Pliant Technologies announces the latest MicroCom XR firmware update, which includes the addition of a new Dual Listen feature. Dual Listen is designed to give users the ability to listen to two intercom channels simultaneously, allowing users to monitor communications on both the A and B channels and to switch between talking on either channels A or B independently. In addition, this new feature is selectable on each pack in the system, giving the individual user a choice between Dual Listen and normal A or B channel communications. Pliant Technologies will showcase this new feature for MicroCom XR, along with its CrewCom and CB2 intercom solutions throughout ISE 2023 (Stand 7G850).
“Being introduced as part of MicroCom XR’s latest firmware release, Dual Listen is an exciting new feature for the Pliant Technologies two-channel MicroCom XR pack,” says Gary Rosen, Vice President of global sales for Pliant Technologies. “Dual Listen allows our customers to create a more customized workflow for specific applications and provides even more value to an already cost-efficient wireless intercom system.”
MicroCom XR is designed for full-duplex, multi-user intercom solutions, quality audio, extended range, ease of use, and affordability. Available in 900MHz (where legal) and 2.4GHz, MicroCom XR is a two-channel intercom system that provides up to 10 full-duplex users, a 12-hour (field-replaceable) battery, and extended range.
The system offers unlimited listeners in addition to duplex users, without the need for a basestation, providing flexibility for a range of applications. Additionally, MicroCom XR features an easy-to-read OLED display, an optional drop-in charger, and is IP67-rated. The system’s beltpacks are designed to be rugged and lightweight and have been built to endure the everyday use as well as extreme outdoor environments.
MicroCom XR features a default Repeater Mode, which connects users working beyond the typical range by locating the Master beltpack in a centralized location helping to overcome RF barriers. Also, as a system selectable option, MicroCom XR has a Roam Mode that further expands the coverage area of any system. This mode links users spread throughout a venue by assigning a strategically located Master pack as well as a secondary Submaster pack. This allows users to move more freely throughout a venue while staying connected through typical communication barriers such as walls and floors.
MicroCom XR is designed with advanced RF technology and specifically for broadcast and production use. MicroCom XR is also designed for users with more modest budgets like smaller houses of worship facilities, schools, videographers, corporate events, and more.
Pliant also offers a wide range of professional headsets for use with MicroCom intercom systems. Ranging from the complete line of SmartBoom headsets to small, cost-effective specialty headsets.
The new MicroCom XR firmware upgrade, which includes the new Dual Listen feature, is free of charge to existing customers and is now available on all current shipments of new systems.
