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:
core technologies to provide stable transmission and
reception:
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. Users can choose from 188 frequencies on U models,
189 frequencies on CE models, and 102 frequencies on AU
models.

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.

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 noise and popping noise 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.

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.
