Communication System Hire

Tecpro is a ‘two wire’ or as it is sometimes known ‘party-line’ or ‘ring’ system which enables a number of people to take part in the same conversation. Each participant can hear all other participants on the same circuit while being able to talk to them simultaneously, so a full ‘duplex’ conversation can take place – similar to a telephone system.

The major applications for these systems are in the theatre, conference, live performance and broadcast markets, though new applications are constantly emerging.

A basic Tecpro communication system would comprise a power supply and two or more outstations or beltpacks. An outstation may be wall mounted, free-standing or mounted in a rack. It will usually have a built-in loudspeaker and possibly a microphone. Beltpacks are intended for personal use and work only with a headset. Outstations and beltpacks are connected together with two core screened microphone cable which carries system power, audio, and various control signals. Most have a 3-pin XLR input and output and can be simply daisy-chained together. Alternatively, interconnection can radiate out from a central one-in, multiple-out signal splitter. A combination of both methods is often used.

More complex systems typically employ a master station which has two in-built power supplies and offers two independent communication circuits, A and B. Participants in a conversation on circuit A cannot communicate with those on circuit B, but the person operating the master station can communicate with circuits A and B separately or together.

Clear and reliable communication is essential for any well-coordinated event or production. Whether you are managing a live performance, conference, broadcast or large-scale event, professional comms systems ensure your team can stay connected at all times.

Why Choose Professional Communication System Hire?

Using a dedicated communication system allows multiple team members to talk and listen simultaneously, ensuring fast decision making and smooth operation. Our systems are reliable, scalable and suitable for both small teams and large production environments.

Two-Wire Party-Line Systems

Party-line systems such as Tecpro allow multiple users to communicate on the same circuit. Each participant can hear and speak to everyone else on the line at the same time, creating a full duplex conversation similar to a telephone system. These are widely used in theatre, live events and technical production environments.

Wireless Communication Systems

For greater flexibility, wireless comms systems allow users to move freely without being restricted by cabling. These systems are ideal for larger venues, outdoor events or productions where mobility is essential.

Beltpacks, Headsets and Outstations

Our systems include a range of beltpacks, headsets and outstations to suit different roles within your team. Beltpacks are designed for individual users, while outstations can be fixed or rack-mounted for central control points. Headsets provide clear audio and hands-free operation, essential for busy environments.

Scalable Multi-Circuit Systems

More advanced setups can include multiple communication circuits, allowing teams to be split into separate groups. For example, production, lighting and stage management can operate independently while still being connected through a master station when required.

Flexible System Configuration

Communication systems can be configured in a variety of ways, including daisy-chained setups or centralised distribution via splitters. This allows us to design a system that suits your venue layout and operational requirements.

Expert Support and Setup

If you are unsure what communication system you need, our team can recommend the right setup based on your event type and team size. We can also assist with system planning to ensure reliable coverage and ease of use.
