Earlier today, Lectrosonics announced the new DCHR miniature, stereo digital receiver! It looks familiar because it is in the same lineup as the DCHT stereo digital transmitter. The DCHR is aimed at production sound, sports video production, reality TV, and anywhere a wireless stereo camera hop or a super-compact digital receiver is needed. Regardless of the application, the Lectrosonics DCHR is definitely an incredible transmitter in a very tight form factor.
