More details from Lectrosonics (www.lectrosonics.com):
The DSSM is a finalist in the category of Wireless Technology. TEC Awards voting is open to both industry professionals as well as the public. Vote for the DSSM in the 2025 TEC Awards Here.
The DSSM is Lectrosonics miniature, water-resistant digital bodypack transmitter with IP (Ingress Protection) rating of 57. The DSSM is the smallest transmitter with an IP57 rating and a removeable battery, and represents the state of the art in miniature, watertight transmitter design. The DSSM is sold individually as well as in ZS kits with a USB battery charger.
The DSSM transmitter includes the following key features:
- All-metal construction.
- Removeable antenna with SMA mount.
- Standard miniature 3-pin locking connector.
- IP57 (Ingress Protection) rating: the DSSM is protected from dust and prevents water ingress for at least 30 minutes while immersed in water up to 1 Meter.
- Removeable battery: The DSSM uses the Lectrosonics LB-50 rechargeable LiOn battery (PN#40106-1) from the IFBR1B and SSM product lines. This means that existing charging bays like the CHS12LB50, CHS12LB50a, and 40117 dual USB charger can be used with this new transmitter.
- Easy-to-use onboard buttons and rich display, with the same menu structure as our venerable DBSM family transmitters.
- USB jack located inside the battery compartment for firmware updates in the field, using Wireless Designer software.
- Drop-in charging with the optional CHSDSSM charging bay. This bay charges 4 units or batteries and can be connected to additional units so that up to 16 batteries or units in any combination can be charged from a single DCR5/9AU power supply (just like for the similar CHSIFBR1B).
- RF Power settings at 10, 25, and 50 mWin D2 mode and 4 mW for HDM (high density) mode.
- AES 256-bit CTR encryption with four key policies including Universal, Shared, Standard, and Volatile, for a wide variety of use cases including government, corporate, & sports coverage.
- Compatible with DSQD, DCHR, M2Ra, DSR, DSR4, and DCR822 receivers.
The DSSM is sold individually with antennas, reversable belt clip, battery, and zippered pouch. The DSSM is also sold in “ZS” kits with the dual-battery USB charger (PN#40117).
The companion CHSDSSM 4-bay charging dock can be used with any variant of the DSSM. This bay charges any mix of 4 units and/or LB-50 batteries and can be connected to 3 additional bays so that up to 16 batteries or units in any combination can be charged from a single DCR5/9AU power supply. This charger requires the DCR5/9AU power supply (not included).
The NAMM TEC Awards will take place during the NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center on January 23, 2025.
