Riedel Expands Performer Digital Partyline Series at NAB 2007

Riedel Communications added several new products to its Performer digital partyline intercom series. The world’s first digital partyline intercom system features high quality digital audio and now provides 2 and 4-channel master stations, rack-mount, wall-mount and desktop speaker stations as well as call light indicators and 2-channel beltpack headset stations.

Performer CR-4 / CR-2 Master Station
The new Performer master stations CR-4 (4-channel) and CR-2 (2-channel) are the ideal choice for setting up a stand-alone digital partyline system. Depending on the set-up the integrated power supply of the 19”/1RU device can power up to 32 Performer devices such as beltpacks, split-boxes or desktop speaker stations per line. Additional power-supplies easily expand the possibilities. The clear user interface offers the user ultimate performance and flexibility. The colour-illuminated buttons are ideal for applications in operational environments. The remote mic-kill function allows the user to silence any open microphone on the intercom channels. The CR-4/CR-2 features an additional program input that can be mixed individually to each of the intercom channels. Other features include individual listen volume controls for all partylines, Call and S-Call, IFB and a stage announce function to use the intercom microphone to talk over the PA system. The CR-4/CR-2 can be operated using a headset or the integrated powerful loudspeaker with a gooseneck microphone.

Performer CD-2 Desktop Speaker / Headset Station
The CD-2 Desktop Speaker/Headset Station provides the same feature set as the CR-2 Master Station except for the internal power-supply. This makes the CD-2 ideal either for operation as a desktop speaker station or – in combination with an external power-supply – as a 2-channel master station for setting up a stand-alone digital partyline system.

Performer CW-2 Wall Mount Speaker / Headset Station
The CW-2 Wall Mount Speaker/Headset Station comes with a standard 4-gang outlet box and provides an easy-to-use 2-channel digital intercom panel. The large rotary level controls combine volume control and a talk button with momentary/latching operation. The unit can be operated using a headset or the integrated powerful loudspeaker with a microphone. A call signal LED, Call and S-Call function complete the feature list. The CW-2 can be powered from the partyline or via a local power supply.
