The Sony DWR-S03D combines two wideband receivers, both with AES3 and analog outputs, into a compact slot-in chassis. It is designed to mount into Sony digital slot-in compatible camcorders, UniSlot camcorders, and SuperSlot-enabled devices using either the DWA-SLAS1 or DWA-SLAU1 adapters (both available separately). Bag operation is also possible with the DWA-F01D adapter (available separately).

The DWR-S03D utilizes Sony's third-generation DWX digital technology to deliver superb audio quality with low latency, high wireless reliability (with double tuner/antenna diversity per channel), and secure AES 256-bit encryption. Fast to set up and easy to operate, it is well suited for professionals working on location in ENG/EFP, broadcast, and film applications.

The wide 140 MHz bandwidth and high-density multichannel operation combine to greatly increase the probability of finding unoccupied frequencies in congested metropolitan areas, ideal for large-scale productions.

The DWR-S03D comes with a host of smart features designed to get you shooting in no time. They include automatic two-channel scan and transmitter sync for quick frequency setting, pre-programmed channel plans to ensure frequency compatibility, and a user memory function to instantly store and recall user menu choices.

A quick-response OLED display clearly shows operational information in real time. When used with Sony XDCAM camcorders, transmitter settings can be wirelessly remote-controlled from the camcorder and wireless audio status can be monitored on the camcorder's viewfinder.

The DWR-S03D is compatible with the DWT-B30, DWT-B03R, and DWT-B01N bodypack transmitters, the DWN-02N handheld transmitter, and the DWT-P01N plug-on transmitter. It is also backward compatible with all DWX 1st and 2nd generation transmitters.

Advanced Integration with XDCAM Camcorders

Get the Most from your DWX System with Sony XDCAM Camcorders

Advanced integration functions are available when the DWR-S03D is combined with an XDCAM professional camcorder, using the additional DWA-01D adapter. This also allows four-channel wireless mic operation using two receivers.

• The camcorder synchronizes audio latency inherent in digital transmission with video recording latency.
• Wireless audio status can be monitored on the camcorder’s LCD or viewfinder.
• Transmitter parameters can be controlled remotely from the camcorder via proprietary Cross Remote technology.
• The camcorder’s assignable switch can remotely control the transmitter power save.
• Transmission power-save mode changes automatically to Active or Sleep by switching camcorder’s main power on or off.

Pristine Digital Audio Quality with Four Codec Modes

Professional Sound

• The DWX system delivers pristine 24-bit digital audio with a wide dynamic range of more than 106 dB, extended frequency response of 20 Hz to 22 kHz, and sharp transient response.

Four Codec Modes for a Wide Range of Applications

• Mode 1: Compatible with first generation DWX-series devices.
• Mode 2: Prioritizes short latency times while maintaining transmission stability and high audio quality.
• Mode 3: Additional signal processing suppresses noise caused by unexpected pulse interference.
• Mode 4: Prioritizes audio quality while maintaining transmission stability and low delay time.

Low Latency

• Ideal for live applications, the system achieves an extremely low audio latency time of 1.2 ms, with a 96 kHz sampling rate (codec Mode 2, with DWT-B03R or DWT-B30 transmitters).

Control Your Transmitters Remotely to Simplify Setup

Cross Remote Function

• Remotely monitor and control your transmitters through Zigbee communications including mic gain, RF power output, low-pass cut-off frequency, and transmitter Sleep Mode.
• Frequency scan and transmitter sync of both channels with one command.
• Remote control and automatic frequency change of the transmitter and the receiver.

Reliable Transmission with High-Density Multichannel Operation

• True Diversity Reception: The receiver achieves highly stable signal reception by using true dual-tuner/antenna reception circuits with comparator circuit.
• X-Dimension Diversity: Ensures transmission reliability by combining multiple dimensions of diversity with Sony’s digital technology and a highly accurate calculation algorithm.
• High Density 375-kHz Channel Plan: 16 full-quality channels per 6-MHz TV channel deliver reliable transmissions with less interference during complex, multichannel shoots.

Other Features

• Lightweight die-cast magnesium and aluminum construction ensures rugged, reliable operation in harsh environments.
• Data transmission and reception with AES 256-bit encryption.
• Unit can be powered via USB while in operation.
• Sound Devices and AATON compatibility (SuperSlot).
