Phonak Roger On V2 Transmitter and Gateway for Roger Earpiece

The Phonak Roger On V2 links a wired IFB beltpack or other audio source to the Roger Earpiece, sending the feed over Phonak’s license-free 2.4 GHz Roger link so talent wears nothing but the earpiece.

For film work, a 3.5 mm jack to USB-C adapter (sold separately) carries the beltpack’s output into the Roger On, and its microphones mute automatically while the adapter is connected. For broadcast, the docking station powers the Roger On and feeds it audio from an analog 3.5 mm or optical Toslink source, and a computer can stream to the Roger On over USB-C. On stage, its four built-in microphones pick up the voice of the person wearing it, so a prompter backstage can read lines straight to the talent.

The Roger On sets each earpiece’s volume individually in 2 dB steps. The free myRogerMic app for iOS and Android connects over Bluetooth LE to change the microphone mode, mute the microphones, choose normal or extended range, and show the battery level. The built-in lithium polymer battery lasts about 8 hours at normal range or 6 hours at extended range and charges over USB-C.

At 27 g and 99.7 × 23.5 × 13.6 mm, it clips to a belt or hangs from a lanyard beside the beltpack. It takes the place of the Roger Multimedia Hub as the gateway between a beltpack and the Roger Earpiece. This version ships with an EU power supply, so a plug adapter is needed for North American outlets.
