J o h n G a r re t t C A S The Lectrosonics SMWB Miniature Wideband Transmitter (three blocks) is out. It makes a backup recording to micro SD along the way. It works with the Digital Hybrid receivers and is also backward compatible with some of their 200 and 100 series, as well as others. Tascam is selling the Studiomaster DigiLIVE in a few varia- tions. One being a 12-mic pre 16-channel mixer that runs on 12V DC for under $1K. They also were showing their SS-R250N and SS-CDR250N two-channel networked recorder/players.
