Description
Experience crystal-clear, fail-safe crew communications with the RTS TR-30N Intercom System. This compact, two-channel base station is built for demanding RF environments and is the trusted backbone of stages, broadcast studios, houses of worship, and large live events. With its versatile VHF/UHF operation, narrow 25 kHz bandwidth, and synthesized tuning, the TR-30N minimizes noise and drift while maximizing battery life and system reliability. When timing matters, this intercom system keeps your crew in perfect sync—from director cues to camera calls and lighting cues—so performances run smoothly from rehearsal to curtain call.
- Two independent channels for simultaneous crew communications: assign one channel to the director or stage management and the other to camera calls, lighting cues, or audio coordination. This separation reduces radio chatter and ensures fast, precise cues across teams.
- Versatile VHF/UHF operation for diverse venues: switch between bands to accommodate regulatory environments and RF landscapes, making it ideal for touring productions, multi-location shoots, and venues with complex RF activity. Rapid channel reconfiguration lets you adapt on the fly as show layouts change.
- Synthesized tuning for fast setup and stable links: avoid lengthy frequency hunting with stable, easily tuned frequencies. The TR-30N’s synthesized control provides consistent performance, so you spend less time chasing signals and more time delivering your production.
- Rugged, user-friendly design for fast-paced environments: built to withstand touring and daily studio use, with intuitive controls that minimize the learning curve for new crew members. The base station is designed to endure the bumps, clicks, and chatter of live production life.
- Low RF footprint with optimized battery life: crafted to maximize runtime and minimize interference, helping you maintain clean links even in busy RF environments and reducing the need for frequent recharging on demanding shows.

How to install RTS TR-30N Intercom System
- Choose a stable, well-ventilated location for the base station. Ensure nearby power access and adequate clearance for cooling and easy cable routing.
- Connect the base station to a suitable power source and verify the power indicator lights are active. If the system supports external audio or control interfaces, connect as needed according to your venue’s workflow.
- Charge or prepare RTS beltpacks for crew members. Confirm that each beltpack has fresh batteries and is in good working condition before a rehearsal or show.
- Power on the base station and use the synthesized tuning controls to select the desired RF bands (VHF/UHF) and initial channels. Allow a moment for the system to stabilize after power-up.
- Pair beltpacks with the base station: activate pairing on the base and beltpacks according to the user guide. Verify LED indicators confirm successful pairing on all units.
- Perform a test communication pass with all crew members. Check audio clarity, talk paths, and channel separation. Make any necessary adjustments to gain, monitor levels, or channel assignments to optimize performance for the production.
