For a high-performance and flexible solution to create party-line circuits, the Model 5422A 32-Channel Dante Intercom Audio Engine from Studio Technologies offers a wide range of applications. While directly compatible with the Studio Technologies range of intercom belt packs, the Model 5422A can be used in other general audio and broadcast-related mixing and interfacing applications. Only a single Gigabit Ethernet connection is required to access the 32-channel audio engine.
The audio engine can be configured to provide up to four virtual intercom circuits, while advanced features like auto mix, summing, and pass-thru functions make for a quick and efficient setup. For added flexibility, this audio engine supports Dante and AES67 audio protocols, as well as the Dante Domain Manager. Power is handled either by power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or AC power via a standard IEC cable. The included STcontoller application is where all the primary functions can be adjusted, such as gain, routing, and more.
To keep everything organized, each group can be labeled and structured via the Dante Controller application. For even further flexibility, five operating modes including Party-Line with Audio Mix, Party-Line, Summing Bus with Auto Mix, Summing Bus, and Pass-Thru allow you to create unique intercom circuits.
Depending on your existing setup, AES67 and Dante Domain Manager are supported using the Dante Controller application. Because of the added compatibility, the ST 2110-30 protocol is also supported.
