Description
The TR-82N-FE is a two-channel Narrow Band UHF beltpack designed to pair with the BTR-80N receiver – it provides reliable wireless intercom for live production and broadcast teams. This compact user station offers dual-listen capability so operators can hear separate channels in each ear. The unit is built to operate in rigorous environments and supports standard AA battery power for flexible field use.
Key user controls include an On/Off and volume control, a dedicated talk button and a visible talk light – these controls give fast tactile access during live events. The beltpack includes a receiver RF meter and a Low Battery/Overmodulation (BAT/OM) indicator to help maintain signal integrity and prevent audio clipping. Additional features such as Stage Announce (SA) and Wireless Talk Around (WTA) expand operational flexibility on complex multisystem stages.
Technically the TR-82N-FE is a frequency-agile UHF device operating in the FE band and offering two independent channels for simultaneous monitoring. It uses an LCD graphical user interface to present status information and supports enhanced ClearScan to simplify channel selection. Power is provided by six AA cells, with NiMH batteries supported as an optional replacement for alkaline cells, and it is rated to operate between -20°C and 55°C.
Connectivity includes detachable antennas for improved RF handling and an auto-sensing headset connector that switches automatically between electret and dynamic headset microphones. The beltpack provides binaural operation so users can listen to Tech in one ear and Production in the other with individual volume controls for each side. It is intended for seamless compatibility with RTS BTR-80N base stations and integrates into existing RTS intercom workflows.
Typical applications include theatrical stage management, broadcast event production, and live sound coordination where discrete communication channels and dependable RF performance are required. The TR-82N-FE supports stage announce and wireless talk-around features that simplify complex communications during load-ins and broadcasts. Its dual-listen and individual level controls improve operator efficiency and situational awareness in noisy environments.
Installation and day-to-day use are straightforward – the beltpack’s cast magnesium case provides durable protection while keeping weight low for long shifts. The LCD GUI and labeled controls reduce setup time and training requirements, and detachable antennas plus battery-powered operation make the unit easy to deploy in temporary or remote locations. Overall the TR-82N-FE delivers practical intercom functionality and professional-grade construction for production environments.
