INTRODUCTION
Interference-free, Affordable Operations – with the Sony UWP Series UHF Synthesised Wireless Microphone System
Sony presents the ideal solution for budget-conscious users seeking rock-steady wireless operations — the UWP Series UHF Synthesised Wireless Microphone System. The UWP Series consists of six core elements — a lavalier/bodypack transmitter, a wireless handheld microphone, a plug-on transmitter, a portable tuner, a half-rack-size tuner and a tuner module.These are available in seven turnkey packages, each comprising a microphone, transmitter and tuner, for a ready-to-go system straight out of the box. Each package has been carefully compiled to address specific operational needs, meaning the UWP Series can virtually adapt to almost any application. The UWP Series excels in transmission stability. Sophisticated wireless technologies, developed for top-of-the­line Sony wireless microphone systems, have been incorporated, including the UHF PLL-Synthesised system, space-diversity reception and a tone squelch function. These capabilities are typically found only on high-end wireless systems.
Whether you use it with low-cost ENG, EFP or PA systems, the UWP Series delivers the convenience of non-compromised wireless microphone operation at a very affordable price.
STABLE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION
The UWP Series Wireless Microphone System uses three core technologies to provide stable transmission and reception:
PLL Synthesised System
Key to achieving stable transmission and reception is the use of a stable carrier signal to avoid interference with other frequency channels and to allow the selection of a preferred channel from multiple frequencies. The UWP Series achieves this by using a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop) frequency Synthesised system, which provides accurate carrier signal frequencies. This system is used in both the transmitters and tuners, so that a stable carrier is generated at the transmitter and accurately tuned in at the tuner. This PLL-controlled system provides high­ly stable, user-selectable frequencies in increments of 125 kHz.
Space Diversity Reception System
Typically, wireless microphone transmission systems can be subject to reception interruptions (signal dropout), but the UWP Series reduces this to a minimum. By utilising a space-diversity reception system, it achieves stable reception by using dual­antenna inputs/reception circuits. These receive signals over two different paths and automatically select the stronger RF sig­nal for output. The space diversity reception system is adopted in all UWP tuners – the portable tuner, half-rack-size tuner and tuner module alike. What´s more, the antennas of the portable and half-rack-size tuners each allow for angle adjustments, which help to further eliminate signal dropout.
Tone Squelch Circuitry
When operating a wireless microphone system, it is essential that the tuner does not pick up carrier signals transmitted from other systems. In order to avoid this, the UWP Series transmit a 32 kHz pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. The tuner´s squelch circuit recognises this tone signal and outputs the audio signal only when this tone signal is received. This function prevents the output of unwanted signals and noise from other signal transmissions in the air, as well as the RF noise and popping noise that occur when the transmitter is powered on or off.
PRE-PROGRAMMED OPERATING FREQUENCIES
The transmitters and tuners included in the UWP Series incorporate pre-programmed frequencies that meet the wireless-communication regulations of each country. The UWP Series operates within the following frequency ranges: 798 MHz to 822 MHz or 838 MHz to 862 MHz (189 selectable frequencies).
SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-CHANNEL OPERATION
The UWP Series allows simultaneous operation of up to 16 wire­less microphones. Optimum combinations of practically tested, interference-free frequencies are stored in the UWP tuners. By using the pre-programmed frequency groups, users can easily choose interference-free frequencies for the transmitters and tuners, simplifying the task of system setup.
