Pliant Technologies has released a firmware update for its MicroCom XR wireless intercom, which includes a new Dual Listen feature that allows users to listen to two intercom channels simultaneously.
Dual Listen provides the benefit of monitoring communications on both the A and B channels, while also allowing users to switch between talking on either channels A or B independently. In addition, this is selectable on each pack in the system, giving individual users the choice between Dual Listen and normal A or B channel communications.
MicroCom XR provides full-duplex, multi-user intercom solutions for applications where high-quality audio, extended range, ease of use, and affordability are essential. Available in 900MHz (where legal) and 2.4GHz, MicroCom XR is a two-channel intercom system that provides up to 10 full-duplex users, a 12-hour (field-replaceable) battery, and extended range.
The system offers unlimited listeners in addition to duplex users, all without the need for a base station, providing flexibility for a range of applications. Additionally, MicroCom XR features an easy-to-read OLED display, an optional drop-in charger, and is IP67-rated. The system’s rugged, lightweight beltpacks have been built to endure the wear and tear of everyday use as well as the extremes encountered in outdoor environments.
MicroCom XR features a default Repeater Mode, which connects users working beyond the typical range by locating the Master beltpack in a centralised location helping to overcome RF barriers. Also, as a system selectable option, MicroCom XR has a Roam Mode that further expands the coverage area of any system. This mode links users spread throughout a venue by assigning a strategically located Master pack as well as a secondary Submaster pack. This allows users to move more freely throughout a venue while staying connected through communication barriers such as walls and floors.
MicroCom XR is designed with advanced RF technology and specifically for broadcast and production use, making MicroCom XR an ideal solution for an array of professional applications. MicroCom XR offers exceptional sound quality and range providing more features and performance to users with more modest budgets. This includes smaller houses of worship facilities, schools, videographers, corporate events, and more.
The MicroCom XR firmware upgrade is free of charge to existing customers and is now available on all current shipments of new systems.
