Central Station- wireless remote?!?!

ALifeOfRhyme · 11th October 2008

Does anyone here know how to create/build a wireless system that you could incorporate with the Presonus Central Station.....? I've made a wired talkback button for clients,etc. to use but I'm tired of the "wire" and want to figure out a way to make a wireless button like the big studios with Neve's and SSL's have.....

I didn't see any threads about this.....

ok....
How about this then..... does anyone know how to build a wireless remote transmitter (i.e button) and a receiver to connect to the back of the central station to trigger the talkback.

I've been searching the web but can't find anything useful.
Surely this can be done, no?!?!

Here a schematic of the brainworks tb4:

or you can buy one for ±$500

TB-4

I dunno, I think if you started down this route you might open a whole can of worms that were better off left alone.

the audio travels down the Central Station remote - so I'm not sure how doable this is! UNLESS you made a switching system that operated the host unit...

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Ya, the further I go into this rabbit hole, the more overwhelming it gets.

I think the TB4 is exactly the concept I wanna do but it's pretty pricey for a little button! :-)

You'd think it wouldn't be so tough to do... I mean, the CS already has a 1/4 inch remote talkback input for a secondary wired control..... (which I use now with a switchcraft button). I just want it to be wireless! Is that too much to ask!??!?!

Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted on this.

Don't know if you resolved this, but qkits sells a receiver and transmitter for about $50.

thanks so much for replying...

Actually, I didn't resolve this issue yet. Would this receiver be able to have a 1/4 inch input attached to it so I could use the signal to trigger the talkback ??

If so, could you give me a link to this kit? I went on the site but didn't know where to start looking....

Thanks again for the input, much appreciated!
