The RTS CM-300 is a professional, console-mount user station designed for integration into broadcast intercom systems, specifically the RTS ADAM or other matrix-based intercom frames. This compact three-channel panel provides critical communication capabilities for production staff such as directors, producers, and technical operators who need reliable, hands-free communication with multiple parties during live broadcasts, studio productions, or live events. Engineered for flush mounting into a console or desk, it offers a clean, installed appearance while providing immediate access to three independent, two-way intercom channels. Each channel features its own large, backlit push-button for quick channel selection and talk/listen control, along with a dedicated volume knob, allowing the user to manage conversations with different groups—such as talent, camera operators, and the production gallery—simultaneously or independently.

The unit is built to the high reliability standards expected in broadcast environments, with a robust metal housing and high-quality tactile controls designed for frequent use. It connects to the central intercom matrix via a single multi-conductor cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter. The CM-300 supports standard two-wire party-line operation within a matrix system, providing clear, balanced audio with excellent noise rejection. Key features often include a built-in dynamic microphone with a flexible gooseneck or an input for a headset, sidetone adjustment so users can hear their own voice at a comfortable level, and a cue output for private monitoring of a selected channel without transmitting. Status is clearly indicated through the illuminated buttons, showing which channels are active or in talk mode.

For system integrators and broadcast engineers, the RTS CM-300 represents a modular and space-efficient solution for placing critical communication controls directly at an operator's fingertips. Its design minimizes the need for external desktop speaker stations or bulky control panels, conserving valuable real estate in crowded control rooms. By offering three fully functional channels in a single compact unit, it enhances operational efficiency and ensures that essential production communication remains intuitive, reliable, and instantly accessible throughout the most demanding live productions.
