Professional IFB Receiver for Production

The Comtek PR-216 TV 5-6 is a personal monitor receiver built for film, television and live-event crews. It delivers high-fidelity audio monitoring for directors, boom operators and on-camera talent across the TV-5 and TV-6 bands. The unit operates on a single 9-volt battery for portable use on set or in ENG trucks.

119 Channels and 3.5mm Headset Jack

Synthesized tuning provides 119 user-selectable channels between 76.2 and 87.8 MHz, allowing quick frequency changes to avoid interference. A standard 3.5mm jack accepts any compatible headset or earpiece, so users can choose their preferred monitoring style. Power, battery-status and RF-signal LEDs give immediate visual feedback on link quality.

TV-Band Coverage and BST-25 Compatibility

The receiver covers the 76 to 88 MHz range used for TV-5 and TV-6 IFB assignments, offering reliable reception in typical studio and location environments. It is designed to pair with the BST-25 base station transmitter for a complete wireless monitoring chain. Buyers needing UHF-band operation or multi-channel diversity reception will need different equipment.

Questions about this item

How often will the 9 V battery need replacing during all-day production use?

Battery life depends on volume level and RF conditions; the front-panel battery LED gives a real-time status so you can swap cells before they run out.

At what point does the 119-channel synthesiser hit its tuning limits in the 76.2–87.8 MHz band?

The synthesiser covers the entire TV-5 and TV-6 allocation with 119 selectable channels, so the band edges at 76.2 MHz and 87.8 MHz are the hard limits.

How warm does the aluminium chassis get and does the fan run continuously when the receiver is powered for a full shoot day?

The unit has no fan and draws minimal current from a single 9 V cell, so it stays cool to the touch and runs silently all day.
