Crew talkback,
over LAN.

KonduktoINTERCOM is push-to-talk crew comms for stage, video, lighting and FOH teams. Same LAN, same low-latency engine that powers Kondukto. No internet. No monthly fees. No belt-pack rental.

Built for

One LAN, the whole crew on comms.

If your team already runs Windows or Mac laptops on the same network, you have an intercom. KonduktoINTERCOM turns those laptops into stations.

Conference AV

FOH, video, lights, stage manager and the agency producer all on one channel. Cue calls, mic checks, "speaker is ready in green room" — without screaming across the hall.

SM · FOH · LX · VID · Producer

Video village

Director, switcher, graphics, replay — talkback between control room positions without a dedicated intercom matrix and 200m of XLR.

DIR · TD · GFX · REPLAY

Theatre & live shows

SM, ASM, fly, deck, LX, sound — group channels per department, conference channel for cue calls. Light enough to run on the laptops the crew already brought.

How it works

Stations + channels. Same LAN. Push to talk.

The same architecture as Kondukto — auto-discovery on the local network — adapted for low-latency audio.

01

Open INTERCOM, pick a name

Each crew member launches the app on their laptop and types a station name (SM, FOH, LX1, VID-OPS). Auto-discovery finds the rest of the crew on the LAN in seconds.

mDNS · WebSocket signaling · LAN only
02

Pick a channel — or several

SHOW MAIN, BACKSTAGE, VIDEO, LIGHTING — each station can join multiple channels and listen on all of them simultaneously. Latch a channel as the talk target.

multi-channel · per-channel mute · solo
03

Push the spacebar — talk

Hold the configured PTT key (or footswitch) and your voice goes to every other station on that channel. Release — back to listening. Latch mode for hands-free hot mic positions.

Opus 24 kbps · < 30 ms LAN · footswitch / hotkey
Planned features

Everything a touring intercom does — minus the rack.

This is what the v1.0 launch will ship with. Roadmap below for what comes after.

Push-to-talk + latch

Hold key for momentary, double-tap for latch. Configurable per channel, per station. Works with USB / Bluetooth footswitches.

Auto-discovery

Stations find each other via mDNS on the LAN. No IP addresses, no server to set up. Manual fallback for locked corporate networks.

Multi-channel groups

Define SHOW, VIDEO, LIGHTING, BACKSTAGE etc. Each station joins what it needs. Listen on all, talk to one — like a real talkback matrix.

Per-channel mix

Independent input gain, output volume and mute per channel per station. The SM hears every channel; FOH only hears MAIN — no mental overload.

Zero internet

Audio stays on the LAN. No cloud server, no telemetry, nothing leaves the venue. Works in air-gapped corporate venues out of the box.

Stage announcements

One station can broadcast to all other stations regardless of channel — for "places everyone" cue calls and emergency overrides.

Indicators on stage

Each station shows a "MIC LIVE" red dot when its PTT is held and a "ON AIR" badge when the next stations is talking — so the SM knows who is on air at a glance.

Session log

CSV log of joins, drops, channel switches and PTT events with timestamps. Postmortem for the producer, evidence for "who said what when".

Windows + macOS

Same UI, same protocol on both. Mix freely — Windows FOH talking to macOS video village to Windows lighting desk.

vs hardware intercom

Beltpacks & matrices have their place. So does this.

For dedicated touring infrastructure, a wired intercom is still the gold standard. For everyone else — conferences, corporate events, small theatre — software-on-laptops covers 95% of the use cases.

Hardware intercom (Clear-Com / RTS / Riedel) KonduktoINTERCOM
Setup time 2–4 hours · cabling, addressing, matrix config Under 5 minutes — install, name, join channel
Hardware needed Beltpacks, headsets, base station, matrix, cables Crew laptops + headsets the crew already owns
Cost per show Rental: 100–400 EUR per beltpack per day Owned license · 0 EUR per show after purchase
Coverage Limited to cabled / RF range Anywhere on the venue's WiFi or LAN
Latency Excellent (~10 ms wired) Very good (< 30 ms over LAN, ~50 ms WiFi)
Mobility Belt-pack only Any laptop on the LAN
Adding a new crew member Spare beltpack + addressing Install app, type name, done

Closed alpha

Want to test it on your next show?

We're running a closed alpha with conference AV teams running Windows + macOS mixed setups. If that's you, leave your email — we'll send a build, a setup guide, and ask for honest feedback. No marketing, no follow-ups.

By submitting you agree to receive one (1) email with the alpha build. We don't share your email with anyone.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Public beta in Q3 2026, full v1.0 launch in Q4 2026. Pricing announced at beta. Closed alpha open today — apply above.
Wired analog intercom is ~10 ms. We measure under 30 ms end-to-end on a switched LAN, ~50 ms on average venue WiFi. For cue calls, mic checks, and crew chatter that's indistinguishable. For close-coupled musical cues you still want analog.
For touring rock'n'roll — no. For corporate events, conferences, smaller theatre and any show where the crew is already on laptops — yes. We're aiming for 95% of those use cases at a fraction of the rental cost.
Use a dedicated 5 GHz crew SSID with QoS — same as you'd do for any pro AV-over-IP. We auto-detect packet loss and switch to a more robust Opus profile. For critical positions (FOH, video village) wired Ethernet is still recommended.
Yes — Q4 2026. A gateway that bridges a KonduktoINTERCOM channel onto a 4-wire / Clear-Com matrix port, so software stations can talk to belt-pack users. Audio interface needed.
Not in v1.0. iOS and Android are on the post-launch roadmap, but we want desktop rock-solid first. Background audio + reliable PTT on mobile is a separate engineering problem and we don't want to ship it half-baked.
