The Clear-Com Paragon AMS 1022 is a high-performance, self-powered monitor speaker designed specifically for use within professional intercom and production communication systems. Its primary role is to provide clear, intelligible audio for monitoring party-line conversations, program feeds, and cues in production control rooms, broadcast studios, stage manager stations, and other critical listening positions. Unlike standard studio monitors, this speaker is engineered to prioritize vocal clarity and reliability over wide-frequency music reproduction, ensuring that every instruction and cue is heard accurately in often noisy and high-pressure environments.

The speaker is an active design, incorporating a built-in amplifier optimized for its driver components, which typically include a woofer and a high-frequency driver. This integrated approach simplifies installation and guarantees a matched system. It features multiple input options to accommodate various signal sources within a production complex, such as balanced line-level inputs from an intercom matrix, a program audio feed, or an auxiliary source. Level controls allow the operator to adjust the volume of different audio sources independently, ensuring the intercom talkback remains audible over background program audio.

Constructed for durability in 24/7 broadcast and live event facilities, the AMS 1022 is housed in a robust enclosure suitable for desktop use, rack-mounting with an optional kit, or wall mounting. Its design often includes features like a front-panel headphone jack for private listening and a talk-back microphone input with level control, making it a central hub for a production position. By delivering reliable, focused sound reinforcement for communication channels, the Clear-Com Paragon AMS 1022 is an essential component for ensuring smooth, coordinated operations in any production where clear and immediate communication is vital.
