Product description

A Rugged Build, Ready for the Camera
• • The UWP-D16 features a robust, all-metal construction well suited for tough operating conditions.
  • The compact bodypack transmitter is lightweight and comfortable for the talent to wear. A locking, 3.5mm BMP-type microphone input connector ensures that your lav doesn’t detach at a critical moment. A quick press on the power button allows you to mute your mic.
  • The equally lightweight plug-on transmitter attaches to any dynamic or condenser microphone equipped with an XLR connector. Also, a quick press on the power button allows you to mute your mic.
  • Using the included shoemount adapter, the compact receiver easily mounts on your camera, while adding minimal weight to your rig. Cables are included to connect to cameras equipped with either a 3.5mm or an XLR audio input. Alternatively, the MI—Multi Interface—shoe on select Sony cameras can serve as a cable-free audio connection using the SMAD-P3 shoe adapter (available separately).
  • If your camera doesn’t have a headphone jack, you can monitor your sound via the receiver’s headphone output while recording.
  • Large, daylight-readable displays on both transmitters and the receiver show reception quality, battery status, and audio level.

Fast and Flexible
• • The easy-to-navigate menu allows for secure and speedy settings.
  • With Auto Set enabled, simply power up the components and the Clear Channel Scan function automatically searches for the cleanest frequency at your location. The system then synchronizes the transmitter and receiver via IR Sync with no additional action required—saving you valuable set up time in the field.
  • The RF output level on the transmitters has two settings: the 5mW option allows you to conserve battery life, while the 30mW (40mW on the plug-on) setting gives you more power to overcome interference, great in busy RF environments.
  • Inputs on both transmitters are switchable between mic and line level and offer adjustable attenuators so you can set the ideal gain level for your sound source.
  • The receiver provides a variable output level control of ±12 dB so you can optimize it for the input level of a camcorder or DSLR/mirrorless camera, reducing the self-noise that incurs from turning up the camera gain.

Reliable Reception with True Diversity
• • To achieve a stable audio, the UWP-D receiver employs true-diversity technology with two antennas and two independent receiver sections within the unit. Both RF signals are compared, and the stronger signal is automatically selected for output—reducing dropouts to a minimum.
  • The angle of the two antennas can also be adjusted, which helps to further prevent signal dropouts.

Professional Sound with Digital Audio Processing
• • Unlike a traditional analog system, the UWP-D supplements its proven analog UHF transmission technology with a proprietary digital audio processing. Transient sounds and consonants are reproduced with greater accuracy, resulting in clear, natural sound that’s intelligible and nuanced.
  • The ECM-V1BMP lavalier mic is optimized for capturing news in the field. This omnidirectional mic picks up sound from every direction, allowing for a variety of placement options and freedom of movement.
  • For clearer speech in noisy environments, you can substitute the included lav mic with an ECM-322BMP headset mic.

Multiple Powering Options
• • The receiver and transmitters can be powered via two AA batteries for up to 6 hours of shooting time.
  • The transmitters and receiver can also be powered through their USB ports, allowing them to run for numerous hours on a USB power pack or indefinitely, if you have access to AC.
  • The USB ports can also recharge Ni-MH batteries (available separately) while in use.
  • With the SMAD-P3 shoe adapter (available separately) the wireless receiver can get power directly from select Sony cameras.
  • Cartridge-type battery cases allow for quick battery replacement on set.

Compatibility with Other Sony Wireless Systems
• • UWP-D Series transmitters and receivers can also be used with WL-800 Series receivers and transmitters.
