The DSSM digital bodypack transmitter is the latest in the incredibly successful SM series of miniature transmitters. DSSM is part of the Lectrosonic digital ecosystem that includes D-Squared (DSQD), DCR822, DSR, DSR4, DCHR/DCHT and Duet.
DSSM comes in the A1 and B1 bands ranging from 470-614MHz in the E01 version. The new transmitter has new high efficiency circuitry and can operate up to 6h on its LB50 battery. The transmitter can transmit with 2 (HDM) 10.35mW transmit power.
According to Lectrosonic's tests, 50mW with their digital transmission is equivalent to 125mW with an analog system. In addition, a new high density mode (HDM) allows 200kHz between channels, which means twice as many channels in the same spectrum. HDM transmits at 2mW, so this mode is best suited for systems that have the possibility of external antennas and RF gain structure, such as theater.
