hi Andy Munitz thank you for your very good explaination. Me and other met noise level sound problem with smad-d3 (mi shoes)(have tested on fs7, a7r3 and a7s3) is there firmware (mine is 1.006) or explanations for this problem because we have better sound when plug sound with mini jack than digital SMAD-D3 it is not what we expected when bought this product. Thank you for your answer.
In a congested area, wouldn't it be better to auto scan with the transmitter off? In this example, Receiver auto scan was performed with the transmitter transmitting at 566.125, so the receiver skipped that frequency because it saw the channel as being used and unavailable, so it ended up with 569.00. In my opinion, wouldn't it be better to auto scan with the transmitter off until the receiver says it's ready to auto set...then turn on the transmitter to receive the frequency?
Anyone have any interference issues that make it sound like there is a heavy noise gate? I am experiencing this when using these in my office's hallways that are made of metal floor panels. Cabling runs under these. As soon as I step in to a room which is carpeted the issue goes away. This does not happen at all with an analog Rode lav mic.
I have been trying like crazsy to understand the menus on my UWP-D 11 system, but I am so freaking frustrated I want to throw the damn things off the bridge. Right from the start, my menus are very different than what you show here. For example, I have no Auto setting. I tried turning on the unit while holding the set button but that did nothing. In fact, the receiver would not even turn on much less seek a channel. I tried it once with my Sony camera, but the sound was so god awful I couldn't use it for anything. This sucks! Can you help me get started?
Hello good people, i hope that who ever see this comment can clarify somethings for me. Lets say that i am intending to use this wireless system to record an interview with 2 speakers each wearing lav mic + transmitter and the whole thing is recorded on Sony NX80 which can record 2 channels of audio. Will this system record conversation of two people into channel one and allows me to record ambient sounds to the channel two or will it record each person to one channel forcing me to record ambient sound externally? Thank you in advance!
@sonorgretsch That is weird... because Sony took back my receiver, changed a chip and firmware on the receiver. Got much better after that. But their official explaination was that my newly bought Sony system was not completely compatible with Sony FS7. Perhaps it is the shoe adapter smad-p3 that still is not compatible. Are you using the shoe mount?
On your FS7II, try changing the camera's menu on the audio input from 'level + side' to just 'side'. That brings control to just the knob on the 'side' of the camera. Menu 'level' control can be used if you want to use the camera's handgrip scroll wheel to change audio level, but I would think you have better uses for that wheel. I think the compatibility answer you received is not quite correct...
@@andrewmunitz8949 Will test that. But I bought this solution so I could use 4 tracks. I got this answer directly from Sony support via my distributor. I have a receipt on this "repair" as well... which I got for free of charge. There are others that have exact the same problem. The noise is the same white noise you get when my wireless is off. I have recorded the noise... so I can do a better repair in Adobe Audition.
@sonorgretsch Well min sucks. Have turned gps off etc. Sony changed a chip and firmware on receiver. The audio goes to FS7 via hotshoe. Sony has said to me that it is not compatible with Sony FS7. I could use XLR, but then its analog. Solution was Sennheiser :D
Hey Sony, I have a problem with my UTX-P03 14-25CH. Once in a while, the audio is cut for 2 or 3 sec. I don't think the problem is my receiver because it works well with my lav transmitter. I have change frequency and nothing help. Is there a way I can get the software to update this plug-in transmitter? Thanks.
I am experiencing the SAME problem with my URX-P03D and UTX-30B, pluged in via XLR to my Sony XDCAM PMW-300. Resynced multiple times and audio is cutting in and out as well. Is there an update? I am ready to put mine up for sale too...I paid alot for these and was upsold to the ECM-77BMP lav mics for better sound. Any advice would be grately appreciated. I can send a sample of the "bad" audio if you want to hear it.
I am getting a horrible back hiss from my headphones and it is also been recorded on the audio track of the video too......I have had this same gear perfectly setup and now my A7sii went to servicing and came back and everything is messed up.... I have no idea what it could be.....any ideas you can think? I have tried ATT control, everything for hours now and not getting any different results
I need help with my wireless. It's very muffled, I think my gain may be WAY too high. It's fuzzy and loud sounding. I tried to figure it out in the manual by can't...anyone?
Thank you for the video, can I use two transmitters sending to one reciever? I have the lavalier and the cindencer mic and I want to use them simultaneously, thank you
I'm feeling really screwed right now, I have 3 sets of UWP-D11 block 42 that are now useless due to the FCC Spectrum Reallocation. I found out about this by chance when looking up something about system. 3 systems was quite an investment for me. I'm not some big corporation with money to burn. Is there any way to get my systems updated to work on a new frequency block? Please help, I'm looking for a solution. I hope Sony isn't just going to leave guys like me feeling ripped off.
I have problem with the adapter SMAD P3D. My FS7 always loses connection after a while. But I can't find any solution for that, does anybody else have this issue? And it would be awesome to have a manual online, anywhere.
SMAD P3D is a dual channel adapter. Are you using the dual channel receiver? If you have the single channel receiver, I think you'll need the SMAD P3, not P3D.
We recently bought 2 sets of these for commercial and documentary work (different channel sets) and are having a lot of digital interference when using them on the Sony FS100, FS7 or Zoom H4N. We've tried resyncing them multiple times but have had no luck. The is no hiss, it just sounds like the audio is cutting in and out on both mics. I've been troubleshooting all week and still no solution. Any advice?
+Cool Guys Productions What group and frequencies are your units set to? If you don’t know, watch the following pro.sony.com/bbsc/video/channels-pro_audio/video-sony-proaudiofiles_x . You may have the units set to ‘incompatible’ frequencies. If you continue to have issues, you can contact POSC 800-883-6817.
Did you guys ever figure out the cutting in and out issue? We're having the same issue with ours. It sounds as if there is a compressor or limiter on the audio cutting it in and out below certain levels...
Have you had luck into that issue? I notice my transmitters that have different versions behave differently. Cant get in touch with sony, their support is awful... let me know if you got lucky or have firmware files to share
Andy, wondering if you can provide optimal settings for the URXP03D using a SMAD P3D on my FS5( and a6500 ). I find it has a significant noise floor when connected through the Mi Shoe. It has less (but still some) when directly connected with a cable. Is this normal? Does the FS5 have an autogain circuit? Please advise on best practices. Thanks!
I just purchased a new Sony UTX-P03 (30-36 & 38-41) mic plug transmitter. I read that the new Sony UWP-D series is compatible with the previous UWP -V series. I have a URX-P2 receiver(30-32). However, even though I have both the transmitter set to the same channels (00 3001 566.125) The reciever says "No Tone" on the display. I tried the original UTX-B2 and the reciever (URX-P2) works fine. But I can not get the URX-P2 to work with the UTX-P03. Can you help? Is there something I am not doing or setting right? Or is the UTX-P03 not compatible with the URX-P2?
+Drawn In Media® LLC Please go to the advanced menu in the UTX-P03, and go to the compander menu, and change the setting to UWP (not UWP-D). This should fix it.
"The first (and 100th) time you might try this the menu might time out on you". Sony makes menus unnecessarily convoluted. They really need to improve their game when it comes to simplicity of setup and UI.
These things eat batteries!!! When powered off, they consume 0.43 milliamps which will exhaust them in about a month! Why Sony? This is a bad design!!! Remove the batteries when not in use!!!
Hi, I'm using a new uwp-d16 kit and smad p3 hotshoe adapter with Sony a7s mk2 camera. When using the smad p3 adapter I am experiencing an increased noise floor to an unacceptable and unusable level. Please see the video created by another user experiencing the same issue. ruclips.net/video/tS7tWGS8xTg/видео.html Your thoughts/ feedback or known fixes would be much appreciated as I don't want to return the system to the supplier as it seems like a great setup in other ways. thanks
+Brendan Lines When using the UWP-D11 wireless mic with the SMAD-P3 (MI Shoe) and the A7SmkII camera (and many Alpha range cameras), one must use the batteries that are installed in the UWP-D11. (The SMAD-P3 will do the audio connection, but should not be used as the power source for the wireless receiver). Additionally, one must go to the advanced menu on the UWP-D11, and in the “power sel” menu, tell the receiver to use the ‘internal’ batteries vs. the ‘external’ batteries. This should solve your issue. Hope this helps…
+Sony Professional Solutions Americas Hi There, Thanks for the response, Unfortunately using the internal batteries in the receiver or externally powering it from the hot shoe seems to have no effect on the noise floor. In fact the noise floor is present as soon as you attach the SMAD to the hot shoe even if the receiver is powered off. I have noticed that you cannot control the mic level from the in camera menu once the SMAD-P3 is attached and have to control levels from the receiver itself. I wonder if the in camera mic levels default to a high value or auto gain once the SMAD-P3 is attached? The audio certainly sounds like noisy in camera pre-amps being maxed out? I managed to test the UWP-D16 with SMAD-P3 on an FS7 today, initially the levels were on auto by default when attaching the SMAD-P3 and the noise floor was just as bad. However you can manually control the gain for the hot shoe inputs on the FS7 and once I had done this the noise floor was acceptable. I'm guessing what we need is a firmware update to allow manual control of levels through the hot shoe. You can then keep the in camera mic levels low and ad more gain on the receiver side if need be. what are your thoughts? Thanks Brendan
It's so nice to find a thorough, no nonsense tutorial put out by a manufacturer.

Does the autoset function always choose a frequency / channel that is "legal" to use
