UWP Series

UHF Wireless Microphone Package

The Sony UWP Series

The Sony UWP Series UHF Wireless Microphone Package, introduced in 2003, set a
milestone in the history of wireless microphone systems with its uncompromised ease
of operation. It brought a number of significant benefits to wireless applications,
including highly stable audio reception by utilizing a space diversity reception
system and proven interference-free multi-channel operation. Since its introduction,
the UWP Series has been widely adopted around the world for a variety of
applications such as news-gathering, interviewing, professional video production,
entertainment, live events, and conferences to name just a few.

Sony further evolved the UWP Series by offering five different packages – the UWP-V1,
UWP-V2, UWP-V6, UWP-X7, and UWP-X8 – offering a high level of stability, mobility,
robustness, and operational convenience. Each package comes with both a
transmitter and a receiver, allowing the user to get up and running straight out of
the box.

The UWP-V Series package models – UWP-V1, UWP-V2, and UWP-V6 – come with a
transmitter and portable-type receiver, suitable for use with a Sony camcorder for
ENG and EFP applications, while the UWP-X Series models – the UWP-X7 and UWP-X8
– come with a transmitter and a tuner module that can be installed into a mixer or
tuner base unit, ideal for PA applications. The transmitters include the UTX-B2
bodypack transmitter, the UTX-H2 handheld microphone, and the UTX-P1 plug-on
transmitter, while the receivers include the URX-P2 portable tuner and the URX-M2
tuner module.

One of the most outstanding features of the UWP Series is its extremely robust metal
chassis, which enables it to withstand even harsh operating environments and
makes it perfect for use out in the field. In addition, various functionalities such as
auto channel scanning, selectable MIC/LINE input, and extended operating time
plus a broad range of packages, stable transmission/reception capability, and
enhanced operability, make the UWP Series an ideal choice for all types of wireless
sound-gathering microphone applications.

Common Features

Compact, Lightweight, and Robust Design

All components of the UWP Series – the bodypack
transmitter, handheld microphone, plug-on transmitter,
portable receiver, and tuner module – utilize an extremely
robust metal chassis, which is ideal for heavy-duty wireless
operations. The metal body also allows for an extremely
compact and lightweight design, providing the high level
of mobility required for ENG and EFP operations. What’s
more, the black body complements Sony’s professional
camcorders extremely well.

Stable Transmission and Reception

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

Tone Squelch Circuitry

The UWP Series transmitters 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
virtually prevents the output of unwanted signals and
noise from other signal transmissions in the air, as well as
the RF and popping noises that occur when the
transmitter is powered on or off.

Pre-programmed Operating Frequencies

The transmitters and tuners included in the UWP Series
incorporate groups of intermodulation-free
preprogrammed frequencies that have been carefully
calculated and practically tested. By selecting from these
preprogrammed frequency groups, users can quickly and
easily operate up to 16 wireless microphones
simultaneously.
The UWP Series operates within the following frequency
ranges:

Operating frequencies Selectable

566 MHz to 590 MHz

U4244

638 MHz to 662 MHz

frequencies

188 (in 125-kHz steps)

188 (in 125-kHz steps)

PLL Synthesized System

The UWP Series employs a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop)
frequency synthesized system, which provides a stable
carrier signal that helps to avoid interference with other
frequency channels and allows for easy access to multiple
frequencies. The 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 interruptions in reception (signal dropout),
but the UWP Series reduces this to a minimum. 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
angle of the antennas on the portable receiver can also
be adjusted, which helps to further eliminate signal dropout.

Auto Channel Scanning Function

The URX-P2 portable receiver and URX-M2 tuner module
provide a convenient auto channel scanning function
that allows for fast, easy, and safe frequency channel
changes. These models automatically detect unoccupied
channels, allowing operators to easily select the most
appropriate channel.
