Sound quality is the most important issue in wireless transmission. Conventional
analog systems make use of companders to provide the required dynamic
range. However, while compander systems have improved over time, their
inherent problems with sound quality and transient response performance
have yet to be completely solved.
Sony’s newly developed Hybrid Digital Processing, which uses DSP (digital
signal processing) for digital companding, realizes high sound quality.
The Clear Channel Scan function searches for a channel that is not being
used by another wireless device or by a TV station. This makes it easy to
find an available channel so the wireless microphone can be used without
interference. The Active Channel Scan function detects Sony’s wireless
transmitter from the channel lists within a selected group.
The receiver can transfer the desired frequency to the transmitter via IR
connection, and allows for quick and simple setup.
The system’s operating bandwidth (up to 72 MHz*
1
) achieves great mobility
to cover a wide area and provide more channel options.
DSP optimizes the audio signal processing applied between the transmitter
and receiver. It provides superb transient response performance. While analog
companding systems cannot reproduce sounds such as a bell or tee shot with
precision, Sony’s Hybrid Digital Processing can reproduce them very accurately.
DSP also can correct characteristics of frequency response in the transmission
process for precise reproduction of original sounds.

The Ultimate in Hybrid Digital Sound
Innovation in Sound -- Introducing the new UWP-D Series wireless microphone system,
which realizes high-quality sound and stable wireless transmission utilizing true diversity reception system.
Since its introduction in 2003, the UWP Series has been widely used in a broad range of applications,
not only for ENG (electronic news gathering) and EFP (electronic field production), but also for live concerts, sporting events,
documentaries, and weddings.
High-quality Sound
Sony’s Hybrid Digital Processing technology improves transient response performance, and realizes high-quality sound.
Superior Operability
Performs channel settings via Automatic Channel Setting mode.
Low Profile and Lightweight
The small body size and lightweight design are ideal for use in small camcorders or interchangeable-lens digital cameras.
