Lectrosonics NAB 2026 Updates: DSSM Transmitter and DSR Receiver Improvements
Lectrosonics has announced a series of updates to its D-Squared digital wireless lineup, focusing on performance improvements for both transmitters and receivers. These updates are aimed at professional users in film, broadcast, and theater environments where reliability and audio quality are critical.
The DSSM waterproof sub-miniature transmitter now features improved power efficiency, delivering over 10% more battery life. This extends operation time to more than 7 hours, which can be useful in long production scenarios. The unit maintains its compact form factor and IP57 waterproof rating, making it suitable for demanding environments where durability and size are key considerations.
On the receiver side, the DSR dual-channel and DSR4 four-channel digital slot receivers have been updated with revised internal circuitry and case modifications. These changes improve sensitivity and reduce self-noise, contributing to more stable RF performance and cleaner audio capture. The receivers continue to support multiple operating modes, allowing compatibility with Digital Hybrid transmitters while also supporting fully digital workflows.
These updates retain the existing form factors and usability of the original products, ensuring continuity for current users while offering measurable technical improvements. The updated versions are already shipping, and existing users can contact Lectrosonics support for upgrade options.
Overall, these revisions focus on extending battery performance, refining RF behavior, and maintaining system flexibility across different production setups.
