Studio Technologies Model 348 Intercom Station

Introducing the Studio Technologies Model 348 Intercom Station
Meet the Studio Technologies Model 348 Intercom Station, your new cornerstone for audio control in demanding environments such as on-air broadcasting, live events, and corporate settings. This desktop unit brings the traditional functions of an analog party-line (PL) system into the modern age with advanced Dante® audio-over-Ethernet technology. With eight independent talk and listen channels, the Model 348 can operate within virtual party-lines or in direct, point-to-point setups, making it a versatile choice for any production scenario.

Simplified Connectivity and Power
The Model 348 simplifies connectivity by requiring just a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection for full operational capability, enhancing setup ease and workspace efficiency. For environments requiring redundancy, the unit also includes a secondary port and can alternatively be powered via a standard 12-volt DC source. This dual capability ensures the Model 348 remains operational in varied production conditions, from studio floors to remote outdoor broadcasts.

Versatile Headset and Microphone Options
Adaptability is key in production, and the Model 348 excels here by accommodating both professional broadcast headsets and more contemporary gaming headsets. It features dual headset connectors—a 5-pin female XLR and a 3.5 mm TRRS connector—allowing seamless integration with a variety of audio equipment. Additionally, a dedicated 1/4-inch jack supports the direct connection of gooseneck microphones, ensuring clear communication in any setup.

Advanced Configuration via STcontroller Software
Tailor the Model 348 to meet the exact needs of your production environment with the STcontroller software. This application enables precise adjustment of a wide range of parameters such as microphone power, sidetone levels, and signal routing. Configuration versatility ensures that the Model 348 can adapt to the specific requirements of different roles, whether in broadcasting, live performance, or complex AV installations.

Superior Audio Performance and Monitoring
The Model 348 does not compromise on sound quality. Its low-noise, high-headroom design ensures clear audio transmission, critical for effective communication in live production settings. Each channel features individual level controls, and the comprehensive monitoring options include both headset output and an integrated speaker, allowing for flexible audio checks in noisy environments.
