BARCELONA, Spain – As displayed on the Riedel Communications booth at ISE earlier this month, punQtum promises to serve as an affordable, easy-to-use partyline solution for application in theaters, music venues, corporate events and broadcast settings. Shipping now, punQtum solutions include standalone beltpacks, headsets and speaker stations.
More details from Riedel (www.riedel.net):
Riedel noted that these digital products are available for an analogue price and can easily be integrated with existing systems via an IP switch, giving venues the flexibility to extend and customise existing systems on a budget.
punQtum supports multiple communication channels along a single wire, which makes it easy for groups of people to communicate with each other exclusively, such as Front of House (FOH) or lighting crew, eliminating crossed lines of communication and minimizing miscommunications during live performances or broadcasts. The system works straight out of the box, with default settings that can be quickly configured by a user-friendly software interface. Furthermore, these user-friendly systems are backed by the expertise and quality of the Riedel brand, ensuring quality and reliability.
In terms of products, the Q110 beltpack is at the heart of the punQtum solution. These easy-to-use beltpacks offer two channels of IP-partyline intercom with power supplied via a standard PoE switch. Designed from quality, durable materials, each beltpack can be daisy-chained up to 8 times. punQtum’s Q210 speaker station provides even greater control, with four channels of communication, programmable buttons and the ability to trigger logic outputs. The Speaker Station is equipped with a four-port network switch. Two of the ports are rated to provide POE+ power and every POE+ capable port can power up to four wired beltpacks. Both single-ear and dual-ear headsets complete the offering, alongside punQtum’s own Q-Tool Configuration Software, which allows for quick and easy system adjustments.
“It’s important to note that you don’t need the full catalogue of products to benefit from punQtum’s solutions. Both the beltpacks and speaker stations are standalone and can be easily integrated into existing systems,” comments Jiou-Pahn Lee, Program Director at punQtum. “Our products can be used on any IP network with no limits on the number of users. We want to take the fear out of IP networking. There’s no need for fancy IP switches – any IP switch will work with our products.”
In this post-pandemic world, the AV industry continues to experience supply chain issues, with product distribution often hampered by long lead times. End users will be pleased to note that punQtum products are shipping now.
