SONY DWX Ultra Wideband Bodypack Transmitter

SONY DWX Ultra Wideband Bodypack Transmitter is a compact digital wireless bodypack transmitter built for live sound, theater, concerts, studio-based TV production, ENG, and EFP work. From the supplied source, it is part of Sony’s third-generation DWX digital wireless microphone system and supports microphone or line input operation.

This is the kind of transmitter that makes sense when talent needs a discreet wireless pack with secure digital transmission and strong RF flexibility. With wideband tuning, selectable RF output power, Cross Remote control, four codec modes, OLED display, and USB power support, it is built for demanding multi-channel production environments.

Why It Helps

This bodypack transmitter is useful when production audio needs secure wireless capture from a lavalier, headset, or other body-worn microphone setup. For theater, concerts, live events, ENG, EFP, and studio TV, the compact pack gives talent freedom to move while keeping the audio inside Sony’s DWX digital wireless system.

The wideband tuning and selectable RF power are helpful when the RF environment is crowded. Engineers can choose lower power for dense multi-channel coordination or higher output when stable range is the priority, depending on the production layout and frequency plan.

Remote control support also saves time on set. Input attenuation, RF frequency, RF power, low-cut frequency, and sleep mode can be controlled from the receiver side through the Cross Remote system, so engineers do not always need to reach the transmitter once it is already fitted on talent.

System Characteristics

• 24-bit digital wireless audio for high-quality transmission and reception
• AES 256-bit encryption for secure digital wireless operation
• Cross Remote control for RF, input, low-cut, and sleep-mode settings
• High-density multi-channel operation with 375 kHz spacing
• Four codec modes for compatibility, stability, low latency, and audio quality
• Low audio latency down to 0.7 ms depending on codec mode
• Low-noise head amplifier with -128 dBu noise floor
• OLED display for real-time operational status checks
• Flexible battery options with alkaline, lithium, or NiMH AA-type batteries
