HISTORY
PRESENT
Although two-way radio rentals is Production Radio Rental’s most recognizable service, PRR has a significant and distinct reputation among event production coordinators as being uniquely capable of designing and implementing large and complex wireless voice and data communications systems for the entertainment and special event markets. Having the understanding, experience and extensive resources in both the RF communications and entertainment industries, PRR supplies complete solutions to clients that virtually no other organization can match.
Always seeking better solutions to client needs, PRR has designed
and built several proprietary products for both rental inventory and sale:
● The SSAL2 Audio Link, the first full frequency response, line level audio, 2.4GHz wireless transmission
system. Offering a robust, sonically equivalent alternative to hardwire interconnect the SSAL2 is designed
and packaged specifically for the pro audio market;
● The CommCenter, a completely self contained full duplex wired/wireless interface providing a transparent
talk path between two way radios
and wired intercom, telephone or line level four wire audio;
● The ADB series of Antenna Distribution Boosters for combining/splitting multiple wireless intercom base
stations into single, dual or distributed
antennas;
● The Wireless Serial Link, providing wireless control of serial devices by a remote computer. An OEM
product.
