About Sony DWT-B30

From live theater productions to bustling concert venues and dynamic studio-based TV production, the DWT-B30 DWX Gen3 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter from Sony stands out as a premium choice for professionals seeking reliability and exceptional audio quality. As a key component of Sony's acclaimed third-generation DWX series, this compact bodypack transmitter is a testament to Sony's fusion of advanced digital technologies, analogue microphone prowess, and robust wireless audio transmission capabilities, all backed by a reputation for unwavering stability.

The DWT-B30 ensures secure, stable transmission and reception of superior 24-bit digital audio with impressively low latency, thanks to Sony's cutting-edge digital audio processing, encryption, and RF transmission technologies. The transmitter boasts an expansive bandwidth of up to 148 MHz, which varies by region, and a high-density 375 kHz interval channel plan that facilitates simultaneous multi-channel operation. This feature is particularly advantageous in densely populated metropolitan areas where finding clear frequencies can be challenging.

Compatibility with Sony Wireless Studio control software for PC (Version 5.0 or later) enhances the DWT-B30's versatility, enabling comprehensive remote operation. When used in conjunction with the RMU-01 remote control unit (sold separately), the Cross Remote function allows for the remote control of up to 82 transmitters, streamlining workflow for large-scale events and productions.

The DWX system's audio performance is nothing short of exceptional, delivering a dynamic range exceeding 106 dB, a frequency response from 20 Hz to 22 kHz, and outstanding transient response. For productions requiring a high channel count, the DWT-B30 supports up to 21 channels per 8 MHz TV band or 16 channels per 6 MHz TV band, thanks to its high-density multi-channel operation capability.

Designed with live performance in mind, the system achieves an ultra-low audio latency time of just 1.2 msec at a 96kHz sampling rate (codec MODE2, with DWT-B03R or DWT-B30), ensuring high-fidelity sound that keeps pace with the action. The transmitter also offers flexible audio input control, with 48dB at 3dB steps audio attenuation and support for both line and microphone inputs. Moreover, audio attenuation can be remotely managed from the receiver side using Sony's wireless remote control system.

The DWT-B30 provides selectable RF output power levels (2 mW/10 mW/25 mW), allowing users to optimize for either stable multi-channel operation or extended range as needed. Additionally, the transmitter can be powered via USB, offering a convenient power supply option for extended use or in emergency situations.

Battery life is a crucial consideration for any wireless system, and the DWT-B30 excels with flexible battery options and extended operation times. It is compatible with various AA-type batteries, including alkaline, lithium, or NiMH, with alkaline batteries providing up to 6.5 hours of operation.

Remote monitoring and control functions extend to input attenuation, RF frequency selection, RF power output, audio low-pass cut-off frequency, and transmitter sleep mode, all manageable from the digital wireless receiver. The four selectable codec modes cater to a wide range of applications, ensuring optimal performance whether prioritizing short latency, audio quality, or stability.

The low noise head amplifier of the DWT-B30 achieves a -128dBu noise floor, contributing to the system's overall pristine sound quality. Furthermore, the improved digital modulator and AES 256-bit encryption guarantee a securely encrypted transmission, minimizing the risk of interception and ensuring that content remains confidential.

User settings can be conveniently stored and recalled, simplifying setup for recurring events or venues. The easy-to-read dot-matrix OLED display provides a quick and accurate real-time operational status, ensuring users can make adjustments swiftly and confidently.

In summary, the DWT-B30 DWX Gen3 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter is a sophisticated solution for professionals who demand the best in wireless audio transmission, offering a blend of high-quality sound, operational flexibility, and secure, stable performance.
