Get durable communication with Black Diamond Radios
“Black Diamond Radio D-series digital walkies are a must-have in the club environment. After serving the gentlemen’s club industry for twenty years, Black Diamond knows what a communication system needs to offer to keep patrons, dancers and staff safe: it has to be crystal clear no matter how loud, it has to take a beating, and it has to be easy to use. A moment of mayhem is not the time you want to learn why buying cheap is a bad idea. We provide the best because it’s what you need. We all know that safety and security are paramount in 2025, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a club that doesn’t employ two-way
communication today. But why us? Black Diamond radios are so tough that our warranty covers accidents for two years. We challenge you to find a provider that will match it. Spilled a drink on it? Dropped it in a mop bucket? Broke it in a scuffle? We replace it at no cost to you. We even pay for shipping. Our digital radios feature an ‘all-call’ channel that interrupts all other channels for emergencies and announcements, private calling channels, ultra-comfortable high-noise earpieces, large buttons that are easy to find in hectic situations and crisp digital audio allowing your team to stay on top of every issue that may arise. When you choose Black Diamond Radio, you choose Diamond Tough.”

Loud and clear dialogue with RadioBoss
“The newest product in the RadioBoss line is the RadioBoss Trek, a price-effective digital two-way radio that can help clubs save money compared to competitive products while still having the ability to block out the loud sounds of a club using digital technology. A hidden display on the front of the radio indicates the channel and volume in use. While compact, the Trek is still within the full-size range, standing at 4 inches high. Its volume is loud and clear, and a strong, secure belt clip with the option for a standard 6-inch long antenna or a 4-inch stubby antenna. Our team will program these radios with new programming or to match your club’s existing products. Charge the radios on single or multi-charging stations, plug in your earpieces and keep your patrons and business safer.

Seamless age verification with IDetect ID scanners
“IDetect ID scanners are a must-have for any club looking to control their front door and only allow access to people they want. Our systems identify fake and unwanted IDs, track all entry fees collected, track VIP room entries, send text alerts to guests and provide full diligence proof when needed. Our systems even allow your club’s liability waiver to be stored in the system so clients sign it every time their ID is scanned upon entry. Our systems provide seamless, full security and are very easy to learn and use effectively. IDetect’s Edge Handheld scans IDs from all 50 states, Canada and Mexico. It can also verify military IDs, passports and global entry IDs. It also gives clubs the option to track memberships, print custom wristbands for guests over 21 and process VIP cards.
