Features
The UWP-D11/D12/D16 (UWP-D series) Wireless Microphone Packages comprise a transmitter (body-pack transmitter (UTX-B03), hand-held microphone (UTX-M03), or plug-on transmitter (UTX-P03)) and a receiver (portable diversity tuner (URX-P03)). In combination with a compact camcorder or interchangeable-lens digital camera, the packages can be used for various purposes, such as ENG (Electronic News Gathering), EFP (Electronic Field Production), sports events, and weddings.
They are equipped with a DSP for transmission of highquality sound using digital compander processing. They can be used in combination with current Sony analog wireless microphone systems (UWP series, WRT series, WRR series, WRU series) by switching the compander mode.
The frequency and compander mode set on the tuner can be sent to the transmitter using an infrared communications link. Used in combination with the Clear Channel Scan function of the tuner, this greatly reduces the time required to set channels.
The contents of each package are described below.
UWP-D11
Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B03)
This transmitter is a lightweight, compact transmitter that employs a crystal-controlled PLL synthesizer. It is equipped with a muting function and a BMP-type microphone input connector.
