When used as an accessory with our BoomBox talkback system, the Speak Easy is ideal for communication between the director and actors. For example, during car towing scenes, the Director can wear the BoomBox belt pack and the Speak Easy is hidden in the picture car with the actors. When the director presses the PTT button, he is heard in the car. In this case, program monitoring for the director can be fed in the same way it normally is to the boom operator.

Battery life will depend on how much and how loud the Speak Easy is being used, but typical intermittent use will yield a full production day. When no signal is present, current draw is less than 5mA.

Price: $199 (optional front volume control is an additional $39)
