The Sony UWP-V6 Wireless Plug-In ENG Microphone System replaces its UWP-C series predecessor with enhancements that include a rugged, all-metal chassis and Mic/Line switchable input at the transmitter. PLL-synthesized tuning, space-diversity reception and all other professional wireless features that made the UWP-C series a popular choice, go into the enhanced UWP-V6 system.

The camera-mountable receiver features space-diversity technology which stabilizes reception and minimizes RF interference by selecting the strongest incoming signal. In addition the antennas swivel so that you can achieve even stronger reception. A stereo mini-jack output with monitor volume control is featured and both stereo, mini and XLR cables are provided. An LCD display provides channel & frequency information, battery life, RF-input level, audio-output status and accumulated operating time. The receiver operates on 2-AA batteries for up to 8 hours and its compact design and included shoe-mount adapter allows easy mounting to most camcorders.

The improved plug-in and bodypack transmitters features a mic and line-level switch for standard wired microphones line-level sources. Selectable output power provides a choice between 5mW output, which is suitable for simultaneous multi-channel operation or 30mW output for long distance transmission. Like the receiver, the transmitters also feature 188 selectable UHF frequencies and operates for up to 8 hours on two-AA size alkaline batteries. The transmitter features a comprehensive LCD display.

The UTX-P1 Plug-In Transmitter
The UTX-P1 plug-in transmitter enables wireless operation of any standard, XLR terminated microphone.
UTX-B2 Bodypack Transmitter
The lightweight UTX-B2 bodypack features rugged construction, 188 selectable frequencies, line and microphone level input switch and an omnidirectional lavalier microphone.
Improved All Metal Construction
The transmitter and receiver both feature metal construction for maximum durability on the road.
Mic and Line Input Switch
The transmitters feature microphone and line level switching for transmitting microphones or line level signal sources.
UHF Synthesized Frequencies
Both transmitter and receiver provide 188 user selectable frequencies, providing plenty of options when interference is present.
Space Diversity Receiver
The receiver features a space diversity design which simply chooses the strongest signal between the dual incoming signals, then sends that signal to output.
Selectable RF Output
The transmitter allows selection between 5mW output power and 30mW output. 5mW is suitable for indoor, simultaneous multi-channel operation while 30mW is intended for outdoor, long-range use.
Comprehensive Display
Both transmitter and receiver feature a comprehensive LED display providing channel and frequency information, battery life, total usage time and more.

Well packaged. The devices are somewhat larger than expected. The hand mic but plug and receiver being a bit on the bulky side. Construction is fairly solid ala Volvo, boxy but tough.
Ariel's are fixed on so use a box to transport them and avoid bending them. Range seems good. XLR to mini cable could be longer, it wont reach on a DSR500 type (big)cam to the xlrs on the back when mounted on the mounting shoe. Only one mic clip, a few more/better variety would have been good. Useful display info and easy to use.

    This radio mic has a very clear sound, and is dead easy to use. The kit is build in a durable metal casing, compared to the earlier versions plastic housing. You get all the cables you need to connect to your XLR based equipment.

    Comments about Sony UWP-V6 Wireless Plug-in & Lavalier Microphone Package (30/32 - 566 to 590MHz):

    I was concerned the unit would have bad reception in difficult environments. The unit easily exceeded my expectations. On low transmit power, the unit demonstrated excellent signal strength and clarity when operated at 300 feet and going through three walls. The units operated for six hours when using lithium rechargeable batteries and appeared they could go another six hours without needing to be replaced.

    This is an excellent product.

      I actively avoid depending on radio mics if there is any practical alternative. Batteries and the risk of poor reception are additional risks I can do without.

      But when I really need a radio mic, I am glad that I can reach this well designed and appointed kit.

          Only had the chance to use this once, but it worked like a charm. Used inside during a conference. Had the plug-in attached to a pzm mic on the table. Clean, clear audio throughout. Saw a bunch of people using their cell phones during the meeting and never once picked up any interference from them.

            Wirless package with a Panasonic 170, ENG, and interviews. This package was 200 cheaper than otheres and performs very well. Good range and good sound. I'm very happy to add this to my kit as it give unlimited audio flexability without lugging mic cables all over the place. I carry a wired lav and one audio cable for my stick mic, just in case, but so far, so good.

              This is the second system we are buying.

                  I bought this to use with a portable PA system and to provide a feed from my in-house system to a camera (for weddings and plays at my church). The unit is solidly built and has an impressive range and clarity. The only thing that I wish were available is an adapter to plug into the battery tray to run it on an AC adapter - I don't like to leave batteries in a unit for fear of leaking.

                    I use these mics to record both run-and-gun sports interviews (combined with a stick mic and the wireless brick) and sit-down lit interviews using the wireless lav. Great for photojournalists. Throw it in a small back and you're all set. The LCD UI menus take some getting used to. It's not as intuitive as it could be. Quickly changing frequencies is not easy at first.

                      I plan to use this product to mic the groom in my wedding videos, as well as have used it with interview projects. Captured audio was great.
                      It has a good sturdy feel.
                      I like the feature that one of the cords has an XLR end that can go directly into my camera without a converter.
                      Although it is small, there is a lighted LCD screen to show battery life, frequency, plus other options.
                      Have not tried the Plug-on transmitter yet.
                      I am very happy with it.

                        Used this to shoot video (audio portion) of my daughter working as a horse wrangler. Worked great in a large corral. No dropouts and audio quality was fantastic. Also great physical construction. I have also used for short, in studio, distances with no negative effects.

                          Highly Recommended.

                            Really Simple.. I own for of these Mics. I love them. I get clarity, distance and most importantly they don't compress the audio signal like a lot of other mics.

                              Great sound, easy setup. I bought this to use for ENG and I haven't been disappointed in the sound quality. The only negative I would say is that I wish you could use both mics at the same time.

                              1- Performs exactly like a Samson Micro 32 (when it was legal) which served me for 4 years, NEVER gave me any interference and range was fantastic, cost 3 times less than the Sony V6. As a matter of fact, the Audio Technica that came with my S. M.32 is a $200.00 LAV and does NOT pick up sounds from the room. Just the talent. NO interference. The other Samson current models are a disaster.OK, back to the UWP series by Sony.1- Overpriced and had interference once. Yes, I did a scan. Church was clean.2- When the talent speaks any words containing "s" the S seems to have a lot of Treble like a mixer with the highs on the MAXIMUM. It really bothers me as for pro Audio, this is unacceptable.3- BIGGEST COMPLAINT: The supplied LAV that came with my V6 produces excessive sound coloration plus picks up every sound in the room. HOWEVER, for a Bride and Groom facing each other this is GOOD as it picks up the sound from all 3 (Bride, Groom and Priest) EQUALLY!4-No case? C'mon Sony... for [$]?! I am actually using my Samson 32 case for it since I can never use them again.5- I LOVE that both transmitters feature a LINE-IN so I can plug straight into the DJ's mixer at the Reception. The result by recording on camera the pure sound coming from the CD on 1 channel and the ambience from your shot gun will make your wedding production very hi-end, being vastly superior than placing the mic on a stand near the DJ's speakers which records the music and ALL the ambient noise you don't want, plus the JD's speakers sometimes are cheap distort a little. Especially if it is a Bose brand in which you'll be getting just the mid range. . Man, that will make your night difficult...

                                When I tested the model for the first time on our video shoot, the vocal clarity on the wireless mic was outstanding. I purchased other units with a bigger price tag and now I'm kicking myself for the mistake[...]I just made the best purchase yet for 2011.Never judge a book by it's cover or the price ..... LOL
