EARTEC ULTRALITE HD + HUB Rental

The Eartec UltraLITE HD + HUB is the lightest, simplest, and most efficient full-duplex wireless intercom system on the market for professional film crews: designed and manufactured by Eartec, the UltraLITE HD is a hands-free, cable-free, fixed-base-free, and licence-free communication system — the entire communication system is integrated directly into the headset. Its defining characteristic is true, simultaneous full-duplex communication — all crew members can speak and listen at the same time without pressing any button, exactly like a normal telephone conversation. The HUB is the portable mini base station that expands the system capacity from the standard 5 users up to a maximum of 9 simultaneous users — the perfect solution for medium and large production crews.

The HUB operates on the licence-free DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) band at 1880–1900 MHz — licence-free throughout Europe and free from interference with on-set RF wireless systems —, with a range of up to 300m line-of-sight, a rechargeable lithium battery with 6 hours of operating time, a 3-hour charge time, a weight of just 255g, and an integrated belt clip for use on the move. Two HUBs can be connected via an Interlink cable to expand capacity to 17 simultaneous users. The UltraLITE HD headsets are fully self-contained — all electronics and the battery are integrated within the headset itself —, with automatic muting when the microphone boom is in the up position, available in single ear and double ear versions.
