Remember the Essentials

Batteries are not included.  Make sure you get the batteries you need.

The Sony UWP-V2 Wireless Handheld 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 (bodypack) 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-V2 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 handheld transmitter features a cardioid microphone element. Like the receiver, the body-pack transmitter also features 188 selectable UHF frequencies and operates for up to 8 hours on two-AA size alkaline batteries. Additional features include selectable RF output level and an LCD display.

Improved All Metal Construction
The transmitter and receiver both feature metal construction for maximum durability on the road.
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.

      I bought this wireless handheld mic to use exclusively with our Cannon GL2 Camcorder to conduct video interviews for our corporate intranet - and have been quite impressed with the quality and features of this mic kit.

      I highly recommend this microphone.

            after using subpar wireless systems in the field,
            after listening to interference, static, and who knows how many "phhtts", i finally decided on the Sony Wireless system.

            "System, is versatile, muffled noise when hand-held,and clear reception when distance is great.

            After many hand-held intereviews in field, system has answered any of my reliability and durability questions "should have purchased this system long ago, very pleased"

                This definitely served our purposes. We shoot on a Canon GL2 and this is fairly compact and allows for easily setup and mobility. Sound quality is good.
