[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 218422, member: 67"] Hi Ben- Do a search for the "handbook of intercom engineering", IIRC it was Telex/AudioCom but the concepts apply to all brands of party line intercoms. The Big Kids play with matrix coms now, many of which have IP capability, so your participants can be almost anywhere there's internet, or hard wired right next to you. In my world of handling touring theatricals and music acts, analog party line on our end of things is still common. At our PAC all auditoriums have 2 channels of analog Telex, with a couple of ClearCom interface boxes. Telex/AudioCom/RTS is mostly in broadcast these days and ClearCom is more common in venues and touring. "Real" wireless coms are expensive. There's a Hollyland wireless that gets "great value for the money" reviews and I saw several schools using them at our state thespian conference this year. They seemed happy with the systems and I didn't observe anyone expressing frustration with them. I can see these going out as stand-alone rentals for charity fashion shows and similar gigs where client wants coms with their back end staff, etc. I'd not expect professional production folks to accept them, but at the price they'd only need to go out a few times to pay for themselves.
