The Studio Technologies Model 220 Announcer’s Console is an enhanced audio control ;hub; for announcers, commentators, and production personnel. Compatible with essentially all broadcast and production audio system environments, the tabletop unit is a great choice for on-air television and radio broadcast.

Flexible Setup
Three pushbutton switches—Main, Talkback 1, and Talkback 2—operate under microprocessor control to offer unmatched flexibility and ;click-free; audio routing. The Main button controls the main output with operating modes that include push-to-mute (cough), push-to-talk, and latching. The Talkback 1 and Talkback 2 buttons control dedicated line-level outputs to provide talent-originated cue signals to production personnel. For non-on-air applications a special feature set referred to as ;production; mode can be enabled. Simple customization of the button labels ensures the user is presented with an easy-to-use set of controls and indicators.

Superior Audio
Featuring a studio-inspired low-noise/low-distortion preamplifier design, adjustable gain, and 48 volt phantom power, the Model 220 is compatible with balanced dynamic and condenser microphones. With high output capability and the use of an output transformer expressly designed for professional audio applications, the main output offers broadcast-quality audio as the on-air or other primary audio feed.

Powerful Monitoring
The headphone output’s circuitry provides high output levels with very low distortion and noise. The user can monitor up to four external audio sources: IFB channel 1, IFB channel 2, line input 1, and line input 2. Possible signal sources for the line-level inputs include off-air receivers, wireless IFB systems, and audio consoles. Each source can be individually assigned to the left, right, or both channels of the binaural headphone output. Two rotary controls allow the user to adjust the headphone output levels.
