The new d:screet Slim 4060 & d:screet Slim 4061 mics are designed to keep an even lower profile than the 4060 or 61 and feature DPA's award-winning omnidirectional capsule element in a flat head with a slender cable, giving you the same high-quality sound from an even smaller microphone. www.DPAmicrophones.com/accessories/concealer-for-dscreet-slim-4060-4061 Lectrosonics: Duet Wireless Monitor System The new system consists of the M2T dual-stereo half-rack transmitter and M2R diversity belt pack receiver. The Duet covers the UHF frequencies of 470 MHz-608 MHz in a single range, uses digital modulation for transmission and can accept analog or Dante digital inputs. The input preamp circuits use a special balanced amplifier with very high common mode rejection to minimize hum and noise. A Dante Ultimo™ interface via dual RJ45 connectors accepts Dante networked audio inputs and can cascade the digital stream to additional units via CAT6 cables. An additional RJ45 jack provides an Ethernet connection for programming and control via Wireless Designer™ software and a USB jack on the front panel allows for firmware updates. The M2R bodypack receiver employs advanced antenna diversity switching during digital packet headers for seamless audio with 250 mW available to drive headphones or earphones. Both the M2R and M2T units have two-way IR sync, so scan data from the receiver can be sent to the transmitter and thus onto the Ethernet network for use by Wireless Designer™ software for frequency planning and coordination purposes. The system also includes a FlexList™ mode, where a number of names and associated frequencies can be stored in the receiver. www.Lectrosonics.com/US/IEM/category.html Sonosax: SX-R4+ The Sonosax SX-R4+ is a compact 16-track recorder with built-in timecode generator that supports up to 192 kHz.

Ultra miniature lightweight design and low-heat output make the ZMT3 a favorite with both actors and costume departments. The ZMT3-Phantom boom pole transmitter includes a 12V/48V phantom power supply eliminating the need for a cable in the pole. This makes the boom pole lighter and prevents cable noise inherent in boom pole operation. Key features include NeverClip compressor distortion elimination, internal recording with wire- less timecode reference, digital audio modulation with no transmission artifacts, Zaxcom High Density (ZHD) spectrum efficient modulation, Zaxnet RF remote control, six-hour battery life, and Inter-modulation free operation.
