Sony introduces new wireless microphones for ENG, Broadcast TV
Oct 4, 2002 12:00 PM
Sony Electronics has announced a new generation of
application-specific UHF wireless microphone systems that target
broadcast news and field production.
The new wireless systems feature dual-channel space diversity
reception and tone squelch circuitry that recognizes a 32 kHz security,
pilot-tone signal and outputs the audio signal only when this signal is
received.
Each system is also PLL Synthesized, providing a stable carrier
signal to avoid interference with other frequency channels and allowing
the selection of a preferred channel from multiple frequencies.
Sony’s new UHF wireless microphone packages, to be available
in January, provide selectable RF output levels—5mW output for
simultaneous multi-channel operation and 30mW output for long distance
transmission. The portable units can operate for approximately six
hours powered by two AA-size alkaline batteries.
The new models for broadcast applications include:
UWP-C1: A lavaliere microphone, body-pack transmitter and portable
diversity tuner designed for ENG/EFP applications.
UWP-C2 UHF: A handheld microphone and portable diversity tuner
designed for ENG/EFP applications where camera mounting is
required.
