In the world of TV production, clear communication is everything. Directors need to give cues, producers need to provide instructions, and talent needs to hear prompts—all without ruining the magic on screen. For years, bulky IFB (Interruptible Foldback) systems were a necessary evil, often noticeable and sometimes pretty uncomfortable for the talent.
At Stickman Sound, we’ve been working with this tech for a long time, starting with systems like the legacy Phonak Invisity. While the Invisity was a workhorse, technology has come a long way. We’re excited to now also offer its incredible successor: the Phonak Roger Wireless IFB System. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a huge leap forward in discreet, high-quality audio. The new Roger system is completely digital, and the difference is not just noticeable—it’s a total game-changer that brings additional range to our offering through the custom changes we’ve made to enhance the quality of the product.
This is exactly why the Phonak Roger has become our go-to for challenging, high-profile productions like Next Level Chef, Kitchen Nightmares, and Rock the Block. On these shows, you just can’t have the audience know that the talent is getting cues. The Phonak Roger consistently delivers flawless, invisible communication under pressure.
The Magic of Being Heard, Not Seen
The biggest game-changer with the Phonak Roger is its tiny size and amazing sound quality. The digital receiver is so small it practically disappears in the ear. This means:
- Unmatched Discretion: Talent can get important cues and prompts without the audience ever knowing. No more bulky earpieces or wires distracting from their performance. This is especially key for reality TV, interviews, and any scenario where authenticity is a must.
- Superior Digital Sound: Because it’s a digital system, the audio clarity is exceptional. The Roger system delivers crisp, interference-free sound right to the talent’s ear. That means less “can you repeat that?” and more seamless communication, even in loud places like a busy kitchen or a construction site.
- Comfort for Talent: The tiny earpieces are made for long days, which is crucial during extended shoots. When the talent is comfortable, they perform better.
All Around Coverage, Reliability, and Clarity
While the discreet earpieces are impressive, they’re only part of the puzzle. To truly get the most out of the Phonak Roger system and cover even the largest production areas with perfect clarity, you need the right supporting gear.
At Stickman Sound, we don’t just carry the earbuds. We have all the necessary transmitters, antennas, and distribution gear to build a rock-solid Roger system that’s perfect for your production.

- Maximum Coverage: We can set up the right transmitters and antennas to give you seamless audio coverage across your entire set, with no dead spots.
- Rock-Solid Reliability: Our team understands RF environments and knows how to configure the Roger system for maximum stability, even when a lot of other wireless gear is being used.
- Clarity All Around: We make sure every piece of the system works together perfectly to deliver that signature clear audio to your talent, exactly when they need it.
The Phonak Roger Wireless IFB System isn’t just a choice; it’s a necessity for modern productions that need discretion, clarity, and reliability. When you partner with Stickman Sound, you’re not just renting equipment.
