5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! My best tech decision, EVER! September 2, 2010

I speak several times a month in hotel meeting rooms, all over the US and abroad. I used to pay a couple of hundred dollars per day to rent similar mics (usually the SHURE brand) from the AV folks contracted by the hotel - buying my own mic/reciever is the best technology decision of my speaking career!! I'm writing this review two years after buying the product, and they are still going strong. They are amazing, excellent sound quality, I can speak 6 hours on one set of batteries, have never had the slightest problem with channels or tuning (I'm a novice and would be in trouble), and interestingly, many of the AV guys in the hotels (who still set me up to house sound patches) are awed by these SONY marvels (having never seen them before), especially because the receiver is so small, a fraction of what they typically use (they just have to plug it into the wall or a mixer). One Canadian AV guy jokingly threatened to steal my set if I didn't watch them carefully. I cannot recommend highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent wireless lav and at a great price March 18, 2009

My UWPV1 arrived yesterday, and I'm thrilled with it. The audio is crystal clear - no static at all, and has good dynamic range. The transmitter and receiver are both extremely solid and fell like they'll take a beating. I let my camera roll while I walked around the house with the mic, and the signal remained solid even when it had to go thru multiple walls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and Dependable November 13, 2010

I run a small videography business and I needed a dependable wireless lapel microphone.

I have used this wireless system on several location shoots and it never fails to produce crisp clear results every single time. Battery life is about 8-10 hours on continuous use. This unit doesn't eat batteries. However, I do recommend using nothing other than Duracell AA batteries. I have found that no other battery our performs Duracell.

This wireless system is worth every penny I spent on it. It is extremely easy to use. The instructions that come with it are a little difficult to understand but there are only a few settings for this microphone and receiver. The buttons are user friendly and the menus are easy to navigate. Like I said, there are only a few customizable settings: volume and channel are pretty much it.

I highly recommend this wireless lapel unit for video or live sound applications.
