West End Recording’s CIB-02 COMM/IFB Boxis designed to serve as a general purpose tool to provide fundamental communications to key personnel working in a typical production environment.

The CIB-02 is comprised of a high quality microphone preamp, balanced low impedance line input, dual balanced line drivers, and a noiseless switching system which provides signal routing and operational function control.

While the CIB-02 was originally conceived for use on smaller sets where sophisticated PL and intercom systems are typically not available, it’s unique and flexible design allows it to play an equally important role on sets of all sizes and scope addressing a wide variety of communication applications. It is especially useful in the ENG/EFP environment. Typically the CIB-02 would be used to facilitate communications between producers, directors, talent, camera operators and any number of other crew members, and it can be interfaced into virtually any wired or wireless environment.

Durability of the CIB-02 is assured through the use of state of the art surface mount components on the printed circuit board which is mechanically housed in an extruded aluminum case. Internal connections have been kept to an absolute minimum and all external connections and controls are of the highest quality using long life gold and silver plated contacts and connection pins wherever possible. The extruded aluminum case is black anodized providing a highly scratch resistant surface and all lettering and markings are laser etched into the anodized surface exposing the base metal thereby making them practically impossible to wear off with use.
