Studio Technologies M5422-02 Dante Intercom Audio Engine

The Studio Technologies Model 5422 Dante Intercom Audio Engine is a high-performance, cost-effective, and flexible solution for creating party-line (PL) intercom circuits when used with Dante-compatible products. These include the Studio Technologies range of 2- and 4-channel intercom beltpacks. The Model 5422 will also prove valuable in a variety of other broadcast-related mixing, IFB (talent cueing), and interfacing applications. The unit is suitable for use in fixed and mobile broadcast facilities, post-production studios, commercial and educational theater environments, and entertainment applications. Only power and an Ethernet network connection are required for the Model 5422 to provide a powerful resource in a variety of Dante applications. The Model 5422 is available in two versions – one with 32 input and output channels and the other with 64 input and output channels.

Model 5422-02 is two 32-channel Dante audio engines (64 channels total).

Studio Technologies Model 5422 Applications:

Designed to create multiple party-line (PL) circuits in Dante audio-over-Ethernet environments. Can also provide digital summing (mixing) functions for general-purpose applications. Special Dante pass-thru mode allows flow-limited and non-AES67-compliant Dante devices to participate in more advanced applications.
