About the RTS Intercoms MRT327 2CH User Station
The RTS MRT327 is a versatile, two-channel user station designed for professional intercom systems, providing clear and reliable communication in demanding environments such as broadcast studios, live event production, and theatrical stage management. As a key component within the RTS (Remote Terminal System) / Telex digital party-line ecosystem, it offers users access to two independent, selectable communication channels from a single desktop unit. This allows an operator—such as a director, producer, or technical manager—to monitor and participate in separate conversation groups simultaneously, for example, listening to camera operators on one channel while speaking to the graphics team on another. The station features a robust metal construction and intuitive controls, including a large, backlit LCD display that clearly shows channel assignments, user IDs, and system status.
The MRT327 is engineered for clarity and ease of use under pressure. It includes a high-quality, noise-canceling microphone with a flexible gooseneck for optimal positioning and a built-in loudspeaker with adjustable volume. For private listening, a 3.5mm headphone jack is provided. Each of the two channels has dedicated keys for selecting listen (cue) and talk functions, with the ability to assign a priority level to outgoing communications. The station integrates seamlessly into larger RTS systems, connecting via standard twisted-pair cabling to a central power supply and matrix, and it can be daisy-chained with other beltpacks and stations. Advanced features often include the ability to store and recall channel presets, adjust sidetone level, and interface with external IFB (interruptible foldback) systems for talent communication.
The value of the MRT327 lies in its dual-channel capability and professional-grade audio performance, which enhance operational efficiency and coordination in complex production workflows. It provides the critical communication link that enables real-time decision-making and cueing during live broadcasts or performances. Its reliability, clear audio quality, and flexible channel management make it a preferred choice for technical directors, stage managers, and any role that requires managing multiple lines of communication from a fixed position. By serving as a powerful, user-friendly node on a robust intercom network, the RTS MRT327 helps ensure that every member of the production team stays connected and informed, contributing to the seamless execution of high-stakes live events.
