Features

The URX-S03D UHF Synthesized Diversity Tuner is a 
two-channel slot-in wireless tuner that can be used in 
conjunction with Sony professional camcorders and 
optional wireless adapters.

Two-channel camcorder-slot-in receiver

The unit is a camcorder slot-in receiver that supports 
systems that include two transmitters operating 
simultaneously. If your camcorder does not support slot-
in mounting, you can attach the unit to an optional DWA-
01D or DWA-F01D wireless adapter.

XDCAM compatibility 

The two channels of digital signals processed by the 
unit’s DSP can be sent directly to the camcorder via the 
15-pin D-sub connector. The RF/AF levels of each 
wireless microphone can also be viewed via the 
camcorder’s viewfinder.

HDCAM compatibility

The units’ single channel of analog output signals can be 
sent directly to the camcorder via the 15-pin D-sub 
connector. Two different audio signals sent from two 
transmitters can also be mixed for output as a single-
channel audio signal.
The RF/AF levels of each wireless microphone can also 
be viewed via the camcorder’s viewfinder. When both 
channels are enabled, channel 1 is displayed. When only 
one channel is enabled, that channel is displayed.

True diversity system

The unit is equipped with two lines of reception for each 
channel that can receive signals from the transmitter 
simultaneously. The true diversity system determines the 
stronger of the two antennas signals and selects it 
automatically, achieving highly stable reception with 
minimal interruption and noise across a wide area.

Compatibility with Sony analog wireless 
microphones

The built-in DSP enables digital companding for high-
quality audio transmissions. Switching to compander 
mode allows operation in conjunction with Sony analog 
wireless microphone system (UWP series and WRT 
series) transmitters.

High-visibility display

The area of the display screen is twice that of previous 
models, providing enhanced visibility. The built-in 
backlight also allows easy settings changing in even the 
darkest of shooting locations.

Channel scanning

Clear channel scanning for detecting unoccupied 
channels and active channel scanning for detecting used 
channels allow you to quickly assess the situation at a 
location and configure the appropriate channel.

Built-in infrared communication function

When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series 
transmitters, the frequency and compander mode settings 
configured on the unit can be sent using the infrared 
communication function, allowing you to complete 
channel configurations quickly.

Sturdy construction for use outdoors

Designed to withstand rough outdoor conditions with its 
solid dust-proof body, the unit meets JIS II drip-resistance 
standards when mounted on a camcorder with its 
antennas attached.

Switchable squelch function

A squelch function that can be turned on or off depending 
on the situation is available.
