1.2 About Bolero
Bolero Wireless Intercom
The Riedel Bolero Wireless Intercom system is a digital, easy to use full-duplex communications solution for broadcast,
security, industrial and theater applications as well as for sports and cultural events. It is an all-new wireless intercom
system capable of supporting 10 Beltpacks per antenna and up to 100 antennas in a single deployment. Bolero
redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multiple-diversity
and RF anti-reflection technology for greater RF robustness.
Bolero utilizes the benefits of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard’s base layer. This
provides a license-free, cellular architecture with seamless hand-over between cells, allowing each Bolero Wireless
Beltpack to continuously monitor and automatically select the best connection to the Antenna.
Bolero is fully integrated in Riedel’s Artist Matrix. Features like “Touch&Go” Beltpack registration, versatile operation as
a wireless Beltpack, a wireless keypanel, and – in an industry first – a walkie-talkie pushing it beyond the limits of
existing wireless intercom solutions.
Bolero runs over a standards-based AES67 IP network with decentralized antennas connected to AES67 switches and to
Artist frames equipped with AES67 client cards, providing a fully integrated point-to-point roaming intercom
ecosystem. The more decentralized antennas added, the more robust the network becomes. The Bolero high-clarity
voice codec provides both higher speech intelligibility and more efficient use of RF spectrum supporting a higher
number of Beltpacks per antenna in the same audio bandwidth.
The Riedel-exclusive ADR technology, combines a unique receiver design with multiple diversity elements specifically
designed to reduce sensitivity to multipath RF reflections, making Bolero useable in challenging RF environments
where other systems have great difficulty.
The Beltpack features 6 buttons for 6 intercom channels or point to point communications, plus a separate “Reply”
button that easily facilitates a reply to the last person that called. Bolero’s sunlight readable and dimmable display can
be inverted so that it is readable in any orientation. The Beltpack can be used without a headset like a walkie-talkie
radio utilizing an integrated mic and speaker. Bolero Beltpacks support Bluetooth 4.1, allowing a Smartphone to be
connected.
The Beltpack design with a combination of premium materials, including high-impact plastics and rubber overmolds
make it both tough and comfortable to use in any situation.
Light and powerful high performance lithium rechargeable battery packs are used for the Beltpack. Battery packs are
able to charge inside the Beltpack as well as separately in the 5-bay charger.

2Bolero Beltpack
The Bolero Wireless Beltpack is a light and compact, digital station with six individually configurable keys for intercom,
IFB or GPO triggering use. Two rotary level controls on the front of the Beltpack allow volume-control for each key and
menu navigation. Pushing the Talk key toggles talk on/off with momentary or latching operation as well as an Auto
mode that combines both functions in one. Activation is indicated in the display and a button backlit LED. Optional
super bright call LEDs and a vibration motor are able to indicate an incoming call or warnings. The Beltpack features a
sunlight readable color display which by default shows the labels for the six function keys. In addition, the display gives
the user access to the Quick menu and the intuitive configuration menu.
With the new "Touch&Go" beltpack registration a quick and user friendly registration is implemented. Just touch the
Beltpack to the antenna and GO.
The Bolero Wireless Beltpack has a user replaceable XLR connector for headset, a 3.5mm jack for a line-in signal and a
USB port for firmware updates. Bolero Beltpacks support Bluetooth 4.1, allowing a Smartphone to be connected. When
a Smartphone is connected, the Beltpack can act like a car's "hands free" setup so the user can receive calls on their
phone and talk and listen via their Beltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly into the intercom
channels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility. A fully charged Bolero rechargeable Battery allows more than 17
hours of operation. The rugged housing with rubber protectors houses the internal antennas.
