System Features
Superb Quality Wireless Transmission
The digital wireless microphone system transmits highquality 24-bit/48kHz sampling digital audio signals in a
specific frequency bandwidth that meets the wireless
communication regulations of each country. Utilising
an original Sony codec, based on Sony’s many years of
experience in engineering audio products, the system
delivers a wide dynamic range of more than 106dB, a wide
frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and an excellent
system latency of 3.6 ms.
Simultaneous Multi-channel Operation
The digital wireless microphone system allows for largescale multi-channel operations. Thanks to the newly
developed digital modulator, the system realises an
intermodulation-free, equally spaced channel allocation.
The digital wireless transmission technology used in this
system enables a significant increase in the number of
simultaneous digital wireless systems in comparison with
current analogue wireless systems. For example, up to 16
channels of simultaneous operation is possible in an 8MHz
bandwidth TV channel in Europe. This system also provides
the option of using existing WL-800 Series channel plans.
In this configuration, the digital wireless system reliably
operates alongside the WL-800 Series analogue wireless
systems, without concern for having analogue and digital
wireless systems interfering with each other.
Stable and Secure Transmission
Incorporating a newly developed digital modulator, the
digital wireless microphone system allows highly stable and
secure wireless transmission that is extremely tolerant to RF
interference. The system transmits digitally modulated and
encrypted data to minimise the risk of interception, providing
highly secure transmission. For secure and confidential
communication, the system provides two communication
modes: peer-to-peer mode and password mode.
24
In peer-to-peer mode, wireless communication between
a DWT-B01 transmitter and DWR-S01D receiver can be
established by exchanging an encryption key that is
generated by the transmitter. In password mode, multiple
transmitters and receivers can be configured by setting
all devices with the same user-designated password. In
addition, this mode supports broadcast communication,
which enables multiple receivers to receive audio signals
from one transmitter.
Pre-programmed Frequency Groups
To make it easy to choose the correct frequencies for
simultaneous multi-channel operation, the optimum
intermodulation-free frequencies are stored on each
DWR-S01D receiver. These frequencies – all of which have
been calculated and tested – are arranged in groups,
with each group pre-programmed to allow interferencefree operation. The digital wireless microphone system
operates within the following frequency ranges:

Metadata Transmission
In addition to audio signals, a variety of information about
the DWT-B01 transmitter – such as audio input peak level,
remaining battery capacity, low-cut filter frequency and
attenuator level – can be wirelessly transmitted to the
DWR-S01 receiver as metadata. This allows users to monitor
the status of the transmitter from the DWR-S01D receiver,
offering high operational convenience.
Innovative Wireless Remote Control
Wireless remote control capability of the Sony digital
wireless microphone system is one of the most distinctive
user features that digital transmission technology has
made possible.
A variety of DWT-B01 transmitter settings – such as power
on/sleep, attenuator level, low-cut filter frequency and
RF power output level – can be wirelessly controlled from
the DWR-S01D receiver. This is highly convenient because
setting changes can be made very easily even after the
transmitters are attached to an actor or reporter.
Easy-to-see, Full Dot-matrix OLED (Organic Light-Emitting
Diode) Display
The DWT-B01 transmitter and DWR-S01D receiver have
an easy-to-see OLED display, providing a variety of
information such as operating channel/frequency, AF
input level, RF output level and battery status. The quick
response of the OLED display enables real-time operating
conditions, such as the audio level-meter, to be displayed
clearly and accurately. In addition, the OLED provides a
high-level of visibility even in low-temperature or low-light
environments.
USB Interface
The DWT-B01 transmitter and DWR-S01D receiver come
equipped with a USB interface. This is used to connect
a USB keyboard, from which users can easily change a
variety of settings. In addition, by connecting the transmitter
and receiver directly to each other via the supplied USB cable,
the encryption keys required for confidential peer-topeer communication can be exchanged manually or
automatically.
Furthermore, when the DWR-S01 receiver is used with the
PDW-700 XDCAM HD422 camcorder, users can monitor the
status of the digital wireless microphone system through the
camcorder’s viewfinder. They can also wirelessly control
the settings of the DWT-B01 transmitter via the camcorder
menu. This wireless control makes use of 2.4GHz IEEE802.15.4
communication technology, which is commonly available
worldwide. Communicating via this wireless remote
technology in no way affects the audio or RF signals of
either the digital or analogue wireless microphone systems.
In addition, it is ideal for large-scale multi-channel
system management and is effective for low-power
consumption.

ever increasing needs for wireless operations.
Sony Wireless Microphone Common Features
PLL Synthesised System
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesised systems
are employed both in transmitters and receivers, assuring
carrier stability and providing easy access to multiple
frequencies. These PLL controlled systems provide highly
stable, selectable frequencies to be generated in
increments of 125kHz.
Compander System for Wide Dynamic Range
and Low-noise
A compander (compressor/expander) system is included
for improved audio dynamic range, low-noise and interference. The time constants for attack and release times
are carefully chosen in the various transmitters to match the
application, ensuring minimised noise level while providing
smooth and superior audio quality.
Space Diversity Reception System
A space diversity reception system is used to eliminate
signal dropout. Dual antenna inputs and reception circuits
incorporated in the diversity system receive signals over
two different paths and select the stronger signal as the
output. This switching operation is undetectable on the
audio output of the receivers.
Pre-programmed Frequency Groups
Optimum combinations of calculated and practically
tested intermodulation-free frequencies are stored in each
receiver to make it easy to choose the correct frequencies
for
simultaneous
multi-channel
operation.
These
frequencies are arranged in groups, with each group preprogrammed to allow interference-free operation.
Advanced Filtering
The Sony wireless units all employ Helical, Ceramic and/
or SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) filters as appropriate. This
offers stable reception and superb audio quality and
also enables the unique miniaturisation seen in most Sony
products.
Multiple Information on Easy-to-read LCD and LED
Most receivers and transmitters feature easy-to-read
LCD panel and LED indicators, which provide extensive
information on the operating conditions. Most receivers will
display the RF input level, audio output status, current channel
number/frequency and battery status of the transmitter.
Most transmitters do, in essence, have the same information
available in the receivers, such as audio input and
RF output status, current channel number/frequency, input
attenuation setting and accumulated battery operating
time.
Remote Battery Alarm on Receiver
For added assurance of continued operation, users can
monitor the battery reserves of handheld, body pack and
plug-on transmitters. Remaining battery life is indicated on
both the transmitter and receiver, with additional indication
approximate one hour*1 before the battery goes dead.
On the receiver, the battery indicator on the LCD and LED
displays also flash, helping to avoid the chance of battery
failure at a critical moment.
*1 This may vary depending on the operational environment.
Tone Squelch Circuitry
The wireless microphone transmitters also transmit a 32.768kHz
pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. In the
receivers, a squelch circuit is present and the audio signal
is only output when the tone signal has been correctly
received. This squelch function is designed to virtually
prevent the output of unwanted signals or 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.
32
Consistent RF Power Output
A DC-DC convert circuit built into the power supply section
of microphones/transmitters assures consistent output
power over the life of the batteries.
Channel Setting Back-up
Each unit has a convenient memory back-up for storing
operating frequencies. When the power switch is turned
on, the previous channel setting is automatically recalled
and displayed.

UWP Wireless Microphone Product Range
The Sony UWP Series UHF Wireless Microphone Package,
Now, Sony has further evolved the UWP Series by
introduced in 2003, set a milestone in the history of wireless
microphone systems with its uncompromised ease-
introducing five new packages – the UWP-V1, UWP-V2,
UWP-V6, UWP-X7 and UWP-X8 – for a much higher level of
of-operation. It brought a number of significant benefits
stability, mobility, robustness and operational convenience.
to wireless applications, including highly stable audio
Each package comes with both a transmitter and a
reception by utilising a space diversity reception system
and proven interference-free multi-channel operation.
receiver, allowing you to get up and running straight from
the box.
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.
Common Features
Compact, Lightweight and Robust Design
> Tone Squelch Circuitry
All components of the UWP Series – the bodypack
transmitter, handheld microphone, plug-on transmitter,
portable receiver and tuner module – utilise 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.
The UWP Series transmitters transmit a 32kHz pilot-tone
signal along with the audio signal. The tuner’s squelch
circuit recognises 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
noise and popping noise that occur when the transmitter
is powered on or off.
Pre-programmed Operating Frequencies
Stable Transmission and Reception
The UWP Series Wireless Microphone Package uses three
core technologies to provide stable transmission and
reception:
> PLL Synthesised System
The UWP Series employs a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop)
frequency synthesised 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 125kHz.
Users can choose from 189 frequencies.
> Space Diversity Reception System
The transmitters and tuners included in the UWP
Series
incorporate
groups
of
intermodulationfree
pre-programmed
frequencies
that
have
been
carefully
calculated
and
practically
tested. By selecting from these pre-programmed
frequency groups, users can quickly and easily operate up
to 16 wireless microphones simultaneously.
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 easily to select the most appropriate
channel to use.
Typically, wireless microphone transmission systems can be
subject to interruptions in reception (signal dropout), but
the UWP Series reduces this to a minimum. Utilising 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.
