Studio Technologies Model 371A Intercom Beltpack Two Channels 4-Pin Male Headset Connector

The Model 371A Intercom Beltpack begins with the features offered by 2-channel broadcast-style party-line intercom user devices then adds support for traditional single-channel headsets. Applications that have traditionally deployed single-channel analog party-line intercom systems from firms such as Clear-Com® can now easily upgrade to a high-performance dual-channel system. To maintain compatibility and user familiarity, legacy headsets that use a 4-pin female XLR connector are directly compatible.

The Model 371A includes a range of new capabilities, along with the advanced performance and flexibility that Dante® audio-over-Ethernet provides. Over a standard IP network, multiple Model 371A units can be used in party-line (PL) intercom applications with help from an external Dante-enabled audio matrix such as the Studio Technologies Model 5422 Dante Intercom Audio Engine. Alternately, units can be used "point-to-point" or interfaced with Dante-compatible matrix intercom systems.

Only a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection is required for operation. Key user features can be easily configured using the STcontroller software application. Configurable parameters include electret microphone powering, microphone preamplifier gain, sidetone level, and talk button operation. User features include microphone dynamic range control, call function, and remote mic kill ("talk off"). The wide range of capabilities, along with the excellent audio quality provided by the digital audio signal path, offers a unique and powerful user experience.

Set up and configuration of the Model 371A is simple. An etherCON® RJ45 receptacle is used to interconnect with a standard twisted-pair Ethernet port associated with a local-area network (LAN). This connection provides both power and bidirectional digital audio. A broadcast or intercom-style headset with a dynamic or electret (low-voltage DC-powered) microphone interfaces with unit using a 4-pin XLR connector. The Model 371A's enclosure is made from an aluminum alloy which offers both light weight and ruggedness. A stainless steel "belt clip," located on the back of the unit, allows direct attachment to a user's clothing.

The audio quality of the Model 371A's audio channels is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and high headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation. A wide range of applications can be supported, including theater facilities, over-the-air and streaming broadcasting, corporate and government AV installations, aerospace command and control, and post-production facilities.
