UHF Synthesized Wireless Microphone System

As the use of wireless microphone systems has increased dramatically for diverse applications, low-cost systems have become more popular, but transmission stability and noise problems have often been overlooked.

Sony presents the ideal solution for budget-conscious users seeking rock-steady wireless operations — the UWP Series UHF Synthesized Wireless Microphone System.

The UWP Series consists of five core elements — a lavalier/bodypack transmitter, a wireless handheld microphone,

a portable tuner, a half-rack-size tuner, and a tuner module. These are available in six 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-the-line Sony wireless microphone systems, have been incorporated, including the UHF PLL-synthesized 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 noncompromised wireless microphone operation at a very affordable price.

UWP Series Common Features

Stable Transmission and Reception

The UWP Series Wireless Microphone System uses three core technologies to provide stable transmission and reception:

PLL Synthesized 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 synthesized 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 utilizing a space-diversity reception system, it achieves stable

reception by using dual-antenna 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 helps to further eliminate signal dropout.

Tone Squelch Circuitry

When operating a wireless microphone system, it is essential that the tuner not pick up carrier signals transmitted from other systems. In order to avoid this, the UWP Series handheld microphone and portable transmitter transmit a 32 kHz pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. The tuner’s squelch circuit recognizes 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 preprogrammed frequencies that meet the wireless-communication regulations of each country. The UWP Series operates within the following frequency ranges:

U models: 758 MHz to 782 MHz or 782 MHz to 806 MHz

(188 selectable frequencies)

CE models: 798 MHz to 822 MHz or 838 MHz to 862 MHz

(189 selectable frequencies)

AU models: 792 MHz to 806 MHz (102 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.
