Hollyland releases Solidcom SE Pro: Enhanced wireless intercom

Hollyland's Solidcom SE Pro promises enhanced wireless communication with stable connectivity, noise reduction, and flexible usage, making it a good shout for film production.

The Solidcom SE Pro is an upgraded version of the Solidcom SE and the company says it offers comprehensive enhancements in communication stability, noise reduction technology, and user experience.

It uses the 1.9GHz frequency band for stable communication with ultra-low latency and strong anti-interference capabilities. This is, of course, crucial in film production, particularly in outdoor or complex environments, where reliable communication is essential. High-quality sound and ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) features ensure clear communication even in noisy settings, while it can support up to eleven users and features a multi-channel full-duplex system, allowing directors, cinematographers, lighting technicians, sound engineers, and other crew members to communicate simultaneously. 

It boasts a reliable communication range of up to 400 meters, while an omnidirectional antenna allows for both forward and reverse wearing without affecting communication distance. That 1.9GHz frequency band and Hollyland's advanced Auto Frequency Hopping technology promises to minimise interference from other devices.

Usefully, the Solidcom SE Pro's USB-C port can be connected to a 3.5mm headset using Hollyland's USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. This setup allows users to wear the Solidcom SE Pro headset around their neck, speaking into the microphone while using the 3.5mm headset to listen to audio. This flexible headphone usage accommodates various user preferences and situations, addressing the issues of discomfort and headaches caused by wearing over-ear headphones for extended periods. Not that there should be too many of those; the headset is lightweight, weighing less than 186 grams (6.56 oz).

Those extended periods are possible thanks to the swappable battery system and USB-C charging. Users can easily replace the battery or connect to a power bank, eliminating worries about running out of power.
