SONY DWX Gen3 2 Ch Wireless Rack Receiver

SONY DWX Gen3 2 Ch Wireless Rack Receiver is a 2-channel 1U rack-mount digital wireless receiver built for Sony DWX Gen3 live sound, broadcast, theater, concert, studio TV, ENG, and EFP workflows. From the supplied source, it uses WiDIF-HP wireless transmission, true diversity reception, and Sony’s third-generation DWX digital wireless technology.

This is the kind of receiver that makes sense when a production needs rack-based wireless audio with networked routing and remote control. With Dante audio-over-IP support, dual OLED displays, Cross Remote control, AES 256-bit encryption, and high-density channel planning, it fits well into large multi-channel RF systems and professional AV installations.

Why It Helps

This rack receiver is useful when the wireless system needs to live in an audio rack instead of on a camera. For theater, concerts, live sound, broadcast control rooms, and studio TV, the 2-channel 1U format keeps receiver management centralized and easier to patch into the rest of the audio system.

Dante support is a major workflow advantage in networked AV and sound reinforcement environments. Audio can move over IP to compatible Dante devices, and the two Dante ports support redundant network operation, which is helpful when the production cannot afford a simple network failure.

Cross Remote control also makes RF management easier. Engineers can control transmitter settings, run channel scan and sync, and manage paired transmitter behavior from the receiver side, reducing trips to the stage, talent room, or camera position during setup.

System Characteristics

• 24-bit digital wireless audio with wide dynamic range and low latency
• Dante audio-over-IP networking for professional AV and sound reinforcement systems
• Four-diversity RF reception design for stronger transmission stability
• High-density multi-channel operation with 375 kHz spacing
• Automatic frequency change by Cross Remote after dropout and scan results
• Auto channel swap for switching audio output 1 and 2 during dropout
• AC power cascade for easier multi-receiver rack installation
• Setting lock to help prevent accidental changes during performance
