Communications product focus - HME's DX210

The perfect blend of digital wireless intercom with wired-system compatibility

Before we decided to stock the DX210, we scoured the market and evaluated a number of candidate systems – the DX210 won hands down, and represents our strongest recommendation for a reliable, interference-free two-channel wireless intercom. Its digital design is the way to go – it has repeatedly proven itself, with its license-free operation in the 2.4GHz band solving the many problems of spectrum overcrowding and the sheer lack of frequencies available at some locations. It completely avoids the intermodulation squelch issues that are commonly associated with systems operating in over-saturated VHF and UHF bands.

The DX210 offers the perfect combination of wireless intercom performance and system compatibility with wired intercom products, such as installations featuring Clear-Com or RTS 2-wire systems. It provides two separate 2-wire and 4-wire interconnections and, in single channel mode, the powerful 1RU base station supports up to 16 full-duplex and 44 half-duplex beltpacks and/or wireless headsets, by linking four base stations.

Up to 15 Communicator® units can be assigned to each base station, while any four of which can be used in hands-free, full duplex mode, as well as a fifth unit when the base station headset is used. Each Communicator provides up to 20 hours of continuous use on a rechargeable battery, with the DX210's use of digital encryption and Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology preventing unauthorized personnel from hearing or interrupting your communication.

The DX210 can be paired with the rugged BP210 beltpack and All-in-One WH210 Wireless Communicator Headsets, which have two intercom buttons (IC1/IC2) with ISO. The system is also backward compatible with the DX200 Communicator models such as the BP200, WH200 and WS200 Wireless Speaker Station.

Featuring a digital auto-nulling circuit, the DX210 also allows users to eliminate the return audio of the wired 2-wire intercom automatically, with the system offering 2-wire circuit protection to prevent feedback from unterminated 2-wire channels. The DX210 also has an assignable AUX input for program, and allows for relay (GPO) actuation with ISO function – from either the base station or any one of the appropriately configured Communicators.
