Sony Introduces WRT-807A Wireless Performance
Microphone
 July 26, 1999Sony Electronics announced today that the WRT-807A, a dynamic hand-held
UHF microphone, is joining its family of wireless microphones. Designed
specifically for vocal performance, the sleek, solid and comfortable WRT-807A
brings all of Sony's wireless experience to a very affordable level for
the touring professional.
Compatible with all 800 MHz-range Sony wireless receivers and incorporating
the same reliable RF performance, the WRT-807A features a 10mW output
transmitter stage; 94 PLL-synthesized UHF frequencies; rugged, all-metal
construction; an informative LCD display; and a locking on/off switch.
On a single "AA" alkaline battery, the WRT-807A provides five
hours of continuous, full-power operation, with the use of a converter
circuit, which reduces battery ramped-down performance.
The WRT-807A utilizes the same Sony F-780/9X, high-quality, dynamic element
used in broadcast and on major tours, for optimum sound quality and superior
resistance to feedback and handling noise.
"The WRT-807A offers a level of performance and reliability previously
unavailable at this price point," said Paul Foschino, marketing manager
of professional audio products for Sony Electronics' Broadcast and Professional
Company. "This addition to Sony's wireless range demonstrates our
ongoing commitment to wireless technology at all levels and for all applications.
We wanted to introduce a model which we could comfortably position between
our low-cost and our high-end, handheld models. We believe we've done
that by adding this offering to our growing family of UHF wireless products.
The durable design of the 807A supports the rigorous physical and sonic
needs of live performers from opera to head banging rock 'n roll."
The WRT-807A is scheduled to be available in September at a suggested
list price of $799 For more information,
