Beltpacks suit voice comms for every audio level
The new RS-700 partyline beltpack family is set to make its European debut
CLEAR-COM
Clear-Com is returning to the RAI to debut its RS-700 Series analogue partyline beltpacks to ISE 2014 visitors.
The new RS-700 Series beltpacks are said to feature state-of-the-art performance and
exceptional audio clarity for partyline communications in small- to mid-size productions. The beltpacks’ wide dynamic range and audio contouring enable intelligible voice communication for every audio level, from a whisper to a shout, supported by
user-selectable microphone and listening level options and built-in limiters. According to the
company, all RS-700 Series beltpacks are equipped with XLR line connectors that serve the needs of all users, be it first timers or experienced
professionals. The beltpacks require a lower operating current for additional beltpack drops. Moreover, they are built to be fully compatible with all Clear-Com legacy partyline systems and are protected against damage from accidental
connection to other XLR-3

equipped digital systems, such as HelixNet Partyline.
The design of the RS- 700 Series is based on Clear-Com’s RS-500 Series beltpacks. All units are constructed with durable material for a tough exterior and strong enclosure to endure harsh, repetitive daily use. All 700 Series beltpacks feature recessed rotary volume controls as well as Talk and Call keys that are guarded against accidental activation. Meanwhile, an LED off- mode is available for instances when the user requires complete darkness. For these situations, the switches are placed in convenient locations for ease of use. A concealed DIP switch on the back of the beltpack affords the capability to select audio and key options quickly and easily. Stand: 11-D54

QSC AUDIO PRODUCTS
Several key components of the Q-Sys networked audio management platform from QSC, and all of the models in the CX amplifier line, have achieved IEC60945 certification. The news represents the final stage in the process of rendering them eligible for use at sea under the internationally recognised maritime safety conventions, known collectively as SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea). The QSC Core 1000, 3000 and
4000 processors, together with their associated Page Stations, I/O Frame audio interfaces and CX amplifiers, achieved IEC60945 certification by conforming to a stringent set of internationally recognised standards. SOLAS

certification is legally required for equipment on the high seas, with a vessel's maritime insurance at risk of invalidation unless all equipment used on board is SOLAS-approved.

been expanded to cover full management of the new HLS streaming server facilities for PCs, tablets and smartphones, Media Portal management and creation, management of the Evolution VOD system, and numerous small improvements such as centralised ticker/ crawl distribution and alert management. All MediaStar encoders now support HLS streaming and
when integrated with the new MediaStar HLS server product can deliver content to users of both Android and Apple iOS devices using HLS (HTTP live streaming protocol). Evolution Media Manager is claimed to make the implementation quick and easy so that users of tablets and smartphones can now enjoy access to all content on the IP network using the Evolution Media Portal.
A new Media Portal created and managed in Media Manager gives users simple click-through access to view content on their PCs, tablets and smartphones.
