Hollyland SOLIDCOM C1 Overview

The Hollyland Solidcom C1-8S is an advanced full-duplex wireless DECT intercom system that offers seamless audio clarity and ergonomic design for comfortable, all-day wear. This system is a true-wireless solution, meaning no extra bodypack or central hub is necessary. Instead, it includes eight single-sided headsets—one master unit and seven remote units. It also includes rechargeable batteries, a charging station, and essential accessories in addition to the headsets. The Solidcom C1-8S leverages DECT 6.0 encryption and a dual-antenna setup to guarantee secure and uninterrupted communication, extending its usability up to 1000 feet. This design makes it a robust option for diverse, communication-intensive environments such as film production, concerts, and large public events.

True-Wireless Self-Contained Headset for Effortless 2-Way Communication

Designed with complete portability and convenience in mind, the Solidcom C1-8S eliminates the need for a beltpack or base station. This allows for hands-free, easy-to-manage communication, perfect for media production crews, event staff, and other professionals who need reliable, real-time voice interactions. Even in socially distanced settings, this system can operate effectively at ranges of up to 1000 feet, offering full-duplex communication without interference or obstructions.

Enhanced stability and security through DECT 6.0 technology

Built upon the secure DECT 6.0 technology, the Solidcom C1-8S combines encryption protocols with a dual-antenna diversity design to enhance signal stability and protect conversations. DECT 6.0 not only offers secure encryption to prevent eavesdropping but also enables a larger user capacity, supporting more headsets on a single communication channel without compromising on quality. This feature ensures robust, interference-free connections, especially important for confidential or crowded operational environments.

Wideband Frequency Response for Precise, Clear Audio Coordination

The Solidcom C1-8S system delivers a wide frequency response range of 150 Hz to 7 kHz. Paired with high-grade acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), this frequency range captures clear and natural-sounding audio, ensuring effective communication even in loud or busy surroundings. The directional microphone on the headset precisely picks up the user’s voice while filtering out unwanted background noises, further enhancing voice clarity for more productive team coordination.

Ready to Use Right Out of the Box

User-friendly and intuitive, the Solidcom C1-8S headsets automatically pair upon setup, making them ready for immediate use. With tactile volume controls, adjustments are quick and straightforward. The microphone boom arm on each headset rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing users to position it comfortably on either the left or right side. Additionally, rotating the boom up or down mutes the microphone instantly, while an LED indicator lets users know the system status and alerts them when the battery is low.

Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.

Each headset in the Solidcom C1-8S system weighs less than 6 ounces—lighter than most smartphones—ensuring maximum comfort, even with prolonged use. Constructed from high-quality PC-ABS material, the headsets offer flexibility and durability while maintaining a comfortable fit. Each headset features interchangeable ear cushions, including both on-ear foams and over-ear cushions, to accommodate varying user preferences and facilitate easy replacements for hygienic sharing.

The battery is both rechargeable and replaceable, and it comes with a convenient charging station.

The headsets operate on single rechargeable batteries. Battery life varies depending on the number of connected headsets; the master headset lasts approximately 5 hours when connected to 5 remote units and up to 6 hours when connected to 3. Each remote headset, however, provides up to 10 hours of operation per charge. The included battery charging station, USB cable, and AC adapter enable rapid and efficient recharging, with each battery reaching a full charge in just 2.5 hours.

Expandable System for Larger Communication Needs

With its recent firmware update, the Solidcom C1-8S now allows for a fully expandable system. Users can link up to seven remote headsets directly to the master headset without requiring a hub. For larger setups, an optional C1 HUB base is available separately, supporting up to eight simultaneous headsets. You can cascade three hubs using a standard RJ45 cable for even larger-scale coordination, accommodating up to 24 headsets. Additionally, the HUB base adds advanced features, including A/B grouping for team separation and an “announce” button that mutes all other headsets, allowing the hub operator to make priority announcements.

This combination of advanced features, robust security, and user-friendly design makes the Hollyland Solidcom C1-8S an ideal communication solution for any professional setting requiring clear, hands-free, and long-range audio communication.
