BOLERO WIRELESS INTERCOM

Meet Bolero, the wireless intercom system that’s changing the way productions communicate – and now, meet its compact counterpart, Bolero Mini, designed for maximum mobility without compromise. Together, they deliver Riedel’s legendary audio clarity, reliability, and flexibility in any production environment.

Bolero supports up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas, while Bolero Mini packs the same cutting-edge performance into a lightweight, thin form factor – less than a smartphone in weight and only 28 mm thick. Whether on stage, backstage, or in the broadcast booth, Bolero Mini stays out of sight while keeping teams connected.

Three network modes, endless possibilities:

  • Bolero Integrated: Full Artist system integration with SmartPanels and extensive I/O for large-scale productions.
  • Bolero Standalone Link: Plug-and-play simplicity for smaller or portable setups.
  • Bolero Standalone 2110 (AES67): Standards-based IP workflow without the need for an Artist matrix, perfect for SMPTE ST 2110/AES67 networks.

Both Bolero and Bolero Mini feature Riedel’s ADR technology for unbeatable RF robustness, high-clarity voice codecs, and efficient spectrum use – even in challenging environments. Bolero Mini adds advanced 5G filtering, keeping your communications interference-free in crowded RF spaces.

Both Bolero and Bolero Mini beltpacks deliver powerful functionality in their respective form factors. Standard Bolero beltpacks feature six intercom channels, a dedicated “Reply” button for quick responses, a sunlight-readable and rotatable display, Bluetooth connectivity for headsets or smartphones, and the ability to function as a walkie-talkie using the integrated microphone and speaker. Bolero Mini condenses this capability into a compact, low-profile design with four programmable buttons, and dedicated volume controls, ensuring users enjoy the full Bolero experience in a lightweight, mobile package.

Both systems are built from premium materials with high-impact plastics and rubber overmolds, making them tough, reliable, and comfortable for any production.
Whether you need full-scale infrastructure or a lightweight, mobile solution, Bolero and Bolero Mini bring ultimate flexibility, clarity, and connectivity – letting your team focus on the production, not the technology.
