Encrypted transmissions Features AES 256-bit encryption allows for highly secure wireless transmissions. The DWT-P30 is a digital wireless transmitter for a UHF synthesized wireless microphone system to be used for broadcast or movie production purpose. This transmitter is suitable for Electronic News Gathering (ENG), Electronic Field Production (EFP), and Location Sound.
To connect a microphone or a cable Tighten the connector ring firmly to prevent the microphone and cable from rattling when in use. Parts Identification Microphone or a cable (optional) Front Turn the connector ring clockwise (1) and insert the microphone or cable connector into the audio input connector until it is fully engaged (2). Then turn the connector ring counterclockwise to secure the latch (3).
For information about updating, visit the following website. https://pro.sony/ (search for DWT-P30 on the website) C Audio input level meter Indicates the input signal level. D Reference level gauge Indicates the reference input level. When the attenuation is 0 dB with INPUT LEVEL set to MIC, –58 dBu (–60 dBV) is indicated. When LINE is selected for INPUT LEVEL, +4 dBu is indicated. i POWER switch Turns the transmitter ON or OFF. j Battery compartment Accommodates two LR6 (size AA) batteries.
Power Supply • The transmitter can operate on two LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries continuously for about 6 hours at 25 °C (77 °F). Connecting a mobile battery to the USB connector enables operation for a long period of time. • Installing the batteries • 1 • Squeeze the battery-holder tabs inward (in the direction of the arrows) and slide out the battery holder. • are used.
Setting the Transmission Channel The transmitter provides groups of interference-free channels. When using multiple microphones and transmitters at the same time (simultaneous multi-channel operations) within the same area, selecting the same group and using a channel within that group can prevent signal interference. To set the transmission channel on the transmitter, first you select the group and channel using the RF indicator and scanning functions on the receiver.
goes up, RF REMOTE turns on, and the remote control function becomes operative. Using Cross Remote To use the Cross Remote with a previous pairing This transmitter is equipped with a wireless remote control function that can be used to set the parameters (low-cut filter, attenuation operation, power save mode, etc.) of the transmitter through the receiver or other devices. This function makes it easier to operate and manage the microphone system while in the field. This wireless control is 2.
3 Using the Encrypted Transmission Function On the receiver side, select REMOTE (wireless remote) as the encryption key exchange method, and perform encryption key exchange. REMOTE cannot be selected when the wireless remote control function is disabled. The unit is capable of transmitting encrypted signals to prevent unwanted surveillance. To use the function, select one of the following encryption modes.
Basic Menu Operations Setting Menus The functions and parameters of the settings menu are explained here. Underlined items are the factory setting. Function name Unit name setting (NAME) You can specify a transmitter name of up to 16 characters. The factory setting for the transmitter name is the model name and serial number. The transmitter name is sent to the receiver as metadata and is used by the receiver to distinguish between different transmitters.
Selecting the group/channel (GP/CH) Lock function (LOCK) See “Carrier Frequencies and Channel Steps” (page 20) for factory settings. Lock and prevent operations such as those for the POWER button and for settings changes. This prevents you from accidentally turning the unit off, for example. For details, see “Selecting the group/channel” (page 7). For details on wireless remote control function, see “Using Cross Remote” (page 8).
For details on wireless remote control function, see “Using Cross Remote” (page 8). Audio codec mode setting (CODEC MODE) Setting the battery type (BATTERY MODE1: Audio codec mode that is compatible with first generation DWX-series devices. MODE2: Audio codec mode that prioritizes short delay times while maintaining transmission stability and high audio quality. MODE3: Audio codec mode that uses additional signal processing to suppress noise caused by unexpected pulse interference.
For details, see “Using Cross Remote” (page 8). Notes OFF: Power is not supplied to the connected microphone. ON: Power is supplied to the connected microphone. • The setting for this function cannot be changed during actual signal transmission. To change the setting, turn off the transmitter first. Then, while holding down the SET button, turn the power on. And then, change the setting after the signal transmission has stopped.
To reset the accumulated time indication 1 Hold down the SET button until the time indication flashes. 2 Press the – button so “00:00 RESET” appears, and then press the SET button. • BRIGHTNESS (display brightness) setting • DIMMER MODE (automatic display dimmer) setting • POWER PRIORITY (power source priority) setting When you execute LOAD, the saved setting values will be loaded. Notes Using wireless remote control, this function can be controlled from the receiver and other devices.
Notes • The setting for this function cannot be changed during actual signal transmission. To change the setting, turn off the power first. Then while holding down the SET button, turn the power on. Then change the setting after the signal transmission has stopped. • To start signal transmission with the factory parameter settings, turn off the power and then turn it on again.

Troubleshooting If you encounter a problem using this transmitter, use the following checklist to find a solution. For any problems with the receiver or adapter, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the respective device. If the problem persists, consult your Sony dealer. Symptom Meanings Remedy The transmitter does not The batteries are inserted backwards in the turn on. battery compartment. Reinsert the batteries with the correct orientation (see page 6). The batteries are exhausted.
• When only digital wireless microphones are being used, keep the transmitter at least 4 meters (13 feet) away from the antenna of a receiver for up to 10 channels, and at least 6 meters (20 feet) away for 11 or more channels. • When a mixture of digital and analog wireless microphones is being used, keep the transmitter at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from the antenna of a receiver.
