Description
The RTS Dual-Channel Universal Beltpack with A5F headset jack is a compact partyline intercom beltpack designed to provide reliable two-channel communication in professional AV and broadcast environments. It automatically detects wiring schemes and configures itself for RTS, Audiocom or Clear-Com formats to simplify mixed-system deployments. The unit supports common dynamic and electret headsets via selectable XLR configurations.
Key features include auto-wiring detection, intelligent power management, an enhanced talk button, remote microphone kill and voice-guided menu navigation – all aimed at improving operator efficiency and reducing setup time. The beltpack supports 4-pin or 5-pin XLR headset connectors to accommodate a wide range of headset types. Visual feedback is provided by a blinking incoming call lamp to assist users in noisy environments.
On the technical side the beltpack uses intelligent power management that reduces power consumption and allows up to 40 daisy-chained beltpacks to be powered from a single PS-20 power supply. A current pump circuit constantly monitors cable length versus current consumption to ensure stable voltage delivery across the partyline. The enhanced talk button offers selectable modes: always on, always off or switching, for flexible mic behavior.
Connectivity and compatibility are broad: the beltpack auto-detects wiring schemes and configures for RTS, Audiocom or Clear-Com formats upon plug-in. Headset connectivity supports 4-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors and both dynamic and electret microphones. Control and user interaction are simplified through short voice prompts and easily accessible menu options, enabling quick factory resets without internal jumper adjustments.
Typical applications include live sound production, broadcast studios, theatrical stage communications and event production where dependable partyline intercom is needed. The remote kill function permits immediate silencing of all beltpacks on the partyline when an open microphone is detected, reducing on-air noise and interruptions. Override capability ensures critical communication can be restored by authorized users.
Installation is straightforward due to auto-wiring detection and voice-guided setup prompts that eliminate manual jumper configuration. The mechanical design prioritizes durability and user ergonomics for belt-mounted operation under demanding conditions. The system-level power efficiency reduces infrastructure needs by enabling many beltpacks to share a single PS-20 supply, lowering cabling and power complexity.
