Product Overview
The Audio Technologies Model 206 integrates directly into both Dante audio-over-Ethernet and standard analog audio environments. A complete broadcast on-air position can be created with just a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection, a microphone, and a pair of headphones or an earpiece. This unit is intended for table-top use and is housed in a compact, rugged steel enclosure. The unit's nicely proportioned but diminutive size makes it ideal for use in space-constrained locations. For integration into contemporary applications, the Model 206 supports Dante® audio-over-Ethernet digital media technology with AES67 compatibility. The unit is extremely simple to deploy and provides an intuitive user experience. This unit is built with professional quality and the audio has low distortion, low noise, and ample headroom. The careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation.
