Sony UWP-V ENG vs. Sony UWP-V1 Wireless
Does anyone have any experience with either of these wireless microphone systems. I need something that has a good range. I have previously used the Sennheiser Evolution series and have been satisfied but the antennae are not as tough as I would like being in the field all of the time. I really need to know what the effective working range of these two would be and if the ENG is worth spending the extra 800.00.
Thanks in Advance. |

Tommy, I have these and I think they are better than the sennheiser G2. Sony UWP-V1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone Package UWP-V1/3032 B&H
The rang is really good. I can go out side and still pick up the feed.I think you will be very happy with them. Dan |

Dan, Have you had any problems with the mics? I am shooting outdoors 95% of the time and it can get rough in the field. Thanks

The mics have a great sound and are pretty sturdy. I would get a dead cat for out door work, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/637551-REG/Pearstone_9071830_9071830_Fuzzy_Windjammer.html
The only complaint is the tie holder. I would get http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/688786-REG/Pearstone_8101150_2_Lav_Mic_Tie_Clips.html clamps for the mics. I think the system is a great value and they are true diversity. Dan |
I have the Sony UWP V1 with lapel and XLR plug in module. I think it is a great system. I also have the Sennheiser G3 ENG with lapel and XLR plug in. I give the Sennheiser a slight edge in quality and it is more compact but the Sony has a great build quality (very sturdy) and for the money is a great deal.

There was an interesting discussion about the UWP-V1 here
http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/all-thin...ennheiser.html If you'll have a definite need for the plug on transmitter, the Sony UTX-P1 in the UWP-V6 package is the way to go. It trumps the Sennheiser in mW output. 50mW Sony UTX-P1 Sony Product Detail Page UTXP1/3032 30mW Sennheiser SKP 100 Sennheiser USA - Wired Microphone / Wireless Microphone - Plug OnTransmitter SKP 100 G3 - Professional Audio I was shocked at how far I could go with the Sony UTX. I don't have the footage online, but I could dig it up if you want to see and hear 400'+. It's way better to buy the plug-on transmitter in the package, as later it becomes 2 times the price when purchased by itself. Some have said the Sony doesn't sound as good due to compander artifacts. Plugged into my Panasonic HPX500 full sized broadcast camera, the bodypack transmitter and receiver in the UWP V1 sounded clear at over 200' (the yellow line on the ground in the video below is a tape measure).

Guy ( or other),
Do you know if it,s possible to poser the SONY V1 receiver using external power sources like a D-Tap from my AB battery? |

Thanks Guy,
It's a shame since beside this, the Sony system seems to be very cool. I guess I will have to go with the AT 1800. |
