The URX-S03D UWP-D Dual-Channel Slot-In Wireless Receiver from Sony operates in UHF-TV channels 14-25 and fits directly in the slot of Sony XDCAM and HDCAM camcorders. It can be used to capture audio when paired with the UTX-B03HR beltpack transmitter & microphone (sold separately) and features easy channel setting functions, stable RF transmission, and Digital Audio Processing technology for wireless audio and video applications.

The receiver can access 2772 frequencies and offers True Diversity reception. It is built with a robust metal body and has a weatherproof structure, a selectable squelch, and wide frequency coverage with a choice of channels available. In addition, it also works seamlessly with Sony 800 and UWP Series transmitters. It includes two whip antennas.

Wireless microphone transmission systems are typically subject to interruptions in reception (RF signal dropout). The UWP-D series reduces this to a minimum and utilizes a true diversity reception per channel. It compares the RF signals from the two antennas and automatically selects the stronger signal for output

Sony Digital Audio Processing is used to improve sound quality and transient response performance compared to conventional analog wireless systems. Analog companding systems cannot accurately reproduce sounds such as a bell, tee shot or handclap, but Sony Digital Audio Processing reproduces them faithfully

The URX-S03D provides a two-channel digital connection to XDCAM camcorders or a single-channel connection to HDCAM camcorders via a D-sub 15-pin interface. With HDCAM camcorders, two audio signals from two transmitters can be output in the single channel as a two-channel mixing function. Sony camcorders can also show each wireless microphone's RF/AF level in the viewfinder.

The Auto Set channel mode allows the user to find and set available frequencies to use within the operating frequencies of the system. The receiver will automatically set the transmitter channel using the IR Sync feature

With its Clear Channel Scan, Active Channel Scan function and IR Sync features, the system detects unoccupied channels and selects the most appropriate channel automatically for fast and easy system setup

DSP enables a digital compander to match Sony's analog wireless system. The WP-D Series transmitters and receivers are also compatible with Sony's WL-800 Series and UWP Series, allowing users to switch between different companding modes

The switching bandwidth covers a wide area and has a wide choice of channels available

The receiver achieves stable transmission and reception by using a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop) frequency synthesized system, which provides accurate carrier signal frequencies. This system is used in both the transmitters and tuners, so that a stable carrier is generated at the transmitter, and accurately tuned in at the tuner. This PLL-controlled system provides highly stable, user-selectable frequencies in increments of both 25 kHz and 125 kHz

A: Yes, as long as the receiver and transmitter both operate within the same frequency band.

Q: 6. Which is the best of the three band choices for New York City?

A: The three frequency ranges of the Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver all have many available channels for use in the New York City area. With 2,772 frequencies in each band and the ability to scan for the cleanest channel based on location, each range should have minimal issues finding an open frequency, even in dense RF environments. The UC14 and UC25 bands are most common and recommended in this scenario.

Q: 7. If utilizing this receiver with a Sony FX-3 and the SMAD-P5 and using two transmitters, is the system still true diversity? Also, is auto gain control the only option with the SMAD-P5 and the FX-3?

A: Yes, the Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver still uses true diversity reception when receiving audio from two transmitters and connected to the Sony SMAD-P5 Digital MI Shoe Adapter.

Q: 8. What is the length of the receiver unit including the antennas?

A: The Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver measures 2.8 inches in height, and its antennas add another 5 inches for a total length of just under 8 inches.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Shure G50 band transmitters?

A: The Sony URX-P41D will not work with Shure transmitters.

Q: 10. Is there a 3.5mm to TA3 cable to plug this into an 833 TA3 input?

A: A cable such as the Cable Techniques 3.5mm TRS to TA3F Balanced Cable (BH #CACTS2KT318) could be used to facilitate connection between the locking 3.5 mm TRS female balanced output on the Sony URX-P41D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver and the TA3 input connections on the Sound Devices 833 Multitrack Field Recorder.
