The Sony URX-S03D UWP-D Wireless Receiver 470-542 MHzfrom Sony URX-S03D UWP-D Wireless Receiver 470-542 MHzoperates 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

Q: 3. What's the difference between this one and the more expensive one "DWR-S03D"? https://bhpho.to/2Hd9wvU

A: The DWR-S03D utilizes Sony's DWX digital technology and can mount into Sony digital slot-in compatible camcorders, UniSlot camcorders, and SuperSlot-enabled devices using either the DWA-SLAS1 or DWA-SLAU1 adapters. It can also be used in an audio bag with the DWA-F01D adapter. The URX-S03D is a slot-in receiver that 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.

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. Will the URX-S03D fit into the PXW-X320 XDCAM? if so, do you need a mounting adapter? thx

A: Based on Sony's website, this device should fit right into the PXW-X320's slot without any additional adapters.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Can a Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter (UC14: 470 to 542 MHz) be used with this receiver? Or a Sony UTX-B03 Bodypack Transmitter - same freq. channels?

A: Yes, as long as the transmitter and receiver are the same series and same frequency band.

Q: 8. Is it compatible with the old Sony UTX-B2 Transmitter? If not, Are there any modern receiver compatible with the Sony UTX-B2 Transmitter? Can these Sony devices be used with Nikon DSLR or Nikon Z cameras?

A: Yes, the URX-P40 receiver is backwards compatible for use with an older UTX-B2 transmitter as long as both components operate within the same frequency band. The receiver can be used with Nikon DSLR or Z cameras

Q: 9. Does this work for both channels in a Sony X400 camera?

A: Hi Tom, Yes. Thanks, Erin

Q: 10. Is this compatible with the UTX-B40/UTX-P40 transmitters?

A: The Sony URX-S03D Dual-Channel Slot-In Wireless receiver is compatible with UTX-P40, UTX-M40, or UTX-B40 transmitters. You will need to use transmitters that operate in the matching frequency range with the receiver.
