The Clear-Com RM-200 PL Pro is a passive remote station designed to extend the functionality of a party-line intercom system, allowing users to participate in communications from a secondary location without requiring a separate power source. This device is essentially a ruggedized passive box that provides standard intercom connections—typically a headset jack and a push-to-talk (PTT) button—connected to the main intercom system via a long multi-conductor cable. It is engineered for environments where a technician or performer needs a simple, reliable communication point that does not need the amplification and active electronics of a full beltpack, such as at a follow spot position, a stage manager's alternate location, or a camera operator's remote post.

The RM-200 PL Pro operates by carrying the intercom audio and control signals directly over the cable from the main station or another active beltpack. It includes a standard 4-pin XLR connector for connecting a Clear-Com or compatible headset, and a PTT button that allows the user to engage the microphone. Because it is passive, it draws no power of its own, making it extremely reliable and immune to battery failure. Its robust metal housing is built to withstand the physical demands of live production environments, including being stepped on, having cables yanked, or exposure to the elements in outdoor venues.

Installation is straightforward: the unit is placed at the desired remote location and connected back to the intercom system via a suitable cable, which can be extended over long distances. The RM-200 PL Pro exemplifies a no-frills, utilitarian approach to intercom expansion, providing essential communication capability where it's needed with maximum reliability. It is a trusted tool in theater, broadcast, and event production for creating reliable, hard-wired communication outposts.
