Overview

Dante® digital audio has found wide acceptance in all aspects of audio,

from live entertainment and broadcast events, to corporate, recording, and

post-production facilities. While certainly a legacy technology, analog audio

signals have maintained an important place in the world of professional

audio. And the days of needing to support only 2-channel stereo and 5.1

or 7.1 surround formats have ended. The variety of surround formats,

and their associated channel counts and arrangements, has expanded

the need for specialized equipment. The ability to monitor these Dante

digital and analog audio sources in a convenient and sonically excellent

way has become a requirement for many applications. Studio Technolo-

gies has addressed these needs with the StudioComm with Dante Support

system consisting of the Model 792 Central Controller and the Model 793

Control Console.

Rather than supporting a specific surround format, the StudioComm with

Dante Support system incorporates an internal 16-channel architecture.

This allows a range of surround audio applications to be easily supported.

With Dante digital and analog audio inputs, Dante digital and analog

monitor outputs, and an extensive set of operating resources it’s a simple

task to integrate a monitoring system into virtually any contemporary

facility. The carefully selected group of features, including both 16-chan-

nel surround and 2-channel stereo inputs, configurable input-signal time

delays, multiple pre- and post-fader outputs, and mute/solo functions

make the system powerful yet simple to operate. And by using the best of

contemporary technology, as well as following rigorous design practices,

the system’s audio quality is excellent.

A StudioComm with Dante Support system starts with the Model 793 Con

trol Console. It’s the system’s “command center” and is designed to reside

at a user’s location, allowing fingertip selection of all monitoring functions.

Numerous LED indicators provide complete status information. A backlit

OLED display indicates key operating and configuration parameters. The

second part of the StudioComm system is the Model 792 Central Controller.

This one-rack-space unit contains all the circuitry required to support the

Dante digital and analog audio input and output signals. It links with the Model 793 using a 9-conductor D-subminiature cable.

An integral web server allows fast and flexible configuration of the unit’s networking, audio, and Dante performance. This allows

the system’s performance to be optimized to meet the needs of many specific applications.

• Dante audio-over-Ethernet technology with AES67

and ST 2110 support

• 16-channel surround and 2-channel stereo Dante

digital audio inputs

Model 792 Central Controller Back Panel Dante audio resources include both surround and stereo inputs and outputs. The Dante surround input and output functions consist of 16 independent channels while the stereo input and output functions support two channels. The Dante channels are compatible with AES67 and support Dante’s ST 2110 implementation. Analog audio resources include a 16-channel surround input, a 2-channel stereo input, and a 16-channel surround output.
PAGE 3
Dante Surround Input The Model 792 provides a 16-channel “wide” Dante input for direct interfacing with applications that utilize Dante technology. As with the Analog Surround Input, the format of the 16 input channels is not defined. Signals with a bit depth of up to 24 and sample rate of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz are compatible. The Dante surround input channels have a nominal signal level of –20 dBFS. Analog Stereo Input A 3-conductor 3.
PAGE 4
Operation The Model 793 Control Console provides the operator with an easy-to-use interface and includes a set of pushbutton switches, a rotary control, and a backlit OLED graphics display. Together these resources are used to select the desired monitoring environment. User functions include selecting the input source, adjusting the listening level, selecting the monitor output, and activating other special features.
