The history of the Sony microphone began in 
1950 when, for the first time, Sony microphones 
and tape recorders were introduced to the 
world. Now, more than 60 years later, Sony is 
synonymous with the production and distribution 
of high quality professional audio products for 
news gathering, video production, live events 
and broadcast.

Sony innovations continued with the development 
of electret condenser microphones in the 1960s, 
appealing to audiophiles who needed condenser 
performance with the simplicity of a dynamic 
mic. This was followed by the introduction of the 
Sony lavalier mic in the 1970s.

During the 1960s, the first wireless mic was also 
developed, offering systems for field and studio 
applications and offering the ideal combination 
of performance, reliability and versatility. From 
the 1970s, Sony developed the first worldwide 
diversity system. And in the 1980s, we expanded 
into UHF systems, Diversity ENG camera receivers, 
wireless handheld mics and systems for music 
reproduction.

More recently, Dual Diversity & rack mount tuners 
plus UHF diversity wireless systems were introduced 
to the market and, coming out of our work with 
digital audio on CD & DAT formats from the 1980s, 
the Oxford Console and the DMX-R100 followed in 
the 1990s.

Our fully Digital Wireless DWX system, originally 
launched in 2008, provides the best sound 
quality and stability of any digital wireless on the 
market, providing high end audio solutions in a 
range of applications from ENG to live music and 
fixed installations in Studio’s and OB’s, providing 
Sony audio solutions available for everyone. And 
our new Digital Wireless DWZ system continues 
to expand the range of professional audio 
equipment we can offer you.

We thank you for your continued loyalty to Sony 
Professional Audio.

Yours Sincerely

Yoshihiro Murakami 
General Manager Sony Professional Audio
