Studio Technologies releases upgraded announcer’s consoles versions

Studio Technologies has released its new Model 214A, 215A, and 216A announcer’s consoles. The three units are designed to serve as the audio control center for announcers, commentators, and production personnel. Model 214A, 215A, and 216A incorporate upgraded capability and performance while maintaining compatibility with the Model 214, 215 and 216 products.

The new units utilize the STcontroller software application. The VenueView real-time monitoring features of STcontroller are also supported. Model 214A, 215A, and 216A are suitable for numerous applications including on-air television sports broadcasting, stadium announcement, and corporate AV. All three consoles are compatible with broadcast and audio system environments that utilize Dante audio-over-Ethernet technology.

An Ethernet connection with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is required to make a Model 214A, 215A, or 216A part of a networked audio system. With the addition of a microphone and pair of headphones (or a broadcast headset) the installation is complete and ready for on-air audio, talkback audio, or the headphone cue feed. “Using the STcontroller software application, an enhanced range of configuration choices allow the desired operating parameters to be easily selected”, says Gordon Kapes, President of Studio Technologies. “While flexible to configure, the user is presented with a set of controls and indicators.”

The Model 214A’s two pushbutton switches, Model 215A’s three pushbutton switches, and Model 216A’s four pushbutton switches allow the user to control the main and talkback audio output channels. On all models, one pushbutton switch controls the status of the Dante main transmitter (output) channel. This is the audio channel intended for on-air, announcement, or other primary uses.

The Model 214A, 215A, and 216A’s pushbutton switches utilize gold-plated contacts and include backlighting using white LEDs. Three rotary controls allow the user to adjust the content and level of the 2-channel headphone output. Model 216A can also serve as a 4-channel IFB (interrupted foldback or talent cueing) main station for remote production (REMI) applications. That unit will integrate all on-air, talkback, and cue audio signal routing in one compact package.

Available free of charge from Studio Technologies, the STcontroller software application allows production personnel to configure the capabilities of Model 214A, 215A, and 216A to meet an application’s needs. STcontroller is offered in versions that are compatible with WinOS and MacOS operating systems.
