Sony UWPX8 4244 Wireless Microphone System

The Sony UWPX8 4244 Wireless Microphone System is the successor to the UWP X2 wireless package. It’s supplied with a uni-directional dynamic handheld mic transmitter, mic holder and modular tuner. The UWPX8 includes extremely robust metal construction with a newly designed hand held transmitter.

Sony UWPX8 4244 Wireless Microphone System Features:
-Consists of a handheld microphone and tuner module
-Suitable for use in PA systems
-Supplied with microphone holder and screw adapter
-Tuner module can be installed in MB-X6 tuner frame or SRP Series powered mixers

PLL-synthesized System Achieves stable transmission and reception by using a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop) frequency synthesized system, which provides accurate carrier signal frequencies. This system is used in both the transmitters and tuners, so that a stable carrier is generated at the transmitter, and accurately tuned in at the tuner. This PLL-controlled system provides highly stable, user-selectable frequencies in increments of 125 kHz.

Space-diversity Reception System Typically, wireless microphone transmission systems can be subject to reception interruptions (signal dropout), but UWP series tuners reduce this to a minimum. By 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.

Tone Squelch Circuitry To avoid picking up carrier signals transmitted from other systems, the transmitter transmits 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 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.

Simultaneous Multi-channel Operation Simultaneous operation of up to 16 wireless microphones. Optimum combinations of practically tested, interference-free frequencies are stored in the tuner. By using the pre-programmed frequency groups, users can easily choose interference-free frequencies for the transmitters and tuners, simplifying the task of system setup.

The Sony UWPX7 4244 Wireless Microphone System works on UHF-TV channels 42, 43, 44 and 45, from 638 MHz to 662 MHz.  UWP Series UHF synthesized systems provide reliable space diversity reception, along with tone squelch circuitry and pre-programmed channel plans (188 frequencies), making simultaneous wireless operation of up to 16 wireless microphones possible.  Modular tuner operation requires MB-X6 Tuner Base or SRP Series Powered Mixer
