MODEL 370A
INTERCOM BELTPACK
The Model 370A has a default Dante device
name of ST-M370A- followed by a unique
suffix. The suffix identifies the specific
Model 370A that is being configured. The
suffix’s actual alpha and/or numeric charac-
ters relate to the MAC address of the unit’s
Ultimo integrated circuit. The two Dante
transmitter (Tx) channels have default
names of Ch1 and Ch2. The two Dante
receiver (Rx) channels have default names
of Ch1 and Ch2. Using the Dante Control-
ler application the default device name and
channel names can be revised as appropri-
ate for the specific application.
Model 370A Configuration
Many of the Model 370A’s operating param-
eters can be configured to match the needs
of specific applications. The STcontroller
software application is used to observe a
unit’s current configuration and perform any
changes that are required. No DIP switch
settings or other local actions are used to
configure the unit. This makes it imperative
that the STcontroller software application
be available for use in a personal computer
that’s connected to the related LAN.
STcontroller is available free of charge
on the Studio Technologies website
(www. studio-tech.com/stcontroller) and
is compatible with personal computers
running Windows operating systems that
are version 7 and later. STcontroller ver-
sions 2.02.00 and later are required to
fully support the Model 370A. If neces-
sary, download and install STcontroller
onto a designated personal computer. This
personal computer must be on the same
local area network (LAN) and subnet as
the Model 370A unit or units that are to be
configured.
STcontroller allows observation and selec-
tion of functions that include:
• Microphone Input – Electret Power
• Microphone Input – Gain
• Headphone Output Channel Routing
• Sidetone – Level
• Button Operation
• System – Mic Kill
Changes made using STcontroller will be
immediately reflected in the unit’s opera-
tion; no Model 370A “reboot” is required.
Each time a change is made the three
buttons, talk 1, talk 2, and call, on the top
panel will momentarily flash orange in a dis-
tinctive pattern to indicate that a command
from STcontroller has been received.
Using STcontroller
Immediately after starting STcontroller
the application will locate and display the
devices that it can control. The one or more
Model 370A units that are recognized will
appear in the device list. Use the Identify
command to allow easy recognition of a
specific Model 370A unit. Double clicking
on a device name will cause the associated
configuration menu to appear. Review the
current configuration and make changes
as required.
Microphone Input – Electret Power
Choices are Enabled or Disabled.
If the headset has an electret microphone
that requires a source of low-voltage DC
power for operation enable the Electret
Power check box. If the associated headset
has a dynamic (non-powered) microphone
do not enable the Electret Power check
box. Most broadcast headsets that termi-
nate on a 5-pin male XLR connector will
