OVERVIEW
The BEATRICE LUCIA allows Dante and 2 Wire intercom units to communicate with one another and is
available in 1 and 2 module versions. Each module can be set to interface with either the Clear-Com or
RTS single channel party-line (two wire) intercom standard or the RTS two audio channel partyline
standard.
It is part of the BEATRICE range of IP intercoms designed for broadcast, theatre and professional audio
applications.
Our Beatrice intercom system utilises the reliable and proven DanteTM network audio transmission
protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across standard networks. As such the
BEATRICE LUCIA is fully compatible with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante protocol. The
Beatrice LUCIA is also AES67 compliant.
All units in the system are designed to be very easy to use for the operator and simple to setup for the
technician. They includes all the basic functionality required for small intercom systems and none of the
overly complex installation requirements normally associated with large systems.
The name Beatrice was chosen for our intercom range as she was the love of Dante Alighieri:
‘Dante had fallen in love with another, Beatrice Portinari (known as Bice),
whom he first met when he was only nine.’ Source Wikipedia.
