Solid, Reliable, Convenient

We've used a number of mics over the past few years, lavaliers, shotguns, booms, clip-ons, etc., and the Sony UWP-V1 is consistently the most reliable with the richest sound. By combining our Channel 30-32 unit and the 42-45, there's never any interference between mics. All in all, it's an outstanding microphone at a very good price.

Exactly What I Expected From Sony

I've always been a big fan of Sony products. But I had not purchased on in a while. This wireless lavalier microphone performs exactly as described. Out of the box and in production in less than two minutes. All I had to find was batteries. It take four AA batteries (I don't think the product description mentioned battery requirements). I couldn't wait to test it with my video camera and went right out. It worked perfectly and the sound quality is excellent. The only negative that I have is there no easy mount option for the Sony video camera that I have. So you'll have to come up with something for the receiver and your camera. I solved it with my tripod, since there was a screw mount on the bottom that allowed me to attach it there, but, it was an awkward few hours to figure out what to do with the receiver. I think it is well worth the money I spent.

beats Sennheiser

I'm using this system for recording lavalier mic to one channel on DSLR - recording HD video. (The second channel is fed from a shotgun mic.) When filming testimonial video of talking heads, the quality of the audio is as important as the video. This is a great system, when others have remained pricy - Sony stills stands as the best value. No dropouts, easy to use and program, the audio quality is indistinguishable from a hard-wire. I'll get another one soon.

Good Lavalier

Great lavalier with excellent sound. I use it for professional video interviews and so far it has been great. The only drawback is you cannot remove the antenna from the unit.

EXCELLENT quality mic.

On a recommendation from a friend, I bought this over the Sennheiser to save a little money and it was a great way to go. I have used this mic very successful for interview (documentarys) as well as some audio recording. Would recommend it to any videographer.

Great Product

I record sports and this is a great setup to wire up the coaches or players during a game. Adds so much to the recording

Good quality for reasonable price

Have owned one unit for a year. It has been faultless for my uses so I bought two more. I use them for talking heads, panel discussions and presentations using PAs. The only weakness in design seems to be that the windscreens constantly fall off when clients install or remove their mics.

Great Product.

Great price/quality combination. A great and "warrior" wireless mic. I have used a couple of them in some documental tv series so I bought mine and I got it today. I bought a Countryman B3 capsule to improve sound and size of the mic, but it also goes fine with the included one.

Great product! Great price!

A great product for connecting a lavaliere mic to my DVX100b camera wireless to obtain crisp clear audio. Works great and love the price.

The Sony UWPV1 is an UWP Series UHF synthesized wireless microphone system. The package includes a lavalier microphone, bodypack transmitter and portable diversity tuner. Mounting adapter for camcorder is also included. The TV channel receiving frequency is 30 to 33.

The UWP-V1 includes extremely robust metal construction, mic/line input selection on the bodypack transmitter, a miniature metal body omni-directional microphone and plus the receiver includes a convenient auto channel scanning function allowing automatic search for unoccupied channels.

Sony UWPV1 Features

  • Consists of an omni lavalier microphone, bodypack transmitter and portable tuner
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, from news gathering and interviews to talk shows and conferences
  • The lavalier microphone is supplied with microphone windscreens and a microphone-holder clip
  • The bodypack transmitter is supplied with a belt clip
  • The tuner is supplied with a shoe-mount adaptor (for camcorder mounting) and 2 cables (3-pole mini-plug/XLR and 3-pole mini-plug/stereo mini-plug)
  • PLL Synthesized System: Achieves stable transmission and reception by using a UHF PLL (Phase Locked Loop) frequency synthesized system, which provides accurate carrier signal frequencies
  • Space Diversity Reception System: Typically, wireless microphone transmission systems can be subject to reception interruptions (signal dropout), but UWP series tuners reduce this to a minimum
  • Tone Squelch Circuitry: To avoid picking up carrier signals transmitted from other systems, the transmitter transmits a 32 kHz pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. The tuner's squelch circuit recognizes this tone signal and outputs the audio signal only when this tone signal is received
  • Simultaneous Multi-Channel Operation: Simultaneous operation of up to 16 wireless microphones. Optimum combinations of practically tested, interference-free frequencies are stored in the tuner
