  Comtek Alternative

  Posted by Dana Mroczek on January 26, 2014 at 5:52 pm

  Hello Everyone,

  Can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative to a comtek system? I am ready to stop renting comteks and buying a system but can’t afford the Comtek brand right now. Any suggestions or reviews would be appreciated!

  Thanks!

  Dana.

  From time to time there are used Comtek systems that appear on ebay and the consignment listings on https://www.trewaudio.com. I would look there to save money. In fact there are used Comtek systems on both those sites right now.

  Something that might work is an FM transmitter, I have used one like this for some sporting events as a ‘in ear monitor’ using cheap FM pocket radios as the RX.

  Comtec is just a brand. Depending on your use Telex, RTS and ClearCom have similar gear. some have more in the headset line, others more IFB or cueing stuff.
  What are you actually going to do with it? Without a use description it’s kinda hard to recommend.
