Dante Compatible Announcers Console with One Dante Talkback Output
The Studio Technologies Model 204 Announcer's Console offers a unique combination of analog and digital audio resources for use in broadcast sports, eSports, live event, entertainment, and streaming broadcast applications. The unit is housed in a compact, rugged steel enclosure that's intended for table-top use. Calling the Model 204 "cute" or "cool" would be accurate; its nicely proportioned but diminutive size makes it ideal for use in space-constrained locations. The Model 204 supports Dante® audio-over-Ethernet digital media technology with AES67 compatibility for integration into contemporary applications. The unit is extremely simple to deploy, is "pro" quality throughout, and provides an intuitive user experience. The Model 204's audio quality is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and ample headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation.
Please Note! Model 4, Model 5 & Model 6 Announcers Consoles are all identical in their functionality with the exception of the additional Dante outputs per unit. Model 4 sports 1 Dante output, Model 5 sports 2 Dante outputs & Model 6 sports 3 Dante outputs.
