Sony Digital Wireless Microphone System
A Breakthrough for a New Level of Sound Quality and operational Convenience
Since their first introduction in 1974, Sony has been continuously developing a rich range of wireless microphone systems to offer superb audio performance, highly stable transmission and flexible simultaneous multi-channel operation. Nowadays, it can be clearly seen that the industry is migrating from Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD) for video production, as well as from analogue to digital for sound production. This trend naturally boosts the need for higher-quality digital technology in wireless microphone systems.
With the introduction of a new fully digital wireless microphone system, Sony has made a breakthrough in the history of wireless microphone technology. Comprised of the DWT-B01 bodypack transmitter, DWR-S01D slot-in type two-channel receiver and DWA-01D adapter, the system provides excellent-quality digital wireless audio transmission, large-scale, multi-channel operation and enhanced system flexibility
–a perfect match for high-quality ENG/EFP applications*1. Transmission of excellent- quality 24-bit/48 kHz sampling digital audio signals is realised on the DWT-B01 transmitter. The audio codec used in the system was developed specifically for wireless audio transmission, enabling the low-latency, secure and reliable operation that is mandatory for quality-critical applications. In addition, the system allows
for an increase of up to 60%*2 in the number of simultaneous digital wireless systems in use compared to conventional analogue wireless systems, which gives users enhanced system flexibility. Furthermore, the system offers a metadata-handling capability that provides highly innovative full-wireless remote operations between the transmitter and receiver, dramatically improving operational efficiency.
With its excellent audio quality, system flexibility and operational efficiency, the Sony digital wireless microphone system opens up a whole new world of professional audio applications.
