The Studio-Technologies Model 209-U is identical to the Model 209 Talent Console except that the unit is intended for mounting to the top plane of a tabletop or other flat surface. (The suffix "-U" indicates it is upside down from standard.) The unit incorporates a revised front-panel label and back-panel graphics. The firmware (embedded software) accounts for reversed controls and LED indicators.
The Model 209 Talent Console offers a unique combination of audio, remote control, and tally-output resources for use in podcast and other specialized audio applications. The unit is housed in a compact enclosure that's intended for mounting under a tabletop, within custom furniture, or as part of an on-air set.
The Model 209 supports Dante audio-over-Ethernet digital media technology as well as AES67 for integration into contemporary applications. In addition, Audinate's Dante Domain ManagerT software application is supported.
The Model 209 is extremely simple to deploy, is "pro" quality throughout, and provides an intuitive user experience. The Model 209's audio quality is excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and high headroom. Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long, reliable operation.
The Model 209 integrates directly into Dante audio-over-Ethernet environments. With just a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection, a microphone, and a pair of headphones or an earpiece, a complete audio "position" can be created. In addition, remote control inputs and tally outputs allow the Model 209 to integrate directly into more complex applications.
A host of Model 209 features are configured using the STcontroller personal computer software application. This allows the unit's operation to be tailored to meet the exact needs of many installations. STcontroller is a fast and simple means of confirming and revising the unit's operating parameters.
Applications:
The Model 209 can provide an "all-Dante" solution for one podcast location. A wide range of other applications can also be supported, including sports and entertainment TV and radio events, streaming broadcasts, corporate and government AV installations, and post-production facilities. The unit's capabilities allow it to be easily integrated into REMI/At-Home applications.
