Description
Model 370A Announcer's Console (5-Pin Female XLR Connector)
The Model 370A Intercom Beltpack begins with the features offered by traditional 2-channel party-line intercom user devices and adds a range of new capabilities, along with the advanced performance and flexibility that Dante audio-over-Ethernet provides. Over a standard IP network, multiple Model 370A units can be used in party-line (PL) intercom applications with help from an external Dante-enabled audio matrix such as the Studio Technologies Model 5422 Dante Intercom Audio Engine. Alternately, units can be used "point-to-point" or interfaced with Dante-compatible matrix intercom systems.
Only a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection is required for operation. Key user features can be easily configured using the STcontroller software application. Configurable parameters include electret microphone powering, microphone preamplifier gain, talk button operation, and headphone channel assignment. User features include integrated sidetone, call function, and remote mic kill ("talk off"). The wide range of capabilities, along with the excellent audio quality provided by the digital audio signal path, offers a unique and powerful user experience.
Set up and configuration of the Model 370A is simple. An etherCON RJ45 receptacle is used to interconnect with a standard twisted-pair Ethernet port associated with a local-area network (LAN). This connection provides both power and bidirectional digital audio. A broadcast or intercom-style stereo or monaural headset with a dynamic or electret (DC-powered) microphone interfaces with the unit using a 5-pin XLR connector.
The STcontroller software application is used to select the unit's operating parameters. Two talk pushbutton switches can be configured for optimal operation. Two push-in/push-out ("pop out") rotary controls make it easy to set and maintain the desired headphone output level. The Model 370A's enclosure is made from an aluminum alloy which offers both light weight and ruggedness. A stainless steel "belt clip," located on the back of the unit, allows direct attachment to a user's clothing.
The audio quality of the Model 370A's audio channels is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and high headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation. A wide range of applications can be supported, including sports and entertainment TV and radio events, streaming broadcasts, corporate and government AV installations, and post-production facilities.
