Product Description Left

Wireless 

FreeSpeak II Base Station supports the FreeSpeak II family of wireless intercom, including 1.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands which can be concurrently deployed on an FreeSpeak II Base Station system. FreeSpeak antenna transceivers, connected via E1 CAT/Fiber plug and play cable connections can be modularly added for coverage and capacity of beltpacks which can roam between overlapping transceivers. FreeSpeak beltpacks can have their keys assigned to any Channel, Group or Interface Port on the system. 

 

Partyline, Analog Audio & Control - Interfacing 

FreeSpeak II Base Station can interface to a variety of 3rd party audio and intercom systems with audio interface ports assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak Beltpack and FreeSpeak II Base Station keyset on the system: 

  • 4-Wire provides the ability to connect analog line-level audio inputs and outputs to FreeSpeak II Base Station. 

  • 2-Wire Partyline allows interfacing to existing analog partyline intercom system infrastructures or to add Partyline user stations or interfaces using FreeSpeak II Base Station’s built in power supply. 

  • Program Audio Input provides a line level analog audio input, on an XLR connection, with assignability to any keyset or channel. 

  • Stage Announce Output a line level analog audio output, on a XLR connection with assignability to any keyset or channel. 

  • GPIO provides Inputs and Relay Outputs for system control. Inputs allow activation of audio crosspoints while Outputs can be activated upon key presses, audio crosspoints and or call signals configurable in FreeSpeak II Base Station’s Logic Event configurator. 

Product Description Right

Intercom User Station 

FreeSpeak II Base Station’s front panel user station provides four keysets assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak beltpack, Program Audio or Stage Announce on the FreeSpeak II Base Station system. The user station is provisioned with a headset connection in addition to All Call, Stage Announce and Remote Mic Kill. 

 

System Configuration & Monitoring 

FreeSpeak II Base Station front panel menus provide the ability to configure system configuration using an interface consisting of high contrast screens coupled with tactile rotary encoders and buttons. With the front panel, the status and utilization of all transceivers and beltpacks can be monitored. FreeSpeak II Base Station’s Core Configuration Manager™ (CCM) is an integrated, browser-based configuration utility enabling rapid setup, configuration and monitoring of the system. 

 

Scalability  

FreeSpeak II Base Station is available for 5 or 25 beltpack system with a field upgrade option.

Why Choose Station-IC?

Efficient Operation for Multitasking

Station-IC’s ergonomic, easy-to-use interface is designed for familiarity and consistency with other user stations. Station-IC’s large Talk and Listen buttons with individual level control allow operation with mouse and touchscreens. The window can be scaled to fit the screen and shows input and output audio meters. Station-IC’s always-on-top compact mode keeps favorite intercom keys in the smallest window, while working on other applications. Favorite keys can be designated by the user, without administrator involvement, ensuring notifications of incoming calls and Eclipse reply / LQ call keys are always visible.

Robust Technological Foundation

Station-IC uses mission specific audio codecs designed to operate over LAN, WAN and Internet network connections of various quality. Clear-Com’s legendary IP connectivity, drastically minimizes efforts required for network management and routing. Station-IC connects to the host Eclipse HX matrix via the E-IPA/IVC-32 card or to any LQ series Interface device with available capacity.

Event and Subscription License Options

Station-IC is licensed per computer using either Event or Subscription licenses. Event licenses enable effortless licensing for one week or one month duration from the time of first connection and are ideal for short-term surge capacity and rental applications while Subscription licenses are for ongoing requirements at the lowest daily cost. Subscription license expiration is clearly displayed to users in the last month of the subscription. Licenses can load multiple subscription extensions on a single computer for extended duration. License Tickets allow license owners to retrieve and transfer subscription licenses.

Integrates into any Intercom System

Station-IC fully integrates into Eclipse systems with available IP port capacity while LQ offers Channel based routing with a wide variety of LQ interfaces allowing Station-IC to connect to Clear-Com’s Encore Partyline systems, TW Partyline, HelixNet, Two-Way radios, SIP telephone lines and to any other intercom system via four-wire.

Small Budget Production with Partyline and Wireless

For many smaller production facilities, wireless communication or additional endpoint positions are typically out of reach as many systems can be difficult to fit into a finite budget. But with some device creativity, schools, small churches and theatres can put together a wireless system that will greatly enhance their capability to manage their productions. A set of analog wired positions, a Windows or MacOS computer combined with an Android or iOS mobile devices gives anyone a viable wireless system.

Communication for Stadium Operations

The Eclipse HX-Delta matrix frame carries point-to-point communication over network gigabit switches to individual panels at static positions. The LQ Series IP interface extends communication to 3rd party communication devices like IP phones and two-way radios. The E-IPA network card also allows for eight licenses each of the Agent-IC mobile app and the Station-IC desktop client. Agent-IC works on any iOS or leading Android device – it gives users a multi-channel virtual panel that can take a signal from Wi-Fi, LTE and 3G transmitters. Station-IC functions on any device running Windows or MacOS. The addition of FreeSpeak Edge to the system allows for mobile staff to communicate from anywhere in the arena.
