CHILDREN’S MUSICAL THEATRE MEETS ARTISTIC AND PERSONAL GOALS WITH CLEAR-COM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

The theatre, which is now in its 47th season, needed a reliable and secure communication system between stage managers and backstage crew.

San Jose, CA-based Children’s Musical Theatre (CMT San Jose), a non-profit children’s theatre that specializes in training and educating today’s youth through musical theatre, has upgraded its communication systems with a Clear-Com(r) HME DX200 digital wireless intercom system, four BP200
wireless beltpacks and five HS15 headsets.

The theatre, which is now in its 47th season, needed a reliable and secure communication system between stage
managers and backstage crew. The easy-to-use HME DX200 System comes complete with synthesized voice prompts,
rechargeable batteries, battery charger and rugged, lightweight COMMUNICATOR(r) headsets for reliable and
cost-effective operation. With digital encryption and frequency-hopping technologies, crews never have to
worry about unauthorized users hearing the conversation.

“Reliable and quality communication is vital to our success,” said Josh Rose, Production Manager at the
Children’s Musical Theatre San Jose. “Clear-Com was able to provide us with a way to improve the amount of
communication that we had for our backstage crew by increasing the number of people on headsets. This has
been a huge help in keeping our production and tech rehearsals moving forward safely and efficiently, creating
not only a better product but a better experience for our young performers and their families.”

The HME DX200 digital wireless intercom system is designed for professional wireless communications and
operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band, which is license free in North America. It is very flexible, allowing more
people to be in direct communication, thus ensuring information is relayed quickly to keep CMT San Jose’s
productions and rehearsals moving forward. The additional wireless units also enable the crew to be more
mobile without losing the vital communication link.

The single or dual headsets provide separation from the noisy environment, and the noise reduction vastly
improves communication. Users have the option of the HS15 single headset or the HS15D dual driver version.
Up to 15 COMMUNICATORs can be assigned to each base station, any four of which can be used in hands-free,
full-duplex mode and a fifth when the base station headset is used. The expandable system enables up to four
base stations to be used together for a total of 60 COMMUNICATORs with up to 16 in full-duplex, single channel mode.

“At CMT San Jose, we pride ourselves on not only educating our performers, but their families as well,” added
Rose. “The efficiency and exposure to learning provided by the additional headsets enables us to have more
people involved with all of the intricacies of our productions, giving them a better appreciation of what is
taking place – and also lets us train our volunteers for future increased responsibilities.”
