Features
True diversity reception
UWP-D features a true diversity system, using two antennas for highly stable reception. RF signals from both antennas are compared, and the stronger signal automatically selected.
Auto gain mode volume control
Ideal when you don’t know the level of the speaker’s voice, auto gain mode boosts volume while using a limiter to reduce the risk of distortion.

Volume boost for off-mic audio
Ideal for interviews, volume boost adds +15 dB gain, increasing sound levels when your subject is further away from the microphone.

The receiver draws power directly from the camera that also controls receiver ON/OFF for simplified power management.
Using the SMAD-P5 supports the digital audio interface of the URX-P40, delivering high sound quality with low noise by direct digital audio recording. It also achieves advanced integration with the camcorders, showing audio information in the viewfinder for enhanced usability in the field.
*Please note the SMAD-P5 can only be used with URX-P40. SMAD-P3 can only be used with URX-P03 and SMAD-P3D can only be used with URX-P03D
