Introduction

The Model 370A Intercom Beltpack begins with the fea-

tures offered by traditional 2-channel party-line intercom

user devices and adds a range of new capabilities, along

with the advanced performance and flexibility that Dante®

audio-over-Ethernet provides. Over a standard IP network,

multiple Model 370A units can be used in party-line (PL)

intercom applications with help from an external Dante-

enabled audio matrix such as the Studio Technologies

Model 5422 Dante Intercom Audio Engine. Alternately,

units can be used “point-to-point” or interfaced with Dante-

compatible matrix intercom systems.

Only a single Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection is

required for operation. Key user features can be easily

configured using the STcontroller software application.

Configurable parameters include electret microphone pow

ering, microphone preamplifier gain, talk button operation,

and headphone channel assignment. User features include

integrated sidetone, call function, and remote mic kill (“talk

off”). The wide range of capabilities, along with the excel

lent audio quality provided by the digital audio signal path,

offers a unique and powerful user experience.

Set up and configuration of the Model 370A is simple. An

etherCON® RJ45 receptacle is used to interconnect with

a standard twisted-pair Ethernet port associated with a

local-area network (LAN). This connection provides both

power and bidirectional digital audio. A broadcast or in

tercom-style stereo or monaural headset with a dynamic

or electret (DC-powered) microphone interfaces with the

unit using a 5-pin XLR connector.

The STcontroller software application is used to select the

unit’s operating parameters. Two talk pushbutton switches

can be configured for optimal operation. Two push-in/push-

out (“pop out”) rotary controls make it easy to set and

maintain the desired headphone output level. The Model

370A’s enclosure is made from an aluminum alloy which

offers both light weight and ruggedness. A stainless steel

“belt clip,” located on the back of the unit, allows direct

attachment to a user’s clothing.

The audio quality of the Model 370A’s audio channels is ex

cellent, with low distortion, low noise, and high headroom.

Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long,

reliable operation. A wide range of applications can be sup

ported, including sports and entertainment TV and radio

events, streaming broadcasts, corporate and government

AV installations, and post-production facilities.

Dante Audio-over-Ethernet

Audio data is sent to and received from the Model 370A

using the Dante audio-over-Ethernet media networking

technology. As a Dante-compliant device, the Model 370A’s

two audio output (Dante transmitter) and two audio input

(Dante receiver) channels can be interconnected (routed)
