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.
