The DWX series system delivers superb-quality wireless transmission of 24-bit digital audio. Thanks to its improved codec and new hardware, it can provide higher sound quality with lower audio latency.

The DWX series works with Sony control software Wireless Studio for PC and Wireless Studio Mobile for smartphones* to give users flexible control of the system. Remote control of up to 82 transmitters can be achieved using the Cross Remote function combined with the RMU-01 remote control unit.

NOTE: This model is available in multiple versions to support the widest possible range of operating frequencies. Please refer to product specifications for more information.

* Wireless Studio Mobile supported OS: iOS Ver.8.0 or later and Android Ver.4.1 or later.

Operation is not guaranteed on all smartphones.

Features

Three codec modes designed for wide variety of applications
MODE1 for compatibility with DWX series applications, MODE2 with higher quality sound and low latency ideal for theater, tour and broadcast applications, and MODE3 with more reliable RF transmission ideal for speech applications.

Superb quality wireless transmission and reception
The digital wireless microphone system transmits and receives high-quality 24-bit digital audio in a specific frequency bandwidth that meets the Wireless Communication Regulations of each country. Utilizing the Sony original codec based on Sony's years of experience in engineering audio products, the system delivers a wide dynamic range of more than 106 dB, a wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 22 kHz, and an excellent transient response.

Stable and secure transmission and reception
Incorporating the improved digital modulator, the digital wireless microphone system allows highly stable wireless transmission that is extremely tolerant to unwanted interference.?In addition, the system transmits and receives digitally modulated and encrypted data to minimize the risk of interception, providing highly secure transmission and reception.

Simultaneous multi-channel operation
The digital wireless microphone system allows for large-scale multi-channel operations. Thanks to the digital modulator, the system realizes an intermodulation-free, equally spaced channel allocation. The digital wireless transmission technology used in this system enables a significant increase in the number of simultaneous operations in comparison with current analog wireless systems. For example, up to16 channels of simultaneous operation is possible in an 8-MHz operating band

Three interchangeable heads and third party support
The DWM-02N operates with three heads. The CU-F31 microphone head with dynamic capsule has a super cardioid pick-up and range from 60 Hz to 18 kHz. The CU-F32 microphone head with wide dynamic capsule has a wide cardioid pick-up and range from 70 Hz 18 kHz. The CU-C31 microphone head with condenser capsule has a cardioid pick-up and range from 60 Hz to 20 kHz. The DWM-02N also supports a wide variety of third party heads.

Quick open/closed mechanism for microphone heads
A robust 31.3mm/pitch 1.0mm threading interchangeable mechanism allows microphone heads to be changed easily and quickly.

Selectable output power
Output power selectable between 1/10/50 mW. Choose the minimum power necessary for a venue, lengthening battery life and reducing the already low possibility of interference. Allows the microphone to work effectively in a very wide range of venues.

Remote control of transmitter functions from the receiver
Input attenuation, RF frequency selection, RF power output, Audio Low-pass cutoff frequency and transmitter Sleep Mode can all be controlled remotely from the digital wireless receiver. Remote control of up to 82 transmitters can be achieved using the Cross Remote function and RMU-01 remote control unit.

Smartphone control using Wireless Studio Mobile software
The DWX series works with Sony control software Wireless Studio 4.2 or later for PC and Wireless Studio Mobile for smartphones* to give users flexible control of the system.

* Wireless Studio Mobile supported OS: iOS Ver.8.0 or later and Android Ver.4.1 or later. Operation is not guaranteed on all smartphones.
