A leader in the field of digital intercom, punQtum has recently announced a new feature that offers users a direct connection to Riedel’s award-winning Bolero wireless intercom system. Bolero Connect works in tandem with punQtum’s Q210 P speaker station and is designed to be a cost-effective solution for deployment across large-scale events that require several channels of partyline. Riedel’s Bolero system is an intercom capable of supporting up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment.
“We can now offer an integrated system on one network, which eradicates the need for a digital conversion box. This means that all channels – send and return – are going back and forth along one cable, which means that a project can have a combination of stationary, wired connections and mobile intercom,” the announcement states.
The new Bolero Connect feature works as a single network connection between punQtum’s Q210 P and Bolero. Before now, if a project needed more than two channels, the system required a lot of extra gear including three speaker stations and an NSA interface. With Bolero Connect, six partyline channels can integrate from one punQtum Q210 P speaker station to Bolero, expanding the communication capabilities of large-scale events and productions.
Bolero Connect also has a time-saving channel name feature in which the software intuitively passes channel names between both systems. This eliminates the need for labelling. punQtum’s array of features include show relay, announce to PA and Logic, which automatically apply to the Bolero when the two systems are used together.
“The integration of punQtum and Riedel just made sense,” the announcement concludes. “With Bolero Connect, communication will become seamless for everyone, with less hardware, quicker setup time and better overall audio quality.” For users of the punQtum Q210 P speaker station, the new Bolero Connect feature is completely free. If you’re a Bolero user looking to connect the new feature, all you’ll need to do is download a punQtum licence.
