Riedel Bolero Wireless Comms
Bolero is a digital, easy to use full-duplex communications solution for broadcast, security, industrial and theater applications as well as for sports and cultural events. It is an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting 10 Beltpacks per antenna and up to 100 antennas in a single deployment. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multiple-diversity and RF anti-reflection technology for greater RF robustness.
Bolero utilizes the benefits of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard’s base layer. This provides a license-free, cellular architecture with seamless hand-over between cells, allowing each Bolero Wireless Beltpack to continuously monitor and automatically select the best connection to the Antenna.
Bolero is fully integrated in Riedel’s Artist Matrix. Features like “Touch&Go” Beltpack registration, versatile operation as a wireless Beltpack, a wireless keypanel, and – in an industry first – a walkie-talkie pushing it beyond the limits of existing wireless intercom solutions.
Riedel Bolero Wireless Beltpack
The Bolero Wireless Beltpack is a light and compact, digital station with six individually configurable keys for intercom, IFB or GPO triggering use. Two rotary level controls on the front of the Beltpack allow volume-control for each key and menu navigation. Pushing the Talk key toggles talk on/off with momentary or latching operation as well as an Auto mode that combines both functions in one. Activation is indicated in the display and a button backlit LED. Optional super bright call LEDs and a vibration motor are able to indicate an incoming call or warnings. The Beltpack features a sunlight readable color display which by default shows the labels for the six function keys. In addition, the display gives the user access to the Quick menu and the intuitive configuration menu.
With the new “Touch&Go” beltpack registration a quick and user friendly registration is implemented. Just touch the Beltpack to the antenna and GO.
The Bolero Wireless Beltpack has a XLR connector for headset, a 3.5mm jack for a line-in signal and a USB port for firmware updates. Bolero Beltpacks support Bluetooth 4.1, allowing a Smartphone to be connected. When a Smartphone is connected, the Beltpack can act like a car’s “hands free” setup so the user can receive calls on their phone and talk and listen via their Beltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly into the intercom channels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility. A fully charged Bolero rechargeable Battery allows more than 17 hours of operation. The rugged housing with rubber protectors houses the internal antennas.
