Key Features

Overview

The Model 5304 Intercom Station provides four indepen-

dent talk and listen channels that are compatible with

Dante

audio-over-Ethernet networks. An extensive range

of configurable parameters allow the performance to be

optimized for numerous intercom applications. The unit

is designed to serve as a user station for production and

support personnel in applications including on-air television

broadcasting, live events, theater, industrial, aerospace,

house of worship, and corporate AV. The Model 5304’s

four channels can be part of a virtual “party-line” intercom

system created with other compatible devices. The unit’s

lightweight aluminum enclosure is intended for desktop

or tabletop use. Optional mounting kits allow one or two

Model 5304 units to be mounted in one space (1U) of a

standard 19-inch rack enclosure.

Over a standard IP network, multiple Model 5304 units can

become part of a party-line (PL) intercom application with

help from an external Dante-enabled audio device such

as the Studio Technologies’ Model 5421 or Model 5422A

Dante Intercom Audio Engine unit. Model 5304 units can

also be deployed in conjunction with Dante-compliant ma-

trix interface systems. The Model 5304’s range of resources

makes it possible to use units locally or as part of a REMI

or “At-Home” implementation.

Only a headset and a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connec-

tion are required for operation. Key user features can be

easily configured using the STcontroller software applica-

tion. Configurable parameters include electret microphone

powering, microphone preamplifier gain, talk and auxiliary

button operation, call signal support, headphone channel

assignment, and remote control inputs. Specific user fea-

tures include integrated sidetone operation, remote mic kill

(“talk off”), LED display intensity, and microphone audio

level display. The wide range of capabilities, along with the

excellent audio quality provided by the digital audio signal

path, offers a unique and highly effective user experience.

Configuration choices allow the operation of the four talk buttons to be optimized to meet an application’s needs. Their action can be independently configured, as well as selected to send only voice audio, or to send both voice audio and an 18 kHz sine wave tone.
