About the Clear-Com PL Pro RM-440 4-Channel Remote Station
The Clear-Com PL Pro RM-440 is a professional four-channel remote station designed to extend the control and accessibility of a party-line intercom system to secondary locations beyond the main control hub. This rack-mountable unit provides full-duplex communication on four independent channels, allowing personnel in a separate control room, at a front-of-house position, or in a dedicated technical area to participate fully in the production's communication network. It features a comprehensive front-panel interface with dedicated controls for each channel, including a large rotary volume knob, a prominent push-to-talk button, and a clear call indicator light, enabling intuitive and immediate management of conversations with different departments such as lighting, audio, video, and stage management.
Engineered for seamless integration, the RM-440 connects to the main intercom system via standard two-wire or four-wire cabling, making it a versatile addition to both new installations and existing Clear-Com PL Pro infrastructure. It can derive power directly from the main station or an external power supply, offering flexibility in system design. The unit includes professional audio features such as adjustable sidetone, which allows the user to hear their own voice at a comfortable level in the headset, and integrated program input with ducking capability, which automatically lowers the volume of a program feed (like a live audio mix) when someone speaks on the intercom, ensuring critical instructions are never missed.
Built with the same rugged reliability as the main station, the RM-440 is housed in a sturdy 1RU metal chassis suitable for permanent rack installation. Its design emphasizes clear audio quality and operational simplicity, ensuring that remote team members have a communication tool that is both powerful and easy to use. By placing a fully functional, multi-channel intercom station at strategic remote points, the PL Pro RM-440 enhances coordination and situational awareness across large or multi-room facilities, ensuring that every critical team member, regardless of their physical location, remains connected to the live production's communication backbone.
