Sony Digital Wireless Microphone System
A Breakthrough for a New Level of Sound Quality and operational Convenience
Since their first introduction in 1974, Sony has been continuously developing a rich range of wireless microphone systems to offer superb audio performance, highly stable transmission and flexible simultaneous multi-channel operation. Nowadays, it can be clearly seen that the industry is migrating from Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD) for video production, as well as from analogue to digital for sound production.This trend naturally boosts the need for higher-quality digital technology in wireless microphone systems.
With the introduction of a new fully digital wireless microphone system, Sony has made a breakthrough in the history of wireless microphone technology. Comprised of the DWT-B01 bodypack transmitter, DWR-S01D slot-in type two-channel receiver and DWA-01D adapter, the system provides excellent-quality digital wireless audio transmission, large-scale, multi-channel operation and enhanced system flexibility – a perfect match for high-quality ENG/EFP applications*1. Transmission of excellent­quality 24-bit/48 kHz sampling digital audio signals is realised on the DWT-B01 transmitter. The audio codec used in the system was developed specifically for wireless audio transmission, enabling the low-latency, secure and reliable operation that is mandatory for quality-critical applications. In addition, the system allows for an increase of up to 60%*2in the number of simultaneous digital wireless systems in use compared to conventional analogue wireless systems, which gives users enhanced system flexibility. Furthermore, the system offers a metadata-handling capability that provides highly innovative full-wireless remote operations between the transmitter and receiver, dramatically improving operational efficiency.
With its excellent audio quality, system flexibility and operational efficiency, the Sony digital wireless microphone system opens up a whole new world of professional audio applications.

System Features
Superb Quality Wireless Transmission
The digital wireless microphone system transmits high­quality 24-bit/48 kHz sampling digital audio signals in a specific frequency bandwidth that meets the wireless-communication regulations of each country. Utilising an original Sony codec, based on Sony’s many years of experience in engineering audio products, the system delivers a wide dynamic range of more than 106 dB, a wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and an excellent system latency of 3.6 ms.
Simultaneous Multi-channel Operation
The digital wireless microphone system allows for large­scale multi-channel operations. Thanks to the newly developed digital modulator, the system realises an intermodulation-free, equally spaced channel allocation. The digital wireless transmission technology used in this system enables a significant increase in the number of simultaneous digital wireless systems in comparison with current analogue wireless systems. For example, up to 16 channels of simultaneous operation is possible in an 8 MHz bandwidth TV channel in Europe. This system also provides the option of using existing WL-800 Series channel plans. In this configuration, the digital wireless system reliably operates alongside the WL-800 Series analogue wireless systems, without concern for having analogue and digital wireless systems interfering with each other.
Stable and Secure Transmission
Incorporating a newly-developed digital modulator, the digital wireless microphone system allows highly stable and secure wireless transmission that is extre­mely tolerant to RF interference. The system transmits digitally modulated and encrypted data to minimise the risk of interception, providing highly secure transmission. For secure and confidential commu­nication, the system provides two communication modes: peer-to-peer mode and password mode. In peer-to-peer mode, wireless communication between a DWT-B01 transmitter and DWR-S01D receiver can be established by exchanging an encryption key that is generated by the transmitter. In password mode, multiple transmitters and receivers can be configured by setting all devices with the same user-designated password. In addition, this mode supports broadcast communication, which enables multiple receivers to receive audio signals from one transmitter.
Pre-programmed Frequency Groups
To make it easy to choose the correct frequencies for simultaneous multi-channel operation, the optimum intermodulation-free frequencies are stored on each DWR-S01D receiver. These frequencies – all of which have been calculated and tested – are arranged in groups, with each group pre-programmed to allow interference-free operation. The digital wireless microphone system operates within the following frequency ranges:
Metadata Transmission
In addition to audio signals, a variety of information about the DWT-B01 transmitter – such as audio input peak level, remaining battery capacity, low-cut filter frequency and attenuator level – can be wirelessly transmitted to the DWR-S01 receiver as metadata. This allows users to monitor the status of the transmitter from the DWR-S01D receiver, offering high operational convenience.
