Introduction
The Model 362 Listen-Only Beltpack is a self-contained
2-channel user device that supports headphone moni
-
toring of two audio channels associated with the Dante
audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology. Each
Model 362 is intended to be used by one user, providing
them with the form factor, reliability, and features needed
to be effective in a variety of applications. It’s expected
that most applications will use multiple Model 362 units
to support the individual audio monitoring needs of a
group of users.
The Model 362 offers the Dante connectivity, configura
-
tion flexibility, and essential user controls in a compact,
portable package. Built tough for both studio and field
deployment the unit is optimized for use in broadcast
sports and live entertainment events, news-gathering,
and streaming broadcast applications. Leveraging the
capabilities of Dante with Studio Technologies’ expertise
in creating excellent professional audio and broadcast
products, the Model 362 allows simple deployment,
application-tailored configuration choices, and reliable
operation, while maintaining “pro” audio quality and
an intuitive user experience. With only a Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) connection and a pair of headphones or
an earpiece, a complete broadcast talent cue (“IFB“) or
audio monitoring location can be created.
Applications
A wide range audio-monitoring applications can be sup-
ported, including sports and entertainment TV and radio
events, web streaming broadcasts, corporate and gov
-
ernment AV installations, and post-production facilities.
The Model 362 can be used with other high-performance
Dante-enabled products from Studio Technologies. These
include a range of broadcast-oriented products that
include party-line intercom and IFB interfaces, 2- and
4-channel intercom beltpacks, on-air beltpacks, and
announcer’s consoles. And, of course, the Model 362
is interoperable with products from literally hundreds of
other manufacturers.
Setup and Operation
Setup and operation of the Model 362 is fast and simple.
An etherCON® RJ45 jack is used to interconnect with
a standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable associated with
a port on a PoE-enabled network switch. This connec
-
tion provides both power and bidirectional digital audio.
Both ¼-inch and 3.5 mm 3-conductor (“stereo”) head
-
phone jacks allow connection of a wide range of stereo
