The new LaON Genie, the “industry’s first” converted digital intercom system, has been adopted by the Spanish broadcaster Visual Media Broadcast (VMB)

The broadcast services provider is the first European user of the solution, which in this particular case comprises a base station, several repeaters, 16 beltpacks and various accessories. Nonetheless, the GENIE system allows six remote antennas, 60 speaker stations (1RU panels with gooseneck mics and eight direct talk buttons), 60 Ethernet beltpacks (wired beltpacks with four direct talk buttons) or 60 repeaters to be connected to a base station using PoE and offering 128 wireless beltpack connections at the same time

According to Broadcast Solutions, broadcasters throughout Spain are demanding LaON systems. Recently, Grupo ESA Sports acquired a LT750 LaON system for use in all its sports productions in the north of Spain.

LaON GENIE is distributed in Spain exclusively by Broadcast Solutions.
