Sony DWX Gen 4: 32-bit Float Backup, 1.1ms Latency, and Lower Costs
Sony has detailed its fourth-generation DWX wireless microphone system, featuring the DWT-B40 bodypack transmitter and DWR-R40Q four-channel receiver. The new system introduces onboard 32-bit float recording to microSD cards, reducing latency to 1.1ms and cutting costs by approximately 30% compared to previous multi-receiver setups. Expected to launch in early 2027, the system maintains backward compatibility with existing DWX hardware while expanding into broader professional AV markets.
