Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this receiver be as a IFB to monitor audio?

A: Yes, the Sony URX-P40 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver does have a 3.5mm headphone jack which can be used to monitor audio, so it could be used for an IFB application.

Q: 2. Can you use 2 of these units with one body pack transmitter. Use case would be put one receiver on camera for monitoring and one receiver into audio recorder as a way of having redundancy in recordings.

A: Yes, two Sony URX-P40 Camera-Mount Wireless Receivers can be used with a single transmitter, as long as both the transmitter and the receivers are set to the same wireless channel.

Q: 3. is there something on the device that would make it introduce hiss into the transmission? I recently bought one. Tested it with 2 identical senheiser boom mics requiring 48v phantom. One sounds great, the other has a major hiss. Tried it on several other mics (57s/58s) and nothing. The "bad" mic works 100% when wired.

A: 1. Make sure to scan for the best frequencies to use before every session. 2. Try lowering the gain

Q: 4. What is the body length including the antennas?

A: The Sony URX-P40 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver has a specified height of 70mm or 2 7/8 inches without antennas. The antennas can add up to 5 inches of height, but their lengths vary depending on the frequency range chosen. Lower frequencies mean longer antennas.

Q: 5. Does this newer receiver work with the previous gen UTX-B03 transmitter? I need to add a 2nd receiver to my kit.

A: Yes, this URX-P40 receiver will work with the previous generation UTX-B03 transmitter as long as they both operate on the same frequency band.

Q: 6. Will the receiver transmit static when the mic is off?

A: The receiver in the Sennheiser XSW 1-825-A UHF Vocal Set with e825 Dynamic Microphone System should not output static when it is not paired with the microphone transmitter. However, as it operates on open channels, it could be subject to RF in the area when unpaired, which could potentially manifest itself as audio static.

Q: 7. Can the receiver have 2 mics connected to it? Like 1 handheld and 1 lapel mic?

A: No. This receiver can only be used to connect to one transmitter at a time.

Q: 8. can both mics operate at the same time or does one have to be shut off for the other to work?

A: Both microphones in the Samson Expedition XP310w 10" 300W Portable PA System with Wireless Handheld and Lavalier Microphone Kit can be used simultaneously. The XP310w has two wireless receiver slots, one of which is empty upon purchase. This kit bundles a second wireless microphone and receiver for installation and use with the original speaker and microphone all at the same time, if desired.

Q: 9. If I bought 2 of these, could I run all 4 mics simultaneously without frequency interference?

A: Yes, you can run up to 10 transmitters at the same time with these systems.

Q: 10. can this receiver handle 2 transmitters at the same time?

A: Just one transmitter to each receiver please.
