Sonifex CM-BH4W Belt-Pack 4-Wire Headphone Amp

Sonifex CM-BH4W Belt-Pack 4-Wire Headphone Amp

The CM-BH4W is a portable, battery powered 4 wire communication unit for use in a multitude of TV and radio broadcasting applications. The CM-BH4W uses audio transformers at its input and output, providing galvanic isolation from outside interference, ensuring your communications are loud and clear, every time. In 4-wire mode, the unit acts as a 2-way intercom, with input audio routed to the headset earpiece, and microphone audio is routed to the output upon pressing the talk button. The output level is maintained at +2dBu peak level by a built-in AGC. In IFB mode, the input audio is routed to the output, and is interrupted by the microphone signal when the talk switch is pressed. The talk switch can easily be converted from momentary to latching operation to suit your application.
