The Model 207A eSports Console offers a unique combination of analog and digital audio resources specifically intended to support eSports-related live event, entertainment, and streaming broadcast applications. The unit is housed in a compact, steel enclosure that's intended for table-top use. Its compact size also makes it ideal for use in space-constrained locations. Color-configurable LED lights cast a distinctive "underglow" from the bottom of the enclosure. The Model 207A 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 207A's audio quality is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and ample headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation.
The Model 207A integrates directly into both Dante audio-over-Ethernet and standard analog audio environments. With just a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection, a broadcast or "gaming" headset, and a connection to a stereo line-level audio source, a complete player position can be created. If support for audio masking is desired, a set of stereo earbuds can also be connected.
An extensive set of parameters allows the Model 207A's functions to be tailored to meet the needs of a range of user and application requirements. These operating features are configured using the STcontroller software application. Available free of charge, STcontroller is a fast and simple means of confirming and revising the unit's operating parameters.
Applications
The Model 207A on its own can provide an "all-Dante" solution for one eSports game player location. The unit's small size makes it ideal for live applications where the allotted physical space for personnel is very limited. Four Dante receiver (input) channels supply the user with their talent cue (IFB) and audio masking signals. Should the cue signal be "mix-minus" an integrated sidetone function can provide the user with a microphone confidence signal.
Separate 2-channel (stereo) headphone outputs can simultaneously drive both headsets and earbuds. Some applications may utilize "masking" audio which would typically be sent to the headphone output. For masking, the Model 207A includes an integral noise source that can be selected. Alternately, an external Dante input source can be used. Full-program or mix-minus audio would normally would be sent to earbuds by way of the phones output. The phones audio sources would typically arrive in the Model 207A by way of Dante receiver (input) channels. For user confirmation, sidetone audio can be sent to either the headset or the earbud output.
Two Dante audio output channels are associated with a connected headset's microphone, one designated as main and the other as talkback. Two additional Dante outputs have signal sources derived from the Model 207A's stereo line input. These two audio channels, typically provided by an analog output of a personal computer, can also be routed to the headset or earbud outputs. The four Dante transmitter (output) channels are routed via an associated local area network (LAN) to inputs on Dante-compatible devices. Two pushbutton switches, main and talkback, provide the user with direct control over their microphone audio routing. For virtually "click-free" performance, Model 207A audio switching is performed within the digital domain. Three rotary controls allow the user to create their own headphone audio mix.
