The Telex BP-1002 is a professional, single-channel wired intercom bodypack transceiver, serving as a compact and reliable communication node for party-line intercom systems. Designed for use by stagehands, camera operators, lighting technicians, and production crew, it provides clear, hands-free communication in environments where mobility and situational awareness are essential. This bodypack connects directly to a standard two-wire or four-wire intercom belt via a locking, coiled cable, offering a robust physical link that ensures consistent audio without the concerns of RF interference or battery failure common in wireless systems. Its rugged construction and straightforward operation make it a staple in broadcast facilities, live theater, sports venues, and event production where dependable crew communication is critical to operational success.

Engineered for user comfort and durability, the BP-1002 features a robust metal or high-impact plastic housing that can withstand the rigors of daily professional use. It incorporates a high-quality, noise-canceling electret microphone on a flexible boom that can be positioned close to the user's mouth for optimal voice pickup while minimizing background noise. The unit includes a volume control wheel and a prominent, latching push-to-listen (PTL) button, which allows the wearer to engage the intercom channel to hear other users only when needed, preserving hearing and reducing fatigue during long events. A built-in sidetone feature enables the user to monitor their own voice level in the headset, ensuring natural speaking volume and preventing shouting.

The bodypack is designed for seamless integration, terminating in a standard 4-pin XLR connector that interfaces with compatible intercom main stations, beltpacks, and cabling infrastructures. It operates on the standard phantom power supplied by the intercom system itself, requiring no internal batteries. The included over-the-head headset provides a comfortable, secure fit with a dynamic earphone for clear audio reception. As a core component of a wired intercom network, the Telex BP-1002 delivers unwavering reliability, excellent audio clarity, and practical functionality, making it a trusted tool for professional crew communication in the most demanding production environments.
