Features

Each of the UWP-C1/C2/S1/S2/X1/ X2 wireless microphone packages (referred to as the UWP series hereafter) combines a transmitter (body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1) or hand-held microphone (UTX-H1)) and a receiver (portable diversity tuner (URX-P1), half-rack size diversity tuner (URX-R1), or diversity tuner module (URX-M1)). The UWP series can be used with a compact camcorder for ENG (Electronic News Gathering) purposes, and with a powered mixer for AV presentations or as a PA (public address) system.

Note

The UWP series is not compatible with conventional WRT series transmitters, WRR series tuners, or WRU series tuner units.

The features of each package are described below.

UWP-C1

Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1)

This is a small and lightweight transmitter with a crystal-controlled PLL (phase lock loop) synthesized system and a BMP-type microphone input connector. The RF power output can be set at 10 mW or at 2 mW.

Portable diversity tuner (URX-P1)

This tuner employs a space diversity system with little signal dropout and two angle-adjustable antennas. It comes with an adapter for mounting the tuner on the compact camcorder (DSR-PDX10/PDX10P/PD150/ PD150P, etc.).

UWP-C2

Precautions

• The UWP series product must be used within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Operating the UWP series product near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to be affected by electromagnetic induction. Keep the UWP series product as far from such equipment as possible.

• The presence of the lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over the entire frequency range. Position the UWP series product so that interference is minimized.

• To avoid degradation of the signalto-noise ratio, do not use the UWP series product in noisy places or in locations subject to vibration, such as the following: — near electrical equipment, such as

motors, transformers or dimmers

— near air conditioning equipment

or places subject to direct air

flow from an air conditioner — near public address loudspeakers — where adjacent equipment might

knock against the tuner Keep the UWP series product as far from such equipment as possible or use buffering material.

• Clean the surface and the connectors of the UWP series product with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish.

To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communication devices

The use of portable telephones and other communication devices near the UWP series product may result in malfunction and interference with audio signals. It is recommended that portable communication devices near the UWP series product be turned off.
