LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lectrosonics, Inc. received the first annual Technical Achievement award from the Cinema Audio Society (C.A.S.) at their awards banquet on Saturday, February 19th.
The annual event, held this year in the Crystal Ballroom at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, featured awards in several sound mixing categories, along with the new Technical Achievement category.
A committee was formed of C.A.S. board members John Coffey, Robert Gravenor,
and James Coburn IV to establish criteria and guidelines, and finally to
research and submit the entries for the Technical Achievement Award. Coffey
announced, "This award is long overdue because the manufacturers work
together with us to make our professional efforts better all the time."
Manufacturers were encouraged to nominate products that have been released
within the previous two years and have had a positive impact on the film
production community. Lectrosonics submitted their Digital Hybrid
Wireless(tm) 400 series, including the well-known UM400 beltpack transmitter, UCR411A camera mount receiver and MM400A water-resistant
miniature transmitter.
According to Gordon Moore, vice president of sales at Lectrosonics, "This
award honors not only the products but the film community as a whole. As they
strive for higher production quality, CAS members have pushed us to increase
the performance of our wireless systems through their ideas, input and support."
Since its formation in 1971, Lectrosonics has grown to become a premier firm
specializing in the design and creation of professional audio technologies.
Alongside creating audio processing gear such as the DM Series, Lectrosonics
is a leading innovator of wireless audio technology with many professionals
as ardent fans within the broadcasting, motion picture, and television
industries.
