Sony UTX-P40 Digital Wireless Plug-On Transmitter (CE42: 638 to 694MHz)
The Sony UTX-P40 Digital Wireless Plug-On Transmitter (CE42: 638 to 694MHz) is a wireless plug-on transmitter compatible with the URX-P40 camera-mount receiver. Compact and lightweight, with a robust, all-metal construction, this plug-on is well suited for tough operating conditions.
The UTX-P40 can be attached to a handheld microphone of your choice for man-on-the-street interviews, or to a shotgun mic for wireless booming (both types of mics are available separately). The plug-on provides 48V phantom power, giving you the option to use a condenser microphone. The transmitter offers a 72 MHz bandwidth with 2772 selectable UHF frequencies.
The UTX-P40 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.
- You can operate up to 16 mics in one location.
