Eartec UltraLITE HD Theatre Intercom Wireless HUB Comms 3 Users

Eartec UltraLITE HD Wireless Intercom System — HUB 3 Users

The Eartec UltraLITE HD HUB is a professional-grade, licence-free wireless intercom system built around a portable DECT mini-base unit. Unlike a standard master/remote headset system, the HUB acts as a fixed or portable repeater — eliminating the risk of a master headset walking out of range and dropping the system.

Who is the UltraLITE HD HUB3S for?
Choose UltraLITE HD when you have a small working team, a busy wireless environment and need dependable hands-free communication across a defined working area. The HUB format is also useful where several separate teams may need their own intercom system within the same venue or site.

Do I need an UltraLITE HD HUB, or is the standard system enough?
The standard UltraLITE HD system may be the better-value choice for a smaller team of up to five users, where a master headset can provide the system’s central link. It keeps the setup simpler and avoids paying for HUB hardware that may not be necessary.

The HUB becomes worthwhile when you need to expand the system to support up to eight remote headsets, or when you want the system’s coverage anchored to a dedicated HUB rather than carried by a master headset.

With a conventional master-and-remote system, the person wearing the master headset can act as the system’s central link. If they are called away from the central working area, that link may move out of range with them. The HUB3S keeps the central point in a fixed or chosen position, so the team’s coverage stays with the HUB while the headset wearer steps away.

In practical terms, they can be called away, or take a short break, without taking the system’s central coverage with them.

Can multiple UltraLITE HD systems operate at the same site?
Eartec advises that up to 40 separate UltraLITE HUB-HD systems can operate within a 400-metre radius. This gives customers planning several separate teams useful manufacturer guidance for close-proximity deployments. For example, three separate UltraLITE HD systems fall within the stated system count. Actual performance can still depend on the building, layout and local radio environment.

Fast battery change
Because Eartec batteries charge separately in the charger, not in the headset, a flat battery can be swapped in seconds without losing headset pairing — ideal for long productions and back-to-back use.

Optional interface to existing wired intercom systems
The HUB can interface with most professional wired beltpack intercom systems including Clearcom, RTS, and Tecpro — ideal for productions with existing wired infrastructure.

Please note — High Noise Environments
The UltraLITE HD uses an integrated headset and cannot be used with ear defenders or alternative headsets. For high-noise environments requiring ear defenders with integrated comms, see our wired beltpack systems and our Altair Wireless Systems with XLR4F connectivity.

Typical applications: TV and film grip teams, corporate event stage comms, professional drone filming, school and college theatre, houses of worship, amateur dramatics, festival stage comms, and yacht/marine crew communications.
