The L1 lavalier microphone, based on a waterproof miniature MEMS capsule, claiming an 11 dB noise floor and 134 dB max SPL. It comes with a pair of EQ capsules. The one I saw was being continually dunked—with a transmitter— into a tank by a robot arm… The new S1 short shotgun mic looks nice. At 8.4 inches, under three ounces, and Lectro's quality reputation, it will find a home in many a sound kit. Built with RF biasing and draws less than 2mA… The digital plug-on transmitters now have internal antennas and a revamped XLR locking mechanism that can be retrofitted to any of their plug-on transmitters. The IFBT2.0 dual-channel IFB transmitter takes analog, AES, Dante, and wet intercom inputs, and connects to Wireless Designer for setup and coordination. Improved RF output stages reduce intermod from strong adjacent signals, too. Canare has a series of half-rack connection bays that I haven't seen before. This could come in handy where space is at a premium—such as on production carts! Glensound has some cool new kit items. The Dark 22M has two independent channel-networked mic pres with line, USB, and Dante bidirectional connections. POE or USB-C powered, with dual RJ45 and SFP connectors. It can be locally controlled or via UDP controllers on the network. Featuring great mic pres and extensive processing options, LECTROSONICS IFBT2 CANARE HALF RACK GLENSOUND DARK 22M
