Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do any non-Sony mic brands work with this?

A: Yes. Brands like Sanken, Countryman, Tram, Voice Technologies and Senal make compatible mics for the Sony UWP-D27 system.

Q: 2. If I already own a UC14 receiver with two transmitters, should I get another set for UC14 or should I get a different frequency band?

A: I would base the decision of whether to get another Sony UWP-D27 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System on the same frequency range on how well your current system works. If you find frequencies are always readily available, and the range works well in your area, it may be sensible to get another system on the same range. The UWP-D27 has 2,772 potential frequencies, so adding two for a total of four would not necessarily be detrimental. On the other hand, another frequency range adds versatility if the existing system sometimes struggles to find open channels.

Q: 3. Are there any advantages or disadvantages of using the UC90 version? Is it true that a license is required to use this band.

A: No license is required to use any version of the Sony UWP-D27 within the USA. There is no objective benefit to any frequency block over another, as the frequencies used has no direct effect on audio quality. The only case in which you would prefer one frequency block over another would be if 1. there is radio activity/interference within one band in your area, or 2. if you need to ensure compatibility between this and another Sony wireless device.

Each range's viability and number of open channels can vary based on the specific location they are used in.

Q: 6. What frequency should I buy doing most of my work in Tampa, FL?

Q: 9. 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: 10. 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.
