Altair WBS200HD HD Wireless Intercom Base Station (4 User, Single Channel)

Altair WBS200HD HD Wireless Intercom Base Station (4 User, Single Channel)

The WBS200HD is the entry point into the Altair HD wireless intercom system — a professional, rack-mountable base station supporting up to 4 wireless beltpacks on a single intercom channel. Established in the professional A/V industry since 2006, Altair's WB-200 series is trusted for its reliability, ease of use, and value at a professional level.

Integrated wired and wireless — no interface unit required

Unlike systems that bolt on wired connectivity as an afterthought via an external interface unit, the WBS200HD has a dedicated internal wired intercom interface built in. Connect directly to your existing wired intercom infrastructure — beltpacks, desk stations and remote stations — with no additional hardware and no initialisation process. A true hybrid wired/wireless hub in a single 1U rack unit.

Perfect for venues and productions that need wireless flexibility at front-of-house while retaining wired reliability backstage.

Antennas

Two antennas are included, screwing directly onto the front panel SMA connectors — quick to fit, no tools required. For installations where the base station is located in a rack below stage level or in an equipment room with limited line-of-sight to beltpacks, an optional external antenna is available to optimise coverage.

Scalable system architecture

Need more than 4 users? Link multiple WBS200HD units together to expand capacity beyond a single base station. Or step up to the WBS202HD for up to 8 users from a single unit.

Compatible with existing wired intercom systems

The WBS200HD's built-in wired interface connects directly to existing party line intercom systems via XLR. It is compatible with Tecpro systems and will power Tecpro wired beltpacks from the same unit. RTS two-wire systems can be connected on the intercom line, however the WBS200HD will not power RTS beltpacks directly. Please contact us to confirm compatibility with your existing system before purchase.

Licence-free operation

Operates on the 1.9GHz DECT band — no licence required for use in the UK.

Compatible with

• Altair HD wireless beltpacks: WBP200HD Compact and WBP210HD Extreme (up to 4)

In the box

⚠️ Installer note: when connecting the WBS200HD to an existing powered wired intercom system, the termination switch on the base station must be set to unterminated. Two terminated power supplies on the same intercom line will cause audio level problems.
