FREESPEAK EDGE FreeSpeak Edge™, the latest addition to the industry-leading FreeSpeak™ digital wireless intercom family, is the most advanced digital wireless intercom system on the market, delivering the best audio quality and enhanced performance in some of the most complex live performance environments. The system gives the user more control and customization options, thanks to advanced frequency coordination capabilities and intuitive design features in the system’s transceivers and beltpacks. •Built from the ground up, FreeSpeak Edge is the result of extensive feedback from existing FreeSpeak II® power users, incorporating recent advances in the fundamental technology, leading to an all-new 5GHz chip set that features exclusive radio stack development which has been optimized for intercom. FreeSpeak Edge also leverages state-of-the-art audioover-IP developments in its architecture, utilizing AES67 connections between the transceivers and the host intercom frame for exceptional flexibility in deployment. •The 5GHz band is an ideal choice for large scale communications, as it can be managed with frequency coordination for reduced interference and offers the widest range of RF channels available for exceptional scalability. Its higher frequencies mean there is more bandwidth for data which allows for finer
control, additional audio channels, more robustness, lower latency and better audio quality. •FreeSpeak Edge leverages all the power of 5Ghz technology to perform flawlessly in even the most challenging venues and high multipath environments. The system takes advantage of ClearCom’s exclusive RF technology that uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation) to provide a robust transport layer that is immune to most forms of interference. •The system delivers the clearest 12KHz audio quality with ultra-low latency, and is highly scalable with the technology and bandwidth to support over 100 beltpacks and 64 transceivers
to accommodate the largest productions. It can also be combined seamlessly with FreeSpeak II 1.9GHz and 2.4GHz systems, providing three bandwidths across a single unified communications system. •FreeSpeak Edge transceivers and beltpacks offer more customization and control than ever before to accommodate increasingly complex communication needs. Each device uses two high throughput, low latency 5GHz radios to provide for redundancy and future features enhancements. The beltpack’s ergonomic design includes asymmetrical concave/convex top buttons for identification at a glance and touch operation; eight programmable buttons; rotary controls on both sides; and a master volume control and flashlight on the bottom. Each transceiver supports 10 beltpacks and includes attenuation and external antennas for custom RF zones as well as wall and mic stand mounting options. The system delivers the robustness and reliability that customers have come to expect from the award-winning FreeSpeak range. •While some manufacturers are trying to incrementally add limited 5GHz capabilities to existing solutions, ClearCom has leapfrogged right to the edge of what is possible with wireless intercom technology today, in readiness for tomorrow’s possibilities.
