Features

The DWZ series is a digital wireless system

that combines Sony’s consistently

developed superior audio technology,

highly reliable wireless technology, and

state-of-the-art digital signal processing

technology. Using an unlicensed 2.4 GHz

band, the system provides wide-range

functionality with simple, user-friendly

operability.

By providing a package that is optimized

for specific usage environments, the system

offers a wireless solution to users ranging

from those inexperienced with wireless

systems to seasoned professionals.

A new microphone that can

comprehensively pick up the wide dynamic

range produced by instruments has also

been developed (DWZ-B50I).

Superb audio quality

By transmitting audio signals via 24-bit

high-quality linear PCM digital

transmission, without signal compression,

decompression (available only when the RF

mode is set to Narrow Mode (NARROW)),

or similar processing, the system provides

superb audio quality and high-bandwidth

transmissions that approach that of wired

microphones.

High reliability

By allowing you to select from two RF

modes based on your intended use and

incorporating Sony’s unique data

processing technology, the system provides

highly-reliable wireless transmission in

wireless LAN environments. In addition,

the two RF modes each consist of six

channels, allowing you to select the

appropriate RF mode and channel

according to your intended purpose. The

receiver is equipped with two antennas with

6Features

the antenna with the best reception status

selected automatically via space diversity,

providing stable reception with minimized

audio breakup and noise occurrences.

DWZ-B50I

The DWZ-B50I is a package that includes a

microphone ideal for use with saxophones,

trumpets, and other wind instruments, a

body-pack transmitter (ZTX-B01), and a

half-rack receiver (ZRX-HR50).

DWZ-B50GB

The DWZ-B50GB is a package that

includes a body-pack transmitter

(transmitter: ZTX-B01) and a half-rack

receiver (receiver: ZRX-HR50) and is ideal

for use with electric guitars, electric

acoustic guitars, electric bass guitars, etc.

ZTX-B01

A transmitter designed with a sturdy metal

body.

Equipped with a muting function, an

instrument/mic input switching function,

and an attenuator adjustment function, the

unit supports a wide range of audio input

levels. The supplied belt clip can be rotated

in 90-degree increments, allowing you to

adjust the direction in which the cables

extend based on your environment.

ZRX-HR50

A half-rack receiver equipped with large-

screen high-resolution color LCD that

combines high-functionality with simple

operability.

The Best Channel Selection and Clear

Channel Scan functions allow quick and

easy configuration of safe channels. The

cable tone generator also allows you to

match the quality of wireless and wired

audio. This reduces the amount of equalizer

adjustment necessary on the amp side

during wireless transmission. In addition,

the 5-band graphic equalizer allows wide-

range audio-quality adjustment. You can

also select whether the muting function

applies to the UNBALANCED/

BALANCED OUTPUT connector.

Using the optional RMM-HRD1 Rack

Mount Kit allows you to mount the unit on

a rack.
