Description
The BTR-80N is a 2-channel UHF wireless intercom base station designed to provide reliable crew communications in congested UHF environments. It supports up to four full-duplex beltpacks simultaneously and includes a talk/listen headset station at the base. The unit is frequency-agile and includes factory preset groups for simplified deployment.
Key features include Enhanced ClearScan frequency selection, combination tone code and RF noise squelch, DSP digital audio processing, and a transparent menu-driven graphical interface with a backlit LCD. The base station implements wireless talk-around (ISO) and a stage announce output with relay closure. A front panel headset connector auto-detects dynamic or electret boom microphones for immediate use.
Technical performance highlights include narrowband modulation with 25kHz modulated bandwidth and independent 18 MHz band organization to maximize channel availability. The provided frequency ranges for this variant are 554-572 MHz transmit and 650-668 MHz receive. The unit offers an adjustable transmit power level and an operating range rated to approximately 1000 ft under typical conditions.
Connectivity options include dedicated 2-wire XLE and 4-wire RJ-11 connectors for wired intercom integration, XLR balanced auxiliary audio input and output, and a full-function headset station with dedicated headset and boom mic volume and gain controls. Compatibility extends to Audiocom, Clear-Com, and RTS/RTS matrix wired and wireless systems. Dual voltage power supply supports international operation.
The BTR-80N is suited to broadcast, live event, theatre, and production environments where reliable wireless intercom coverage and frequency management are required. It provides controlled channel access for multiple beltpacks and a dedicated headset station for a fifth user such as a director, producer, or engineer. Enhanced ClearScan ranks available frequencies to minimize interference and intermodulation issues in crowded RF conditions.
Installation and operation are simplified by the large backlit display and transparent menu-driven GUI, front panel enable/disable buttons with LED status indicators, and factory preset frequency groups. The chassis and controls are designed for professional use with expandability for additional beltpacks as needed. Overall, the BTR-80N delivers integrated wireless intercom functionality with precise frequency management and professional connectivity options.
