GTM
The GTM combines the multiple functions required for the interfacing and communications required in eSports tournaments into one simple to use device. GTM provides the interface for the gamers, provides the intercom mix, and allows remote control by tournament engineers. There are separate modes that also mean the GTM can be used by the Coaches, Referees, and arena Announcers.The GTM is available in a stripped down version, with no direct top panel controls, for system integrators
Top Panel MixerThe top panel contains three level controls for the user to adjust their desired mix into their headphones from the following sources:GAME: This is the stereo level of the game audioTEAM: This is the overall level of the team comms channelME: This is the level of the users own voice in their headphonesLarge controls allow for quick and easy adjustments and a multicolour LED ring around the control indicates the level positionEach control is also a push button that can be used for future developments.
Game Audio SourceFor compatibility with multiple tournaments and gaming platforms, there are 5 options of sources for the stereo game audio on the rear panel, which are routed to the GAME headphone level control. Source
SPDIF A stereo digital optical TOSLink connectionAUX IN An analogue stereo input on a 3.5mm (1/8") jack socketUSB Stereo USB audio input on a USB C connectionDANTE Two single channel sources are available from the network
Multi Channel Mix Sources
DanteFrom the Dante/AES67 network there are 3 stereo inputs available. These can be mixed to 2 channel stereo using the separate GlenController Remote app. Each stereo pair also has a balance control.Typically only a single stereo pair is used for the game audio, but the further inputs allow for future options and flexibility.
HD-SDI (option)The optional HD-SDI connection is de-embedded to provide 4 pairs of stereo audio sources. These can be mixed to 2 channel stereo using the separate GlenController Remote app. Each stereo pair has a balance control. Typically only a single stereo pair is used for the game audio, but the further. inputs allow for future options and flexibility.The HD-SDI signal is looped out so the GTM can be used inline of the video signal.Team Mixer
The top panel TEAM pot adjusts the level of the Team Group Mix to the user.
The GTM has an internal mixer that generates a team group mix between all members of the same team. This allows all members of the team to be able to communicate with each other.
There is a multi input, Dante/AES67 mixer controllable via GlenController that sets the levels of all audio being mixed to the GTM TEAM pot of 1 of 7 teams. Typically this is just a mono mix of the 6 other team members but there are also further sources available:
Front Panel Connections
There are options of connections on the front panel for the user of the GTM
Headset Connection - 3.5mm (1/8" jack socket) TRRSThis allows connection of a typical gaming headset using a single jack for the headphones and microphone. 2.5v or 5v bias can be selected.Mic Input - 3 Pin XLRFor connecting a professional broadcast grade microphone using a separate 3 pin XLR plug. The input is dynamic with selectable 48v phantom power. A high performance mic compressor is selectable at 3 levels.
Headphone OutputThe headphone output is available in parallel via a 3.75mm (1/4") and a 2.5mm (1/8") jack sockets.Two Headphone AmplifiersThe two headphone outputs and the headset output use independent headphone amplifiers. The game audio and/or pink noise can be mixed to each output independently. See the remote control page for further info.
Rear Panel ConnectionsSourcesThe multiple input sources for the game monitoring are available via the rear panel. The input source can be selected via the push button. This can be locked to prevent local access if required.
Mic GainThe mic input gain can be adjusted via the rear panel pushbuttons. This can be locked to prevent local access if required.
Phantom Power & Bias48V phantom power can be selected, or if using the headset, 2.5V or 5V bias can be used.
Network ConnectionTwo network connections are available so a redundant network can be available if required for backup. The GTM is powered via PoE from the network switch or via a midspan PoE injector.
HD-SDI (option)The HD-SDI input is looped through, so the GTM can be used inline of the video signal. HD-SDI is an option and not on the standard GTM.
Game Integrity Features
Background Audio GuardThe GTM has introduced the Background Audio Guard facility that allows reduction of the background noise by up to 40dB. There is separate gating at 34 different frequencies, to prevent unwanted arena noise from entering the mic and being shared across the team talk mix and the gamers own headset. This reduces the possibility of any team gaining a competitive advantage from overhearing a potential advantageous comment leaking from the mic input.
Virgil D2P
The D2P is a headphone monitoring solution when two users sit next to each other and need to monitor one or two stereo sources. The two stereo sources come from the Dante/AES67 network and can be mixed for monitoring. Each of the stereo inputs can be routed to either headphone amp or both. This allows the users of a D2P to share the same stereo mix, or just monitor an induvial stereo input each. Each user also has their own mute button.
The D2P features Glensound’s auto impedance load balancing system to allow consistent gain ranges across the pot when using headphones between 32-1000 ohms.
Beatrice B4+ Single User 4 Channel Belt Pack Dante/AES67 Intercom

Bolero Wireless Intercom – Standalone versions
Integrated, Standalone Link & Standalone ST 2110 (AES67) mode.
As an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting up to 250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment, Bolero is a true game-changer. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as its ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multi-diversity and anti-reflection technology for greater RF robustness, “Touch&Go” NFC beltpack registration, and versatile operation as a wireless beltpack, a wireless keypanel, or — in an industry first — a walkie-talkie.
With the addition of the newest Bolero Standalone 2110 (AES67) mode, there are now three network modes available for Bolero systems – each of them dedicated to specific applications.
Bolero Integrated leverages the powerful Artist ecosystem, including SmartPanels and extensive I/O connectivity, and runs over a standards-based SMPTE 2110-30 (AES67) IP network. Decentralized Bolero antennas connect to AES67-capable switches and to Artist frames equipped with AES67 client cards, providing a fully integrated point-to-point seamless handover intercom ecosystem. With each decentralized antenna and beltpack added, coverage and network robustness are increased. Up to 250 beltpacks per Bolero Net are now supported.
Bolero Standalone Link provides plug & play simplicity that is ideal for smaller installations, portable deployments, or cases where IP networks are not required. Up to 100 antennas and 100 beltpacks can be quickly and easily set up and configured via a web browser, without the need for an Artist Intercom matrix since audio mixing and all control functions are handled by the antennas. Antennas may be positioned in a redundant ring or daisy chain topology, or deployed individually using CAT5 cabling. With the optional EPS-1005 power supply, up to five antennas can be powered and adding multiple PSUs creates a redundant power ring. Finally, an NSA-002A stream adapter is used to interface Bolero with other intercom systems via analog 4-wire and provide GPIOs for convenient external device handling.
Similarly, Bolero Standalone 2110 (AES67) lets users establish IP-based Bolero networks without the need for an Artist matrix. The antennas are distributed over a SMPTE 2110-30 (AES67) IP network and connected via AES67 PoE switches. As in Standalone Link deployments, audio mixing and control functions are handled by the antennas and 100 beltpacks can be accommodated per Bolero Net and configured via a web browser. An optional NSA-002A provides analogue interfacing and GPIOs and fiber-connected switches or switch cascades can be used to cover long distances.
The Bolero high-clarity voice codec provides both higher speech intelligibility and more efficient use of RF spectrum supporting twice the number of beltpacks per antenna for the same radio bandwidth as other DECT-based systems. The Riedel-exclusive ADR technology combines a unique receiver design with multiple diversity elements specifically designed to reduce sensitivity to multipath reflections, making Bolero useable in challenging RF environments where other systems have great difficulty.
The beltpack itself features six intercom channels and a separate “Reply” button for a quick reply to the last caller. Bolero’s sunlight readable and dimmable display can be rotated so that it is readable in any orientation. Also, in an industry first, the beltpack can be used without a headset like a walkie-talkie radio utilizing an integrated mic and speaker. Bolero beltpacks support Bluetooth, allowing either a Bluetooth headset or a Smartphone to be connected. When a Smartphone is connected, the beltpack can act like a car’s “hands free” setup so the user can receive calls on their phone and talk and listen via their beltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly into the intercom channels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility.
Based on Riedel’s extensive rental experience, the beltpack uses a combination of premium materials, including high-impact plastics and rubber overmolds, making it both tough and comfortable to use in any situation.
