Product Overview
Simplify your on-site communications setup with the Studio Technologies Dante audio over Ethernet capable Model 5304 Intercom Station. The 5304 features four independent talk and listen channels and a host of configurable parameters allowing it to fit seamlessly into a wide range of applications.
From on-air broadcasting to corporate AV, the 5304 provides easy configuration and control via the STcontroller software app, and it's all handled over a standard Ethernet connection. The unit also draws power from that same connection, which means only a single cable run is required for bi-directional Dante audio, power, configuration, and control.
The unit can be configured as a call center for a virtual "party-line" intercom system with other compatible devices. Five rotary controls and push buttons on the front panel facilitate level control and signal/call routing respectively. The rotary controls can also display a multi-color level meter for the input signal and the channel status.
The Model-5304 boasts a high headroom, low noise input preamp that ensures a wide dynamic range, so you hear only what you want and nothing you don't. An integrated compressor circuit helps keep levels consistent to avoid signal overload.
