Hey guys,
We were planning on getting a intercom system (be it telex, production intercom or clearcom) this year but I dont think it is going to happen, maybe next year. Or even middle of this season, not sure. But not the beggining I know, so I am going to ask the AV department if we can borrow their telex system for one of our shows. They use it during the schools few large events they record.
Its a really old system but works. It has a box that you plug power into, then ~6 cat 5 inputes which run to the beltpack, the beltpacks have headsets connected to them.
Now I am wondering, for the stage hands I think the wires would be a bit of a hassle, but I was thinking. If I were to get a wireless house phone-
And connect the output of that into the main box, have the wireless handset with its own power, get a headset for the wireless phone (I know some phones have these plugs.), hit the intercom button or call/on button on the handset and presto?
I am not sure if this would work or not, any ideas?
