Tempest delivers a more reliable radio link than other wireless intercoms. Tempest is proving its reliability daily all over the planet in many various environments. Analog UHF wireless intercoms are becoming harder to use due to shrinking spectrum and increased competition for frequencies. Other digital wireless systems suffer from weak RF design and multipath interference susceptibility. In either case, noise, reduced range and/or drop-outs make these systems virtually unusable in many applications.

Proper antenna placement is the most important factor in maximizing RF performance. Whether using a Tempest BaseStation with one or two antennas or are remote transceiver, correct antenna placement can mean the difference between acceptable or great RF performance. Locate antennas above head level, away from metal obstructions. Locate omni-directional antennas in the center of the coverage area. Locate directional antennas on the edge of the coverage area pointing across it.

Tempest Belt Stations have wireless ISO. Wireless ISO lets a Belt Station user talk only to other wireless belts on their channel. When enabled, a Belt Station user can push the Enter button to activate Wireless ISO. This enables the user’s Microphone and routes the audio to all other wireless Belt Stations on the active channel. The wireless user’s audio does not go to the hardwired intercom for as long as the Enter button is pressed. This feature is great for stage managers and other situations where “offline” conversations are necessary. Tempest gives you the tools to get the job done!

Tempest two channel BeltStations have two different modes of operation. In Dual listen mode you hear both intercom channels A and B with individual volume control for each. You can also use one, the other, or both Talk buttons at the same time. This is similar to how the four channel BeltStations work now. In A or B Listen mode you hear either channel A or channel B one at a time, but not both. Pushing the appropriate knob button switches to that channel. No matter the application, Tempest two channel BeltStations work the way you do.

Tempest BeltStations are rugged, reliable and weather resistant. Tempest BeltStations are specifically designed to handle the extreme conditions found in many production environments. The design is a result of extensive drop survivability testing and analysis. BeltStations are constructed of a strong, lightweight ABS co-polymer blend with a high performance polyurethane over-mold for added shock resistance. In addition, special mechanical and electrical attention was given to weather proofing. Connectors are protected by a snug fitting, captive rubber cover.

Tempest works well right up to the end of range and then declines gracefully. Competing digital wireless intercoms sound choppy, distorted and have loud cracks and pops as they near the end of their range. This can be very frustrating to the user and can actually be painful. Tempest uses advanced FHSS, 2xTX redundant audio data transmission, and Lost Packet Concealment technology to ensure the end user never hears loud pops or cracks as they reach the end of range. This is a big problem with other systems, but with Tempest you’ll never have to worry about it!
