SONY F780/9X
July 2005—The F780/9X ($400) from Sony Pro Audio is an enhanced version of its top-of-the-line F780 dynamic vocal microphone. Intended for critical vocal reproduction, the F780/9X features a hypercardioid capsule with a rigid structure, high sensitivity and low mechanical noise. A urethane coating on the F780/9X's body yields extremely low handling noise. Frequency response is 50 to 18k Hz and impedance is 400 ohms.


SONY SRP-F300
January 2004—Sony's SRP-F300 is a little-known SR processor that's been living in the shadow of Sony's more glamorous pro audio gear. The F300 features 96kHz sampling, a choice of analog or AES inputs, and either graphic or parametric filters that can be chosen for input EQ. It has an internal pink-noise and sine wave generator, and its compressor can accept sideband EQ. It is programmed from Windows 95/98 software, and front panel controls allow only limited adjustment for security purposes.


SONY ECM-88 LAVALIER
October 2002—Sony Electronics introduces a comprehensive range of new mic products at this year's AES. Sony's new ECM-88 lavalier electret condenser microphone integrates unique technology in its miniature microphone capsule by incorporating a dual-diaphragm structure. The ECM-88 offers extremely low handling noise and unparalleled high sound quality.


SONY UWP SERIES
October 2002—UWP Series UHF wireless mics offer superb sound quality and diversity reception in 6 packaged models. The UWP Series includes a handheld mic (with integrated transmitter) or a lavalier mic (with bodypack transmitter), each with a choice of a half-rack-type tuner, tuner module or portable tuner.


SONY ADDS TO LEGACY 800 SERIES

This Sony wireless system, designed for applications requiring a large number of wireless mics such as broadcast program production, theater and live P.A., sports a dynamic range of 116 dB and 20 to 20k Hz frequency response, and can be controlled from any Ethernet-equipped PC via the included software. Up to four WRU-8N tuners, each with LED AF/RF level and transmitter battery alarm indicators and an LCD screen for viewing channel, frequency and group settings, can be installed in one MB-8N base. Up to four MB-8Ns can be linked (to provide 16 channels total) without requiring an antenna divider. The WRT-8B bodypack transmitter's size (2.5×3×1 inches) and ultra-lightweight (4.9 ounces) make it a great choice for ENG, documentary production and sports coverage.


SONY F-780/9X
May 2001—Sony's F-780/9X ($375) handheld dynamic mic is an improved version of the company's F-780, its previous top-of-the-line dynamic vocal mic.
