Users of punQtum digital intercoms are to benefit from a new feature that offers direct connection to Riedel’s Bolero wireless intercom system. Bolero Connect works in tandem with punQtum’s Q210 P speaker station, providing a cost-effective solution for use across large-scale events that require several channels of partyline comms.

The Q210 P punQtum speaker station gives users full control in an easy-to-use and cost-effective package, while Riedel’s Bolero is capable of supporting up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment. It is the most widely used communications system in the major events industry.

The Bolero Connect feature works as a single network connection between Q210 P and Bolero. Previously, where a project needed more than two comms channels the system required additional hardware, including three speaker stations and an NSA interface. With Bolero Connect, six partyline channels can be operated from a single 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, and provides an integrated communications system. Additionally, punQtum’s features, including show relay, announce to PA and Logic automatically apply to Bolero when the systems are used together.

‘The integration of punQtum and Riedel just made sense,’ says Riedel Communications Program Director, Jiou-Pahn Lee. ‘With Bolero Connect, communication will become seamless for everyone, with less hardware, quicker set-up time and better overall audio quality.’

Bolero Connect is free to punQtum Q210 P speaker stationusers – all that is required is a punQtum licence.
