Clear-Com Solutions For:

Theatres and Performance Centers

From the performances in London to plays in California, USA to the operas in China, Clear-Com intercom systems have graced the stage of thousands of performance halls around the world. Our iconic Encore Analog Partyline system delivers basic, reliable and proven intercom for production houses, while the HelixNet Digital Partyline system is more scalable, offers higher audio performance over IP, greater user control and more I/O ports via LQ Series. Eclipse HX digital matrix would offer the highest level of intercom channels, user configurability and functional expandability. For mobility, the DX410 and FreeSpeak II wireless intercoms, or Agent-IC mobile app could be integrated with the wired system.

Corporate Events

Corporate events often include stage presentations, involving several spokespersons who act like talents. Like live stage performances, there is the dependence on effective intercom to quickly and efficiently coordinate production staff to ensure everything is working smoothly. Clear-Com’s HelixNet Digital Partyline Intercom provides reliable group communications functionality and flexible setup that you require with an IP-based digital infrastructure. With so many moving parts both on- and off-stage, untethered mobility is necessary for certain production roles. Our DX410 or FreeSpeak II offers the best sound and performance in wireless intercom solutions.

Ceremonies and Award Shows

With hundreds of performers and guests and possibly millions more internet or television viewers, communication among production crew at these high-profile ceremonies and award shows becomes that much more critical. With so much at stake, you need to use with the best scalable intercom option for the job. Eclipse- HX with integrated FreeSpeak II, consisting of 2.4GHz and 1.9GHz frequency options in one system, has time and again proven itself to event production teams around the world. Its reliable RF connection and overall superior performance has made it the go-to system for live production communication. Consider adding stadium-wide audio, video and intercom transport through ProGrid and the MUX-22 series. If you need 2-way walkie-talkie integration for the event-wide security and hosting teams, then Gateway can interface these with the production intercom.
