Clear-Com's HME DX210 takes The John Lennon Tour

Clear-Com is supplying the the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus crew with intercoms for its productions and workshops.
Clear-Com's HME DX210 Digital Wireless Intercom enables clear communication and quick collaboration between the staff on diverse productions while on the road.
The system is also easy to operate, allowing even students to master the system and gain familiarity with life productions.
The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit, state-of-the-art mobile audio and HD video production facility that travels across the U.S. and Canada, offering songwriting and multimedia production workshops to young people. At each destination, the production setup of the bus changes to accommodate the varying needs, levels of skill and interests of the school and community.
Whether it's handling communications for an intimate acoustic performance, an onboard video production or a large-scale event where the crew members are separated by considerable distances, the HME DX210 allows the staff to work cohesively and speak to one another as if they were next to each other. It delivers exceptional audio clarity regardless of ambient noise levels and also provides the staff with wireless mobility so that they can freely move throughout the different production spaces to carry out their responsibilities. The audio clarity, full-duplex capability, and wireless flexibility of the HME DX210 have streamlined production workflow for the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
"Lennon Bus productions and livestreams are fast-paced. We can get only one shot or take, so it is critical that we can speak to each other quietly, yet still be heard and understood on the other end," says Ryan L'Esperance, Producer and Engineer for the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. "The audio quality of the DX210 is phenomenal. We're able to hear each other clearly on the system in any environment, whether in the most intimate of settings or in a loud place."
The DX210 base station is installed in the front studio of the bus. The director, video switcher, and possibly the camera operator (if the broadcast is taking place onboard) are all located in this same space, while the audio technician is situated in the middle studio of the bus. For external live broadcasts, the DX210 base station is placed at the front-of-house position. Regardless of setup, the majority of the crew members utilize the BP210 beltpacks in conjunction with the video switcher on the Clear-Com WH210 all-in-one wireless headset. The DX210's external audio input permits crew members to take the program output of their broadcast and feed it into the intercom so that they can hear the program as well as their cues.
In addition to recording musical performances, the bus' onboard engineers teach students how to write, perform, record and produce original songs. Students also learn to produce and shoot music videos and documentaries as well as complete a broadcast-quality music video. In addition, they are trained to operate and manage the production equipment, including using the DX210 intercom to communicate with one another, the professional assistant, and producers instructing them.
