Description
The RTS TR-800 is a two-channel UHF wireless beltpack designed to provide clear, reliable intercom communications in professional event and broadcast environments. It pairs with RTS base stations such as the BTR-800 to deliver dual independent audio channels and user-selectable routing. The unit is built to survive road use while offering intuitive controls and a graphical LCD user interface.
Key features include individual channel volume controls, a graphical LCD interface, stage announce and wireless talk-around functions, and an auto-sensing headset connector that supports both electret and dynamic microphone headsets. The TR-800 uses detachable antennas and an enhanced ClearScan function to improve frequency selection and RF performance. Physical construction uses an all-metal cast magnesium case to ensure mechanical durability on stage or in the field.
Performance specifications include a UHF RF frequency range covering 470-608 MHz and 614-740 MHz in 18 MHz TX/RX bands, a frequency response of 300 Hz to 8 kHz, and RF sensitivity and stability ratings suitable for professional intercom links. The beltpack supports synthesized FM operation with dual conversion superheterodyne architecture and up to 712 user channels. Distortion is specified at less than 1 at full deviation and local headset output is listed at 40 mW.
Connectivity and controls are straightforward with On/Off and volume control, audio channel select button, talk button and talk light, stage announce activation and wireless talk-around (WTA) controls. Antennas are screw-type, replaceable 1/4 wave elements to suit different RF configurations. The unit accepts a user headset via an auto-sensing connector that automatically switches between electret and dynamic microphones.
Typical use cases for the TR-800 include live theatre stage operations, broadcast production intercoms, and event staging where mobile, battery-powered beltpack stations are needed. The compact form factor and robust audio path make it suitable for stage managers, engineers, and production crew who require two independent channels. The all-metal housing and replaceable antennas support demanding deployment cycles and frequent reconfiguration.
Installation and daily use are designed to be simple and reliable with standard 6 AA cell power and optional NiMH rechargeable compatibility for repeated use. The LCD graphical interface and clearly labeled controls reduce training time for crew members. Built-in indicators such as Bat/Overmod and talk lights provide immediate status feedback during operation.
