Powered by Dante audio-over-Ethernet technology, Studio Technologies’ Model 362A Listen-Only Beltpack supports headphone monitoring of two audio channels in a variety of applications, including sports and entertainment TV and radio events, web streaming broadcasts, corporate and government AV installations, and post-production facilities.
Gordon Kapes, President of Studio Technologies, said, “The Model 362A provides users with the simple deployment, flexible configuration, and reliable operation afforded by Dante audio-over-Ethernet technology.
“Like our other products, the Model 362A was designed with Studio Technologies’ expertise in creating an intuitive user experience, while maintaining professional audio quality.”
By utilising Dante, the Model 362A offers connectivity using Ethernet and configuration flexibility in a compact, durable package built for both studio and field deployment. With only a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and a pair of headphones or an earpiece, users can establish a complete broadcast talent cue (“IFB”) or audio monitoring location. Both ¼-inch and 3.5 mm 3-conductor (“stereo”) headphone jacks allow connection of a wide range of stereo headphones, single-or dual-ear broadcast headsets, and stereo or monaural earpieces or earbuds.
While each Model 362A is intended to be used by one user, production teams can easily integrate multiple units into their workflows. The unit is also compatible with other high-performance Dante-enabled products from Studio Technologies, including a range of broadcast-oriented units such as party-line (PL) intercom and IFB interfaces, intercom beltpacks, on-air beltpacks, and announcer’s consoles.
With Dante’s inherent compatibility, Model 362A units can also be effectively deployed with a range of products from other manufacturers.
