The Sony UWP-D12 Camera-Mount Wireless Cardioid Handheld Microphone System provides filmmakers, videographers, and journalists with a professional wireless system featuring digital audio processing for pristine sound, and analog UHF transmission with true-diversity reception for reliability—even under difficult shooting conditions.

The system offers a winning combination of trustworthy performance, ease of use, flexible control, and a wide 72 MHz bandwidth with 2772 frequency options for clean, broadcast-quality audio. You can operate up to 16 mics in one location.

The UWP-D12 includes a camera-mount receiver and a handheld transmitter equipped with an interchangeable cardioid capsule, ideal in situations where you don't have time to position a lavalier mic or you need to quickly pass the mic between several people. The system connects to a camcorder or a DSLR/mirrorless camera to capture natural-sounding speech or dialog for projects ranging from field-based news productions and man-on-the-street interviews to wedding videos and sports events.

A Rugged Build, Ready for the Camera

  • The UWP-D12 features robust, all-metal construction and a lightweight handheld transmitter mic well suited for tough operating conditions. A quick press on the power button allows you to mute your mic.
  • Using the included shoemount adapter, the compact receiver easily mounts on your camera, while adding minimal weight to your rig. Cables are included to connect it to cameras equipped with either a 3.5mm or an XLR audio input. Alternatively, the MI—Multi Interface—shoe on select Sony cameras can serve as a cable-free audio connection using the SMAD-P3 shoe adapter (available separately).
  • If your camera doesn't have a headphone jack, you can monitor your sound via the receiver's headphone output while recording.
  • Daylight-readable displays on both the transmitter and receiver show reception quality, battery status, and audio level.

Fast and Flexible

  • The easy-to-navigate menu allows for secure and speedy settings.
  • With Auto Set enabled, simply power up the components and the Clear Channel Scan function automatically searches for the cleanest frequency at your location. The system then synchronizes the transmitter and receiver via IR Sync with no additional action required-saving you valuable set up time in the field.
  • The RF output level on the transmitter has two settings: the 5mW option allows you to conserve battery life, while the 30mW setting gives you more power to overcome interference, great in busy RF environments.
  • The receiver provides a variable output level control of ±12 dB, so you can optimize it for the input level of a camcorder or DSLR/mirrorless camera, reducing the self-noise that incurs from turning up the camera gain.

Reliable Reception with True Diversity

  • To achieve a stable audio, the UWP-D receiver employs true-diversity technology with two independent receiver sections within the unit and two antennas. Both RF signals are compared, and the stronger signal is automatically selected for output—reducing drop outs to a minimum.
  • The angle of the two antennas can also be adjusted, which helps to further prevent signal drop outs.

Professional Sound with Digital Audio Processing

  • Unlike a traditional analog system, The UWP-D supplements its proven analog UHF transmission technology with proprietary digital audio processing. Transient sounds and consonants are reproduced with greater accuracy, resulting in a natural sound that’s intelligible and nuanced.
  • The handheld mic features a dynamic mic capsule, optimized for capturing news in the field. Its directional cardioid polar pattern helps to reject unwanted background sound, making it ideal in noisy environments such as trade-show floors or busy public areas.
  • For interview situations when you're moving the mic quickly between speakers, you can swap out the included capsule for the CU-F32 capsule (available separately), which offers a more forgiving wide-cardioid pickup pattern. Additionally, the handheld transmitter is compatible with any of the Sony’s DWX Series capsules, as well as over 40 capsules from other manufacturers such as the industry standard Shure SM58.
  • With this set, you can add the UTX-B03 bodypack transmitter with an omnidirectional lavalier mic, ideal for hands-free interviews. For clearer speech in noisy environments, you can use the bodypack transmitter with an ECM-322BMP headset mic.
  • Adding the UTX-P03 plug-on transmitter with 48V phantom power allows you to connect any handheld microphone of your choice or a shotgun mic for wireless booming.

Multiple Powering Options

  • The receiver and transmitters can be powered via two AA batteries for up to 6 hours of shooting time.
  • The receiver 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.
  • The USB port can also recharge the Ni-MH batteries (available separately) while in use.
  • With the SMAD-P3 shoe adapter (available separately) the wireless receiver can get power directly from select Sony cameras.
  • Cartridge-type battery case on the receiver allows for quick battery replacement on set.

Compatibility with Other Sony Wireless Systems

  • UWP-D Series transmitters and receivers can also be used with WL-800 Series receivers and transmitters.
