Partyline: Simple party-line intercom system diagram
Question: Hello. I was thinking of buying an intercom system for the theater I workat. I have no experience with intercoms except actually wearing a clear combeltpack and using it. My goal is to use the RS-601and RS-602 party-line wired beltpacks to connect, at least, our lighting board operator, sound boardoperator, and stage manager. This would mean wiring 1 headset into ourtech booth and 1 headset backstage. What pieces of equipment would I haveto buy from clearcom to accomplish this and/or how to wire it all together.Also would it be easier to go wireless or wired? What is the cheapest? CanI use any other belt packs or main stations(?) to make this cheaper?
Answer: See the diagram below for a simple 2 channel party-line system that incorporates the lighting board, sound board, stage manager, tech booth and back stage areas. It would be far less expense to go the wired route, for example a 2-channel wired beltpack costs approximately $400 per user station, a wireless 2 channel beltpack costs approximately $1600 per user station. Similar cost differences exist between wired base station vs wireless base station (wired - $1100, wireless - $5200).
If you have existing older Clear-Com party-line components they can be incorporated with Encore Party-line product to save on cost.
