Sony develops the DWM-30 digital wireless microphone with better transmission performance

In spring 2025, Sony will begin marketing its new DWM-30 professional handheld digital wireless microphone, which will expand its range of high-quality DWX microphones.

The DWM-30 replaces the DWM-02N, widely used in professional audio environments such as broadcast stations, live performances and news gathering. From one model to another, the transmission performance has been further improved, ensuring stable operation of the wireless microphone system.

The mechanical structure optimization has resulted in a grip design that is easier to hold and approximately 10% lighter than the previous model (transmitter body weight comparison). The duration of the battery The DWM-30 has also been improved by about 1 hour compared to the previous model, achieving about 6 hours of continuous operation, suitable for long-term use (using alkaline batteries).

Thanks to the electromagnetic field simulation In the design, the transmission performance has been improved, providing more stable operation. Two models of the DWM-30 will be available in Europe, covering a wide bandwidth of up to 148 MHz.

By revising the electrical circuits and mechanical structure, Sony has further improved the sound quality. When used with CODEC MODE 4, the recorded and transmitted sound is more faithful to the original sound.

In it CODEC MODE 2, the new microphone offers a low latency of 1.2 msec. It is also compatible with the CODEC MODE 4, que equilibra la transmisión de alta calidad y la baja latencia. Admite una banda ancha de hasta 148 MHz en la banda de espacio en blanco de TV / plan de canales de 375 kHz, lo que permite hasta 16 canales por banda de TV.

Cuando los ajustes habituales no proporcionan un nivel de sensibilidad suficiente al capturar sonidos, el Modo de alta ganancia permite una amplificación en 3 etapas de +6/+12/+18dB, lo que hace posible amplificar el sonido incluso cuando el micrófono se mantiene alejado de la boca durante la grabación, aumentando así la sensibilidad.
