Very tough, well made receiver. Dropped and never impacted reception ability. Lightweight and very easy to use. Overall, very pleased. If any negatives, it would be that it is fueled by a 9V battery which are a bit costly.

Functions as expected

I love my Comtek one way radios!! I have been using them almost 15 years to teach riding lessons. It saves my voice and no one misses what I'm saying. Projecting your voice takes a lot of energy so it really saves my effort. They have superior products, I have not had any problems over the years. I just added a 4th receiver so I can teach 4 people at one time. Love them and B & H has the best prices!!

Is it possible to monitor audio with the Comtek PR-216 straight out of camera? I'm running two lavs into a Sony FX6 and hoping to output a audio monitor option for someone not next to camera.
Asked by: Carl
If you plug in the output from cam monitor into the transmitter, then you can listen with the PR-216.

Additionally, is it possible to run audio out of the FX6 to the Comtek without using the headphone output? Ideally the shooter would use that to monitor audio levels on the spot, while the producer listens in from afar. Could I run audio out from SDI to the Comtek?
Asked by: Carl
The Comtek PR 216 is a receiver. You need to go into a compatible Comtek transmitter to be able to do that, like the M-216 and that does not take SDI input.
