Clear-Com HME DX210 Wireless Headset System

2011-11-07T21:12:33.772Z

Greetings all!

We are preparing to check out Clear-Com's HME DX210 wireless headset system here at ASF.

It will be an interesting integration test, as our hard wire system is an RTS unit, and our in house wireless are Radio Comm. According to the product information, we should be good to go with the mash in of a button. This is what Clear Com has to say on their website: The HME DX210 offers the perfect blend of wireless intercom performance, system compatibility with wired intercom systems, and ease of use.

Well... We're about to find out! We'll see how the HME ties in!

They also say: Operating in the 2.4GHz band, the DX210 delivers exceptional sound clarity and enables interference-free communication for highly demanding productions.

We'll see about that too!

Four our product test, we have the BS210 base station:

Three HME BP 210:

(Which I will say, right out of the gate is compact and light weight. The pack fits in the palm of my hand... and I have little hands, so that's saying something. In a later installments, I'll include a photo with my hand or other items to give you an idea of scale.)

The belt back doesn't have a hard-installed belt clip. Instead, Clear Com offers a belt pack pouch (sold separately) that provides both protection for the pack, and a belt clip. The pouch is made from a thick rubber, and appears to be shock absorbent and durable.

This week my crew will be setting up the system to see how easy it is to integrate, as well as testing the system with our existing wireless and wired intercom systems, as well as checking out the systems range, features, etc.

Any questions you have? Curious about a specific range of circumstances? Ask! I'll do my best to answer or test as you desire!

Cheers cats and kittens! Until next time!
