UHF Wireless Microphone Systems

Despite its compact design, the WRR-862 simultaneously

receives two independent RF signals on two separate 

channels. A space diversity system is employed on both

channels to eliminate signal dropout and provide stable

reception. Two SMC9-4S (Sony 4-pin) audio output 

connectors are provided on the top panel.

The WRR-862 is available in two versions. The WRR-862A

operates over a 14 MHz frequency band within the range

792 MHz to 806 MHz (AU), while the WRR-862B model 

operates over a 24 MHz frequency band between 470 MHz

and 806 MHz (UC), or 470 MHz to 862 MHz (CE). 

The operating frequency of the WRR-862B specifically

accommodates the re-allocation of wireless operation 

frequency band due to the advent of Digital TV broadcasting.

The WRR-862 dual diversity tuner has LED and LCD displays

to provide extensive range of information.

LED for each channel to indicate RF input level (green/

red indication), diversity reception status and transmitter 

battery alarm.

LCD for each channel to indicate operating channel/

frequency, AF output level, RF input level, receiver battery

status and accumulated battery operating time.

Dual Diversity Tuner

Operating 

frequency ranges

*1

This dual diversity tuner is extremely compact and light-

weight. At only 400 g (14.1 oz) including batteries, it is easily

mounted on Sony professional camcorders with the supplied

attachment kit and case.

Approximate five

*2

hours of continuous operation is provided

by four AA-size alkaline batteries. The WRR-862 is also capable

of operating on external power from Sony camcorders via

the supplied DC cable.

The WRR-862 incorporates RF squelch that is easily turned

ON or OFF. When turned ON, the RF level is selectable from

5 dBµ, 10 dBµ and 15 dBµ.

The WRR-862 includes a stereo mini jack for monitoring 

the output sound (switchable: Tuner 1/2/mixed) with head-

phones. A monitor volume control is also included.
