Studio Technologies has announced that it is now shipping the new StudioComm System with Dante Support, consisting of the Model 792 central controller and the Model 793 control console, designed to allow users to more conveniently monitor high-channel-count Dante digital and analog audio sources while maintaining audio quality.
“While Dante has found wide acceptance in professional applications, analog signals continue to play an important role in audio workflows,” says Gordon Kapes, president of Studio Technologies. “That fact, combined with the range of audio formats, can make monitoring a challenge. We’re excited to offer our customers a high-performance yet easy-to-use solution with our newest StudioComm System.”
The StudioComm System incorporates an internal 16-channel architecture in providing direct support for a range of surround audio applications. Audio level control and processing is performed in 32-bit programmable logic, which helps to ensure that audio quality is maintained. With Dante digital and analog audio inputs and outputs and an extensive set of operating resources, the system can be integrated into a wide range of contemporary facilities.
The Model 793 serves as the system’s “command center.” The unit is designed to reside at a user’s location for access to all monitoring functions and a direct view of status information. The Model 792 contains all the circuitry required to support the Dante digital and analog audio input and output signals. The one-rack-space unit links with the Model 793 using a 9-conductor D-subminiature cable. An integral web server allows is designed to offer quick and flexible configuration of the unit’s Ethernet networking, Dante, and analog audio performance.
