Sony Professional UTX-M40 Main Features

• Digital Audio Processing for high-quality sound: Advanced digital audio processing technology by Sony assures high-quality sound with improved transient response performance. A new [optional] digital audio interface enables direct digital sound recording with many Sony professional camcorders and Alpha interchangeable lens cameras via the SMAD-P5 Multi Interface MI shoe adaptor, bypassing A/D and D/A conversion stages to further ensure excellent sound quality.
• Fast, easy frequency setting: Sony’s uniquely user-friendly NFC SYNC feature allows quick, intuitive secure channel setting between transmitter and receiver.
  
• Light, compact design: 
  Reduced system size and weight enable superior mobility in a wide range of applications including news, documentaries, weddings, and remote production. The receiver’s compact size and light-weight make it an ideal partner for using small camcorders and interchangeable-lens digital cameras.
