Clear-Com CLCM-LQ-2W2 2-Channel Partyline IP Interface

The Clear-Com LQ-2W2 solves a persistent challenge in broadcast and live production: getting partyline intercom reliably from one point to another when a dedicated copper intercom run isn't feasible. By bridging 2 channels of 2-wire partyline over IP — LAN, WAN, or the public Internet — the LQ-2W2 transforms existing network infrastructure into an intercom transport. The OPUS codec at its core isn't incidental; OPUS was purpose-built for low-latency voice transmission and adjusts its bit rate dynamically, which means the unit doesn't simply fail when bandwidth fluctuates — it adapts. For multi-venue events, remote broadcast workflows, or campuses where running dedicated intercom cable is cost-prohibitive, this capability is the entire value proposition.

Physically, the LQ-2W2 occupies a half-rack footprint and draws power entirely via PoE, which means installation is a single Ethernet run to a PoE switch — no AC wiring, no wall warts. The two Neutrik etherCON ports provide the locking, roadworthy connectivity that production environments demand. Configuration through Clear-Com's browser-based CCM tool is accessible from any device, and adding or removing units from a system is an editing operation rather than a hardware reconfiguration. With support for up to 6 linked units covering both partyline and 4-wire connections, a modest deployment can address the intercom needs of a mid-sized broadcast facility or touring production without reaching the system ceiling.
