a staple of broadcast, theatre and
industrial workflows, creating a need
for seamless integration into modern
Dante applications, " says

Riedel's Bolero 2.4 Beltpack & Antenna
Riedel Communications' Bolero
2.4 GHz operates on the 2.4 GHz
band Instead of Bolero's standard
DECT band. The 2.4 GHz iteration
is intended for use in regions
where DECT carrier frequencies
are either limited or unavailable,
such as China, India and South
Korea. Bolero 2.4 GHz has a feature
set which is practically identical to
the DECT version, including the same
three network modes: Integrated,
Standalone Link
and
Standalone
2110 (AES67). The 2.4 GHz band
limits use to eight beltpacks per
antenna instead of 10 but allows
connectivity anywhere with just one
'global' region for 2.4 GHz antennas.
" Having won both the DECT Award
and Red Dot Award, the Bolero
system has shown itself to be highly
intelligible, efficient and resistant to
multipath reflections " says Senior
Product Manager Wolfgang Fritz.
" Now, compared with other 2.4 GHz
wireless intercoms, Bolero 2.4 GHz
has double the operational
range
and supports more than twice the
number of belt packs per antenna.
" The 2.4 GHz iteration comes with

Bolero's high clarity
and its unrivalled multipath tolerant
receiver technology
adapted

2.4 GHz, allowing the system to
continuously adapt to changing RF
reflection environments. With nearfield

Bolero 2.4 GHz is just as easy to use,
sleek, and versatile. "

is
available in desktop, flush-mount
and wall-mount versions. The
DSPK4 has a full-colour TFT display
and an icon-based menu interface
which allow local configuration to
match customer preferences. RTS
has also introduced a feature set

Studio Technologies' 545DC
and 545DR intercom interfaces
Studio Technologies' 545DC and 545DR
compatible with Clear-Com's singlechannel
analog party-line products.
The 545DR offers a two-channel
interface and works
directly with
the RTS TW-series of two-channel
analog intercom circuits. Both can
interconnect with Dante-supported
devices
such as matrix
intercom
systems, digital audio processors
and audio consoles. The interfaces
are also compatible with
Studio
Technologies' line of Dante-enabled
user beltpack, intercom station, and
intercom audio engine products.
The 545DC is designed for use with

which use
one
3-conductor cable to provide power
and one channel of intercom audio.
The audio path also includes a DCbased
call function that the 545DC
directly supports. The 545DR is
intended for use in applications,
typically
broadcast, that

voice audio and
are supported by the 545DR. Each
interface is capable of providing DC
power, allowing direct
connection
of a limited number of analog partyline
user devices. The 545DC and
545DR can be powered via PoE or an
external 12 volt DC source. Standard
three-conductor XLR connectors
allow the analog party-line intercom
circuits to be directly interconnected.
Both units are housed in half-rack
aluminum
enclosures
and
are
intended for desk or tabletop use.
Optional mounting kits allow one or
two units to be installed in 1U of a
standard 19-inch rack enclosure. A
PoE Ethernet connection is all that
is required to make the 545DC and
