About the Clear-Com WBS-670 Wireless Intercom Base Station
The Clear-Com WBS-670 is a professional wireless intercom base station designed to integrate wireless beltpacks seamlessly into existing wired party-line intercom systems. This unit acts as a central hub, bridging the gap between the reliability of wired infrastructure and the mobility required by roaming personnel such as stage managers, camera operators, directors, and talent. It provides two independent, license-free channels operating in the 1.9 GHz DECT frequency band, offering robust, interference-resistant digital audio communication with excellent range and clarity. Each channel can support multiple wireless beltpacks, creating flexible talk groups that allow both wired and wireless users to communicate as part of the same coordinated team, which is essential for live events, broadcast productions, theater, and large-scale installations.
The base station features a robust metal chassis designed for rack mounting and includes a comprehensive set of connectivity options. It interfaces with standard 2-wire or 4-wire analog intercom systems via Phoenix connectors or XLR, ensuring compatibility with a vast installed base of Clear-Com and other professional intercom equipment. Advanced management capabilities are provided through an Ethernet port, enabling remote configuration, monitoring, and control via a web browser or dedicated software. This networkability allows system administrators to manage frequencies, adjust audio levels, monitor battery status of connected beltpacks, and troubleshoot the system from a central location, greatly simplifying operations in complex, multi-zone environments.
Engineered for mission-critical communications, the WBS-670 delivers clear, full-duplex audio with minimal latency, ensuring natural conversations even in noisy environments. Its use of the globally accepted 1.9 GHz DECT spectrum eliminates the need for frequency coordination or licensing. The system incorporates security features like encrypted audio transmission to prevent eavesdropping. As a core component of a hybrid intercom system, the WBS-670 significantly enhances operational flexibility by untethering key personnel without sacrificing the audio quality, reliability, and system integration that professional productions demand.
