The Glensound BEATRICE B2 is an ultra compact, robust, portable two channel beltpack intercom designed for broadcast, theatre and professional audio applications.
It is part of our Beatrice intercom system that utilises the reliable and proven Dante network audio transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across standard ethernet networks. As such the BEATRICE B2 is also fully compatible with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante protocol. It is also AES67 compliant.
This small beltpack was designed to be very easy to use for the operator and simple to set up for the technician. It includes all the basic functionality required for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements normally associated with large systems.
