

Features

if trouble occurs during operation, so you can respond
quickly.

Rack mounting

The DWR-R02D can be mounted in an EIA standard 19­inch rack (1U size). Solid all-in-one structure is adopted on
the screw brackets and side panels.

Two-way powering

A wide range of power-supply voltages from 100 to 240 V
AC is supported. A DC input is also included to enable use
in almost any environment.
