The Hollyland 2/4 Wire Converter (Model: HL-WC01) is a rugged, compact system utility designed to bridge legacy wired party-line intercom hardware with modern 4-wire digital communications.

In broad television, theatre, and industrial event grids, matching different audio standards can cause level drops or feedback loops. This bidirectional converter handles the cross-translation automatically, maintaining pristine wideband audio quality in both directions.

Understanding the Conversion

Wired intercom infrastructures generally fall into two categories. This converter acts as an active, real-time translator between them:

  • 2-Wire Systems (Party-Line): Used by brands like Clear-Com, RTS, or Altair. They transmit power and bidirectional (two-way) talk/listen audio down a single pair of wires within a standard 3-pin XLR line.

  • 4-Wire Systems (Matrix/Digital): Used by high-end digital matrix platforms, broadcast consoles, and wireless hubs (like the Hollyland Solidcom C1 / C1 Pro Hub or Syscom 1000T). These split incoming and outgoing audio lines onto entirely independent pairs of pins (one path exclusively for input, one exclusively for output).

Core Performance Features

  • Intelligent Auto-Nulling Circuitry: The biggest hurdle in 2-to-4 wire conversion is line echo caused by impedance mismatches. The converter features a dedicated, front-panel AUTO NULL button. With one click, the device generates an internal test tone, analyzes the connected line impedance, and drops echo levels out of the track automatically.

  • Power-Free Party-Line Drawing: The converter can extract its operational power directly from an active 12V to 36V DC 2-wire intercom line. You do not need to hunt for an external wall outlet on a busy production floor. (Note: If the 2-wire side doesn't provide power, it can also run off standard USB-C bus power).

  • Distance Wire-Length Compensation: Built with internal DIP switches on the chassis to account for high-frequency signal roll-off over long cable runs. Users can toggle distance compensation steps to optimize audio performance for cable lengths spanning up to 656 feet (200 meters).

  • Independent ±6 dB Gain Trimming: Features independent physical gain adjustment switches for both the 4-Wire Input and 4-Wire Output stages. This allows technical directors to balance varying audio volumes between different manufacturer systems.

  • 6-Segment Real-Time LED Level Meters: Dual LED level strips provide instant, scannable visual feedback for signal inputs and outputs, flashing green for optimal paths and shifting to red to warn of audio clipping.

The Auto-Nulling Status Indicator

When initializing a system, click the physical AUTO-NULL button on the front face. The integrated LED color ring provides real-time diagnostic feedback:

  • Cyan (Blue-Green): Idle state / calibration has not been performed yet.

  • Green: Calibration successful. Echo paths have been calculated and suppressed.

  • Red: Calibration failed. The device detected active crosstalk, a terminal short, or open open-ended cables. Check your XLR connectors and re-run.

Ecosystem Integration Best Practice: If you are hooking this up to cascade a Hollyland Solidcom C1 / C1 Pro Hub with an existing wired Clear-Com setup, wire the 4-wire ports of this converter to the 4W RJ45/XLR terminal on the Solidcom Hub, and the 2-wire side to your party-line. Turn off all microphones on the beltpacks before hitting AUTO-NULL, as background room ambient noise bleed can distort the accuracy of the acoustic echo measurement.

A great printer with lower pricing
Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan
I am quite happy with my ET-4800 purchase. From wirelessly connecting to my Mac to software installation to adding the ink, it was easy to set up. I feel you can't go wrong with this level of ink capacity. It holds so much ink without the bother and added expense of frequently replacing cartridges. I will never go back to a cartridge machine. I don't care who makes it! I've used my printer several times so far, and each time it has done a great job by giving me the colors and clarity that I expected. This is the first printer that I've owned that wasn't a front-feeder. I wasn't sure how I would like that, but I've found that holding the paper straight and then dropping it into the slot rather than placing it, gives the best result for paper alignment. For my needs, I have only used it one sheet of paper at a time. So if you are wanting to load several sheets at once, your loading experience may be different from mine. But just make sure that you do not load more than 100 sheets at a time, per the manufacturer's instructions. Also, be sure that the movable paper guides are in the correct spots for the size of paper being used, without any buckling. To date, I have not used the scanner, but it is definitely a feature that I did not want to be without, so I'm looking forward to using it. The display window, though small, is simple to follow along with, and I appreciate that the angle of the keypad can be adjusted. Working with the Epson Smart Panel app gives a bit more flexibility, particularly if you're not right next to your printer and want to check the ink levels or start a printing job. To use the app, be sure that you turn on your printer first and that both the printer and your device are set to the same wi-fi, so that the app can find your printer and you can begin operating it from afar. Once inside of the app, be sure to check out the "Other Features Menu" from the app's homescreen. There is a link to another Epson app that can be used to boost your creativity and streamline layouts for collages, and a colorful guide full of project ideas that outline everything that you need for each project and how to execute them. There's even a feature for sharing what you've scanned and submitting it as an assignment. This is something that you'd want to read more about to see if it is an applicable and helpful addition for you. You can use the search term, "google classroom in epson smart panel app," to find out more. There is only one downside that I have found at this point. The pull-out paper catching tray in the front feels flimsy. It seems out of place on an otherwise sturdy machine. But so far, I've had no problems with it. I just take my time pulling it out, flipping down the end, folding it back up, and pushing the tray back in. I figure if I baby it a bit, then all should be well. Overall, I really like the Epson ET-4800 as much as my ET-5170. I feel it performs well at an acceptable price point.

Excellent product for the price.
Style: ET-4800, Color: White, Set: FAX/ADF/Print/Copy/Scan
I have had many, many printers over the many years at the business and for home. I honestly think this is the best value for what I need. The eco tank is fabulous. This is the first printer I have purchased with the ecotank. So much better than the cartridges. The quality is good and it was easy to setup and put on the network. I did wait a few months before writing this review to truly test it out and write a fair review. I am pleased. I have had Epson products in the past and do appreciate their quality and affordability.
