Lectrosonics, Inc. received the first annual Technical Achievement award from the Cinema Audio Society (C.A.S.) at their awards banquet on Saturday, February 19. 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
. 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 400 series, including the well-known UM400 beltpack transmitter, UCR411A camera mount receiver and MM400A water-resistant miniature transmitter.
Since its formation in 1971, Lectrosonics has become a firm specializing in the design and creation of professional audio technologies.
