JuicedLink DAR123 Little DARling Distributed Audio Recorder

A great alternative to using wireless lav mic transmitter/receivers, the Little DARling Distributed Audio Recorder overcomes limitations in wireless range and dropouts. Additionally, the DAR system enables the use many more lavs simultaneously, because you will not need to figure out how to mount multiple receivers (3, 6, 8 or even more!) to your camera rig. This opens up new creative possibilities for events. Sprinkle the DARs around ... one for each member of the wedding party ... and beyond.
