Clear-Com FSE-BP50 FreeSpeak Edge 5 GHz Wireless Beltpack
The Clear-Com FSE-BP50 is a FreeSpeak Edge wireless intercom beltpack for the license-free 5 GHz band, rugged and water-resistant, with nine programmable keys and a large color screen.
Dedicated encoders set the levels of channels A and B, channels C and D have their own level controls, and a master volume sits on the bottom. The beltpack’s nine full-duplex audio paths carry audio with 12 kHz bandwidth and latency under 35 ms, or 60 ms from beltpack to beltpack. A built-in mic and speaker let it work as a station, and it has a built-in flashlight.
The FSE-BP50 works with the FreeSpeak Edge Base, the Arcadia Central Station, and Eclipse HX matrices through E-IPA cards. It connects through FSE-TCVR-50-IP transceivers and roams between them over wide areas. It can share one system with FSII-BP19 and FSII-BP24 beltpacks, and an Eclipse HX system supports up to 200 beltpacks. Typical range is 250 ft indoors and 750 ft outdoors.
Dual redundant radios hold the link in high multipath or reflective spaces, and the radio coexists with Wi-Fi. A built-in 5 GHz scanner helps pick channels, AES256 shared key encryption protects the audio, and a separate 2.4 GHz radio handles pairing and over-the-air firmware updates.
A BAT80 lithium-ion battery comes in the box and runs the beltpack for 12 hours. It charges in the AC80 drop-in charger or through the USB-C port, which can also power the beltpack continuously. The curved housing fits the body and is rated IP54 for wet and dusty conditions.
Two versions are offered here: X4, with the 4-pin male XLR headset connector that is the Clear-Com standard, and X5, with a 5-pin female XLR headset connector.
