Studio Technologies Model 5304 Intercom Station

Product Code: ST-M5304

Key Features

The Model 5304 Intercom Station provides four independent talk and listen channels that are compatible with Dante® audio-over-Ethernet networks. An extensive range of configurable parameters allow the performance to be optimized for numerous intercom applications. The unit is designed to serve as a user station for production and support personnel in applications including on-air television broadcasting, live events, theater, industrial, aerospace, house of worship, and corporate AV. The Model 5304's four channels can be part of a virtual "party-line" intercom system created with other compatible devices. The unit's lightweight aluminum enclosure is intended for desktop or tabletop use. Optional mounting kits allow one or two Model 5304 units to be mounted in one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch rack enclosure.

Studio Technologies Model 5304 Intercom Station

The Model 5304 Intercom Station provides four independent talk and listen channels that are compatible with Dante® audio-over-Ethernet networks. An extensive range of configurable parameters allow the performance to be optimized for numerous intercom applications. The unit is designed to serve as a user station for production and support personnel in applications including on-air television broadcasting, live events, theater, industrial, aerospace, house of worship, and corporate AV. The Model 5304's four channels can be part of a virtual "party-line" intercom system created with other compatible devices. The unit's lightweight aluminum enclosure is intended for desktop or tabletop use. Optional mounting kits allow one or two Model 5304 units to be mounted in one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch rack enclosure.

Over a standard IP network, multiple Model 5304 units can become part of a party-line (PL) intercom application with help from an external Dante-enabled audio device such as the Studio Technologies' Model 5421 or Model 5422A Dante Intercom Audio Engine unit. Model 5304 units can also be deployed in conjunction with Dante-compliant matrix interface systems. The Model 5304's range of resources makes it possible to use units locally or as part of a REMI or "At-Home" implementation.

Only a headset and a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection are required for operation. Key user features can be easily configured using the STcontroller software application. Configurable parameters include electret microphone powering, microphone preamplifier gain, talk and auxiliary button operation, call signal support, headphone channel assignment, and remote control inputs. Specific user features include integrated sidetone operation, remote mic kill ("talk off"), LED display intensity, and microphone audio level display. The wide range of capabilities, along with the excellent audio quality provided by the digital audio signal path, offers a unique and highly effective user experience.

The STcontroller software application is used to select the unit's operating parameters. STcontroller is available, free of charge, from the Studio Technologies' website. Versions are available that are compatible with the Windows® and macOS® operating systems. STcontroller is a fast and simple means of configuring, revising, saving, and loading a unit's operating parameters.
