The Hollyland MARS T1000 is a full-duplex wireless intercom system designed for professional communication in various production environments such as studios, stage events, EFP (Electronic Field Production), webcasting, and filmmaking. It utilizes DECT protocol technology to provide reliable and high-quality voice communication.

Function Description:

The MARS T1000 system consists of a base station and up to four beltpacks, enabling simultaneous full-duplex communication. The base station acts as the central hub, connecting to external audio systems and managing communication with the beltpacks. Beltpacks are portable units worn by users, allowing them to communicate with the base station and other connected beltpacks. The system supports both dynamic and electret microphones, which can be switched via the menu settings. A key feature is its ability to extend communication range and increase the number of beltpacks by connecting to other audio systems through its 4-pin audio interface. The system also includes TALLY features, which can be enabled with an optional universal signal converter.
