The Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro is a wireless intercom headset system designed for efficient communication on film sets, live shows, and other events. It operates in the 1.9GHz band and offers a claimed operating range of up to 350 metres. This new model is an upgrade to the successful Hollyland Solidcom C1 system, which was known for its good audio quality, ease of use, and comfort.
The kit comes with:
- 1x Master headset
- 3x Remote headsets
- 1x Charging case
- 4x Over-ear leather cushion
- 8x battery
- 4x Microphone cushion
- 1x DC adapter
- 4x On-ear leather cushion
- 1x USB-Type A to USB-C cable
- 1x Storage case
Comfort is a priority when it comes to choosing headsets, and the Solidcom C1 Pro delivers. The headset is designed to be worn for long periods without discomfort. The padded coverings and adjustable ear covers contribute to a comfortable fit. The reversible design allows users to wear the headsets on either the left or right ear.
The system comes with eight batteries, providing spare batteries for extended use. The batteries can be charged externally using the included multi-port charger. Each battery takes approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge and offers up to 10 hours of runtime for remote headsets and 5-6 hours for the master headset. So with eight batteries for four headsets there is more than enough power to get through even a long shoot day.
The controls on the headset are straightforward and easy to use. The on/off switch is located on the edge of the headphone, while the side of the headset houses buttons for volume control, muting the microphone, and activating environmental noise cancellation (ENC). The ENC feature helps reduce background noise for clearer communication in noisy environments.
The master headset is necessary for the system to work and the headsets automatically pair upon turning them on. The microphone can be muted either by pulling it up or by using the dedicated mute button. However, an audible indication for muting would have been helpful.
The audio quality of the Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro is very good, allowing effective communication with team members. The ENC feature helps suppress ambient noise, although it doesn't eliminate it entirely.
The Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro wireless intercom headset system offers a reliable and comfortable communication solution for filming in studios or on location. With its user-friendly controls, good audio quality, and comfortable design the overall performance and features make the Solidcom C1 Pro a valuable tool for professionals in need of efficient wireless communication.
