CHANGING UWP SERIES - LIBERTY UHF SYNTHESIZED WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEM As the use of wireless microphone systems has increased dramatically for diverse applications, low-cost systems have become more popular, but transmission stability and noise problems have often been overlooked. Sony presents the ideal solution for THE WAY budget-conscious users seeking rock-steady wireless operations — the UWP Series UHF Synthesized Wireless Microphone System. BUSINESS The UWP Series consists of five core elements developed for top-of-the-line Sony wireless — a lavalier/bodypack transmitter, a wireless microphone systems, have been incorporated, handheld microphone, a portable tuner, a half- including the UHF PLL-synthesized system, rack-size tuner, and a tuner module. These are space-diversity reception and a tone squelch available in six turnkey packages, each function. These capabilities are typically found comprising a microphone, transmitter and only on high-end wireless systems. tuner, for a ready-to-go system straight out of Whether you use it with low-cost ENG the box. Each package has been carefully (Electronic News Gathering), EFP (Electronic compiled to address specific operational Field Production) or PA (Power Amplifier) needs, meaning the UWP Series can adapt to systems, the UWP Series delivers virtually any application. the convenience of noncompromised The UWP Series excels in transmission wireless microphone operation at a very stability. Sophisticated wireless technologies, affordable price.
