Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What frequency recommendation for Hawaii and is there a website that can best help us find out what frequency is free while traveling for work?

A: All three of Sony's UWP-D frequency bands are compatible for use in Hawaii. The UC14 frequency band (470 to 542 MHz) is the best option and the UC25 band (536 to 608 MHz) is nearly as good. The UC90 band (941 to 960 MHz) will also work. Each band has 2,772 auto-scan frequencies so chances are very good that you will be able to find a clear frequency to use anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico.

Q: 2. I'm in Denver and I cannot decide which frequency block to get. If anyone can help me decide, and explain why, that would be lovely!

A: The UC14: 470 to 542 MHz and UC25: 536 to 608 MHz frequency bands for the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System are both very good options for use in Denver, Colorado. Each band has 2,772 auto-scan frequencies so there are plenty of individual frequencies within the band to be able to find clear frequencies to use for transmitting audio and avoiding strong broadcast signal from local radio and TV stations.

Q: 3. What frequency would you recommend for Washington DC?

A: Radio activity varies by day, but for crowded metropolitan areas the UC90 band of the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is usually safest.

Q: 4. What would be your frequency recommendation for using it in a project in Spain?

A: You can use wireless microphones that operate within the range of 470 to 695 MHz in Spain, so the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for the UC14: 470 to 542 MHz and the UC25: 536 to 608 MHz frequency bands should both work.

Q: 5. I had hearing loss in one ear. Is there a setting where I can listen to two people's voices mixed?

A: Unfortunately there is not a way to set only the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System's headphone output to mono, while retaining dual-channel output via the main Line Out.

Q: 6. Is the dual audio output compatible with mirrorless cameras like the Nikon Z9? Or how would I input both mics to the camera? I'm trying to go an interview style film with 2 talents. Thank you.

A: Yes, the Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is compatible for use with the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera. You would connect the output from the receiver to the camera's 3.5mm mic input using the included 3.5mm to locking 3.5mm cable and the audio from both microphones will be recorded by the camera along with the video.

Q: 7. What would be your frequency recommendation for someone who is traveling a lot in the U.S. (mostly in the midwest but occasionally the coasts)?

A: Any of these frequency bands will work just fine anywhere in North America under current FCC regulations. Part of the reason there are different bands is so that you can use many systems at the same time and within the same space so that they do not interfere with each other. Another reason is if you are going to be using the system in a place where there are already many other wireless systems, you can choose the one that resides outside of the frequency band that those systems run in, to avoid interference with those systems. If you are not going to be in a space where there is already a lot of wireless traffic, then any of these will work just fine, up to 300 feet line of sight between the transmitters and the receiver.

Q: 8. How do the sony mics sound compared to the sennheiser (g3,g4)?

A: The Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System is an excellent wireless microphone system and very comparable to the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System. Both systems are very popular, however, Sennheiser does not offer a dual-channel camera-mount receiver, so for a camera-mount system with two transmitters, the Sony UWP-D27 is a great option.

Q: 9. I own this and want to add a handheld mic to that works with the receiver. Which handheld wireless works best with it?

A: You can use the Sony UTX-M40 Wireless Handheld Cardioid Microphone Transmitter that works in the same frequency band as the URX-P41D receiver (BH #SOUTXM4014). This is made by Sony, for direct compatibility with the URX-P41D receiver. Please keep in mind that you can only use up to 2 wireless transmitters with the URX-P41D receiver at a time.

Q: 10. Hi. Will the range UC25 (536 to 608) work in Europe as well? Thank you.

A: The Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System for UC25: 536 to 608 MHz may work in Europe. The frequency bands for wireless microphone systems differ in every country, so you will need to check the FCC regulations for the country where you will be to make sure that this frequency band can be used for unlicensed or licensed wireless microphones.
