Esplanade Enhances Communications System With Clear-Com

Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, Singapore's national performing arts center has enhanced their production intercom system with Clear-Com digital solutions.

The center upgrades its existing partyline intercom system with the HelixNet Digital Partyline system, as well as installed an Eclipse HX Median and Eclipse HX PiCo Digital Matrix Intercom Systems. The project was supported by Clear-Com's local partner, Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd.

Performance communications is an important element in Esplanade's daily operations, ensuring that all show cues are executed accurately on time and that the performances run smoothly. The existing partyline system was producing constant 'hum' and 'buzz' noises that are inherent in typical analog systems. The noise was audible and at times, affected the quality of some of the quieter performances, so the decision was made to replace the system with a digital solution.

The newly installed HelixNet and Eclipse HX system also integrates seamlessly with Esplanade’s FreeSpeak wireless intercom system. In combination, the Clear-Com solution enables crisp and clean communication throughout the facility, which comprises the Esplanade Concert Hall, Theatre, Recital Studio and Theatre Studio.

"We are delighted to be able to provide a communications system that the team at Esplanade is pleased with," said Edmund Song, Regional Sales Manager, South Asia Pacific at Clear-Com. "Both the Eclipse HX and HelixNet systems have proven to be very popular with those that require a simple yet effective digital communication system, and the seamless integration between Eclipse and the existing FreeSpeak wireless intercom system provide numerous user benefits for years to come."
