The Clear-Com CS-222 is a professional 2-channel main station that serves as the central control unit for Clear-Com party-line intercom systems in small to medium-sized production environments. It provides a dedicated, hardwired communication hub for key production personnel such as the director, stage manager, or technical director, allowing them to manage communication across two independent channels. The station features two large, backlit channel selector knobs for easy selection of channels A and B, a call button for each channel to signal other beltpacks, and independent volume controls with talk-listen functionality. Its robust metal construction and straightforward, intuitive interface make it a reliable and essential piece of equipment for live events, broadcast studios, theater productions, and corporate AV setups where clear, coordinated communication is critical.

The CS-222 connects directly to a Clear-Com 2-channel party-line system, powering connected beltpacks and headsets while providing clear, balanced audio. It requires an external power supply and interfaces with the intercom system via standard 3-pin XLR connectors. As a main station, it can also be used to interface with other systems, such as 4-wire equipment or telephone lines, when used with appropriate interface panels. By offering a simple, durable, and effective control point for two communication channels, the Clear-Com CS-222 enables efficient crew coordination and ensures that production commands are delivered reliably, forming the backbone of the intercom network in many professional audio-visual operations.
