Sony UTX-M40 Wireless Handheld Cardioid Microphone Transmitter (CE42: 638 to 694MHz)
The Sony UTX-M40 Wireless Handheld Cardioid Microphone Transmitter (CE42: 638 to 694MHz) is a wireless handheld microphone transmitter compatible with the URX-P40 camera-mount receiver. The rugged, all-metal design is comfortable for performers and presenters to hold and is well suited for tough operating conditions. The transmitter offers a 72 MHz bandwidth with 2772 selectable UHF frequencies. It provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries, with an adjustable 5/30mW RF power output and a transmission range up to 330'.
The UTX-M40 features a dynamic microphone capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the presenter in front of the mic while reducing unwanted background noise. The transmitter uses an interchangeable mic capsule design compatible with over 40 different capsules from various manufacturers.
The UTX-M40 is backward-compatible with Sony WL-800 and UWP Series systems.
Unlike purely digital systems, the UTX-P40 allows you to send a single mic to multiple cameras for broadcast applications. Fast NFC communication makes setup for multiple receivers a breeze.
The +15 dB Gain Volume-Boost mode boosts the mic gain by 15 dB to compensate for situations when the mic is not close enough to the presenter’s mouth and the audio level is insufficient.
Manual input-level setting is also available.
The unit can also be powered through its USB port, allowing it to run for numerous hours on a USB power pack or indefinitely, if you have access to AC.
A battery count-up timer allows for accurate reading of battery running time to minute accuracy.
- Switchable Mic/Line input level so you can set the correct gain level for your sound source.
- Low-cut filter reduces noise caused by wind or machinery—Off / Low (100 Hz) / Mid (150 Hz) / High (200 Hz).
- Simple menus make navigation easy. Advanced menus for in-depth control are also available.
- The variable mute button on the transmitter can be programmed for latched or momentary muting. It can also be used as a momentary talk button.
