Studio Technologies Model 203 Announcers Console (New)
Dante Audio-Over-Ethernet Announcers Console - 1 Main / 1 Talkback Channel
The Studio Technologies Model 203 Announcer's Console offers the audio resources needed to directly support a complete broadcast on-air position. Using Dante® audio-over-Ethernet technology, the unit provides main and talkback output channels, talent cue (IFB) inputs, and sidetone capabilities. Housed in a compact, desktop package, it offers users a combination of the essential buttons and controls along with a range of important operating features. The Model 203 is compatible with the Dante Domain Manager™ (DDM) software application and is AES67-compliant for integration into many contemporary networked audio applications.
Optimized for broadcast sports and live entertainment events, eSports, and streaming broadcast applications, the Model 203 allows for simple deployment while maintaining "pro" audio quality and an intuitive user experience. Needing just a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) data connection, a dynamic or phantom-powered microphone, and a pair of headphones or an earpiece, the unit will be ready for use in just moments. The STcontroller software application is used for configuring the unit's operating parameters including microphone preamplifier gain, P48 phantom power, headphone signal routing, sidetone operation, and main and talkback button action. The Model 203's audio quality is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and high headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation.
Applications
The Model 203 provides an "all-Dante" solution for one on-air talent location. 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. The unit's small size makes it ideal for live-sports applications, such as basketball, where physical space for personnel is very limited. Two Dante audio input channels supply the user with their talent cue (IFB) signals. Should the cue signal be "mix-minus" an integrated sidetone function can provide the user with a microphone confidence signal. Two Dante audio output channels, one designated as main (for "on-air" use) and the other talkback, are routed via the associated local-area network (LAN) to inputs on Dante-compatible devices. Two pushbutton switches, main and talkback, provide the user with direct control over audio routing. The audio switching is performed in the digital domain and is virtually "click-free."
