Audio fed into the audio input shows up at the output, potentially causing a feedback loop. If you need simultaneous 2 way operation, the Beltpack Breakout Box might be a better choice depending on your situation.

Past reviews for both interfaces:
"Lonnie, I received your card and just wanted to say that I appreciate the personal touch! The product I ordered has been great, we use it for putting our comms system into IFBs for our pre-service hosts. It's been a huge help! "

- Nate Shelton, Production Director - ONE.CHURCH


"It's Awesome."

- Benoit Richard, LD - Matchbox Twenty


"I have been using Benoit Richards interface all summer and absolutely love and definitely needed one of my own. Thanks for providing such a great product!"

- Michael Zielinski, LD - Counting Crows


"Many thanks to Lonnie at AV lifesavers. As a lighting designer, being on an in ear mix is imperative to the timing of a show. Lonnie's little box of wonders has allowed me to merge com audio into my ears, basically creating my own little bubble for the show. I do not miss jumping between volume controls on my ear pack and com pack. It is now one.

- James Spilsbury, Lighting Designer
Gordon Lightfoot Finger 11 I Mother Earth Big Sugar


"Hi Lonnie, Our Lighting Director has found this interface to be extremely useful and he is often disappointed in rare situations where it can't be used!! So, needless to say it is working perfectly and providing him with just what he needs to put on a flawless show. Thanks again!"

- Scott Koopmann - Chicago


"Working great! Thanks!"

- Andy Rushing - ASR Light Design, Nashville TN


"Lonnie, It is GREAT to hear from you and happy 2018. The intercom interfaces have been working great, as we use them all the time on tour. I am most likely going to invest in the version with attenuators on them as it would be SUPER nice to adjust the volume as needed."

- Christian Hahn - Forge Designs, Fishers IN


"Hi Lonnie, Thanks for checking in! The interface is working great. It does exactly what I want it to do and has had no issues at all. I'm happy with how well the box is built. Thanks again, I'm keeping an eye on your site in case something else fun and useful comes up! All the best, Andrew."

- Andrew Froehlich - Lighting Designer (The Struts, Young the Giant) - Nashville TN


"Hi Lonnie, It is working out perfectly! Thank you for making such an awesome product. We will be sure to reach out to you in the future with any other needs we have."

- Luke Amble, Production Manager - Casas Church, Tucson, AZ.


"The Intercom Audio Interface is an elegant solution to a common problem; it works flawlessly with our com system! This has allowed us to add com chatter to our game tape that we review in order to improve our production quality. Thanks for making such a quality product, it really is an AVL lifesaver!"

- Sean Smallman, Production Director - Rocky Mountain Christian Church, Niwot, CO.


"Hey Lonnie, It's been great and I will be getting another one or two soon! Thanks so much! Rick"

- Rick Clark, Director of Production Arts - Presbyterian Church at New Providence, New Providence NJ.


"It's going well! We have a four channel Intercom shared between two venues on site.

We have your interfaces set up going into the console in each room on separate channels, routed to an Aux out so it is discrete into the band's ears. Very very helpful.

We are also running Unity Intercom and bridging that to the wired Intercom using Studio Tech's 45DC device (over Dante). So with it all together, with your interface, I can talk to my band's in-ears from anywhere in the world. :)

Thanks for checking in!"

- Joseph Adams, Worship Technology Director - Fellowship Greenville church, Greenville SC.


"Hey Lonnie, The interface is spot on! We're about to try integrating 2-way radios into our existing ClearCom system as well. It should be interesting to see if that creates problems down the road, but for now, it's seamless! "

- Chris McDonald, Production Director - Pine Lake Church


"Lonnie, I just picked up your "intercom audio interface" and it is working perfectly. We are leveraging your device to create a teaching tool for training camera directors at our church. Our setup is quite simple: I have routed clearcom audio (via your device) to one channel of a dedicated record deck and program audio to the other channel.

With this solution in place, we can both create example footage to volunteers of how to effectively direct camera shots, or utilize this recording to identify and address specific areas a volunteer can develop in their craft.

One such issue I am hoping this tool will address is excessive chatter on intercom. Too much chatter causes the entire team to not engage with the service causing missed moments and avoidable mistakes. Reviewing one's work is a powerful tool for personal development. Your interface makes creating this training platform so easy, so thank you for what you do!"

- Steve Simmons, Technical Director - Perimeter Church (John's Creek, GA)


"Lonnie, I was using on a show this week. Works fantastic!"

- Anthony Young - Alpharetta GA


"It works great. We used it for a backstage monitor for a show in November. I'll be using it again next month. We are very satisfied! Thanks!"

- Tim Harris - Music on Main LLC - Albemarle NC


"Hey Lonnie, It's been great so far! It's changed how I work and it's given me a lot more options for staying focused on my primary task, but also allowing me to hear what's happening on intercom without having to take out my in-ears or put on bulky headsets. It's also given me tons of options to give stage hands intercom feeds without the issue of wireless intercom being bulky and expensive. I'm looking forward to using it even more! Thank you for reaching out personally and I'll be sure to let you know if I ever have any issues. You've earned yourself a lifelong customer!"

- Jonathon Stricklin - Gallatin TN


"Hello Lonnie, The device I purchased from you is working flawlessly. I'm very thrilled with its performance."

- Randall Tucker - Reedley CA


"I thoroughly enjoyed the interface I used. I don't know if the music director ever used her com setup, but I sure did. I set the com audio out to feed a channel on my CL5 and my talkback mic to double to a channel that I sent direct out to the com audio in. That way I could use one tb mic for com and band communications, and one headset was set to always listen to com, unless I had a channel cued up. It was perfect, and something that I will use from now on."

- Allan Branson, Resident Sound Designer and Supervisor, Arkansas Repertory Theatre


"They worked great for us. I am using the Output only to strip audio from com for recording. The Input/Output I used to replace a Clearcom IF4B. Once a year we do a live broadcast of an Opera to AT&T Park. I have a laptop and your device with Skype at the Park and NewTek VS100 Skype TX interface with an IF4W4 at the Opera to connect Clearcom from each venue, allowing our Stage managers at each venue to communicate."

- Douglas Mitchell, Audio/Video Engineer, San Francisco Opera


"It worked perfectly for what we were doing. Well made, solid device."

- Mark Torchia, Technical Director, Brookfield Property Partners


" They work great! I'll send you some pictures of my setup next week!"

- Max Lenox, Freelance Lighting Director


"Hi Lonnie, Interface arrived in record time and have had a chance to test it out with my Audiocom SPS2000A power supply (set to balanced) and a bunch of Telex BP-1000 belt packs as well as a Sound Devices MixPre-d for audio in and out. It sounds fantastic. The pots for levels in and out are clean and bring the level in and out of the intercom system smoothly and with a full DB range. The build quality of the box itself is excellent. I'm a happy camper and just want to say thanks a bunch for making a fine product that works very well and for getting it to me so quickly. All the best."

- Scott Anderson, Location Sound Mixer based out of Austin, contactscott.com


"Just wanted to let you know that I've used your clear com box multiple times and it's been awesome. Perfect to give our video guys a feed of our lead singer and some band."

- Andrew Neisch (Bryan, TX)


"Hi Lonnie, we actually just recently got it integrated, and it's working great! Thank you for the follow up and the great product."

- Nathan Tobin (Christ Church, Fairview Heights, IL )


"I've been enjoying the interface. Clean, clear audio. Love it! Thanks, Mike".

- Michael Siefert, Watermark Church, Plano TX
