Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro System with Hub

The Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro is a full-duplex wireless headset intercom, and this system pairs a hub and a wired hub headset with four or eight wireless remote headsets.

How the Hub System Works

Each wireless headset talks with the hub over 1.9 GHz DECT, with a line-of-sight range of up to 1,100 feet (350 m) and encryption that keeps people outside the system from listening in. A hub-based system holds up to nine members, and the A and B buttons on each headset switch that headset between two talk groups.

The hub has 2-wire and 4-wire audio connections, and up to three hub systems can be cascaded over an IP network on standard RJ45 cable runs of up to 300 m. The ANNOUNCE button mutes every headset at once, so the whole team hears only the wired hub headset.

Over USB, the hub’s UAC function brings a computer into the conversation for calls on Zoom, Skype, or other meeting software. The hub runs on DC power or an NP-F, V-mount, or G-mount battery, and its batteries are sold separately.

Noise Reduction and Audio

Each headset uses two microphones for ENC. A directional main mic follows the speaker’s voice while an omnidirectional second mic samples the noise around it, and the processing removes that noise before it reaches the listeners. The wired hub headset has ENC as well.

Echo cancellation and a 150 Hz to 7 kHz audio band keep voices clear, and a felt paper cover on the main mic works as a wind filter.

Headset Controls and Power

Press the TALK/MUTE button to switch between talking and muted, or rotate the mic boom up or down. Press and hold the same button for push-to-talk, then release it to mute again.

Each remote headset runs more than 10 hours on its removable 700 mAh battery, which charges in about 2.5 hours, and every headset comes with a spare battery. With its battery, a headset weighs about 170 g (6 oz), and it comes with both over-ear leather and on-ear foam cushions.

Choosing a Kit

HUB4S pairs the hub and its wired headset with four wireless remote headsets, for five users. HUB8S has eight wireless remote headsets, for nine users. C1 Pro headsets also work with first-generation Solidcom C1 systems.
