Outline

Sony started in the wireless microphone business in 1974 with the introduction of a 40-MHz band VHF system. This was
soon followed by an industry-first PLL Synthesized VHF system in 1983. Continually enhancing its wireless products line,
Sony introduced a groundbreaking 800-MHz band PLL Synthesized UHF Wireless Microphone system at the NAB event
in 1991. Throughout this period, Sony has been at the forefront of technology -- offering the first UHF PLL Synthesized
Wireless Microphone system with 282 selectable channels, introducing a space diversity RF reception system, realizing
42 operational channels with a 36-MHz band width, and more. These technologies have been adopted for the range
of Sony wireless microphone systems available today. Providing superb audio performance, operational flexibility,
and reliability, these systems have been widely accepted in a broad range of professional audio applications from
broadcasting, production, and theater to entertainment and conferences.
Sony has consistently developed these systems with the following in mind:
 Superb audio performance with wide dynamic range
 Highly stable signal transmission
 Flexible simultaneous multi-channel operation
While Sony wireless microphone systems have greatly innovated professional audio operations, the growth in
popularity of high-definition (HD) content creation and digital audio recording/transmission has called for the
development of large-scale, multi-channel wireless microphone systems with improved sound quality. In response to
these important requirements, Sony continues to strive to develop a digital audio wireless transmission technology
that can match the quality and performance of a wired transmission technology and that can also cope with the
increasing need for simultaneous multi-channel operation.
Sony is offering a broad lineup of digital wireless products available as options for various audio systems. Solutions
range from electronic news gathering (ENG) systems with a bundled camcorder to full-fledged studio/concert systems
supporting simultaneous multi-channel operation. This provides users with the flexibility to configure exactly the digital
wireless microphone system they need.
