Clear-Com will showcase a full line up of intercom innovations for broadcast professionals at IBC2025. On display will be the latest addition to the FreeSpeak wireless family, the FreeSpeak Icon beltpack, the adaptable Arcadia Central Station, and new enhancements to Clear-Com’s virtual intercom portfolio.
The FreeSpeak Icon beltpack, released earlier this year, delivers robust wireless performance on 1.9GHz (DECT). With nine programmable buttons, four channel volume controls and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, it supports fast-paced broadcast environments where communication clarity is critical. The beltpack integrates easily with both the Arcadia and Eclipse HX systems, enabling large-scale production teams to communicate with clarity and efficiency. Its intuitive interface and design make it suitable for everything from OB vans to multi-studio operations.
The Arcadia Central Station serves as Clear-Com’s IP-based intercom powerhouse for hybrid wired and wireless deployments across complex broadcast operations. With the latest firmware release, Arcadia supports up to 32 V-Series IrisX panels, giving production teams greater capacity and control. The system also allows for dynamic reallocation of I.V. Port resources, meaning users can flex Arcadia configuration to meet their own requirements for specific channel requirements and broader interconnectivity.
Clear-Com will also feature its virtual intercom suite including Gen-IC, Agent-IC and Station-IC, which empower hybrid and remote teams to collaborate without sacrificing audio quality or reliability. Gen-IC will also be showcased with new integration options and expanded functionality. Attendees can also explore the EHX v14 software release, which simplifies configurations and enhances IP-based communication.
“With FreeSpeak Icon and Arcadia, we’re giving broadcast teams tools that match the speed, complexity and precision of modern productions” said Kari Eythorsson, product manager at Clear-Com. “From multi-crew sports coverage to live studio shoots, these solutions are engineered to keep teams in sync and in control.”
