PARAMUS, N.J.—Sony Electronics has expanded its DWX Series of true digital wireless technology with the DWM-30 professional handheld microphone.
The new model is compatible with the entire DWX family and can use three different Sony mic capsules with different pickup patterns. It also accepts third-party mic capsules, the company said.
The DWM-30 digital wireless microphone transmitter is the successor to DWX Series model DWM-02N. The new model combines a user-friendly design, reduced weight and an approximately six-hour battery life with support for the latest codec modes, it said.
The DWM-30 is compatible with current DWX series models and operates within the frequency guidelines adopted as a result of the FCC spectrum reallocation. This model features a wideband operation (up to 148MHz) and allows tuning to frequencies as mandated by the FCC spectrum guidelines UHF-TV Ch 14-36 (470.125-607.875MHz) and 38 UHF-TV (614.125-615.875MHz).
The DWM-30 offers:
- Improved transmission performance for stable operation.
- Faithful sound reproduction with revised electrical circuits and mechanical structure and support for CODEC MODE 4, which balances high-quality transmission and low latency.
- User-friendly design, reduced weight—about 10% less than its predecessor—and approximately six hours of battery life.
- Support for CODEC MODE 2 supporting low latency of 1.2m/sec and newly added support for CODEC MODE 4. It also supports a wide band of up to 148MHz in the TV white space band with a 375-KHz channel plan, allowing for up to 16 channels per TV band for multi-channel simultaneous connections.
- High Gain Mode that allows for three-stage amplification (+6/+12/+18dB) when normal settings are insufficient.
The release of the Sony DWM-30/UC is planned for spring 2025.
