MODEL 204
ANNOUNCER’S CONSOLE
Mode 1 – Ch1L/Ch2R/SidetoneLR
Mode 1 is provided for on-air applications
where two independent audio sources need
to be routed separately to the two head-
phone output channels. Dante input (re-
ceiver) channel 1 will be routed to the left
headphone output channel and pot A will
adjust its level. Dante input (receiver) chan-
nel 2 will be routed to the right headphone
output channel and pot B will adjust its level.
Pot C will adjust the level of the sidetone
audio as it is sent to both the left and right
headphone output channels.
Mode 2 – Ch1LCh2R/BalanceLR/Side-
toneLR
Mode 2 is provided for stereo applications
that could include live music events that
are distributed via streaming audio or by
way of an over-the-air broadcast. In these
applications it’s typical to want the user to
have a single potentiometer to simultane-
ously adjust the level of a stereo pair while
a separate potentiometer is used to adjust
the left/right level balance.
When set for mode 2 Dante input chan-
nel 1 will be routed to the left headphone
output channel and Dante input channel 2
will be routed to the right headphone output
channel. Pot A will adjust the overall level
of both headphone output channels. Pot B
will adjust the level balance between the left
and right output channels. Pot C will adjust
the level of the sidetone audio as it is sent
to both the left and right headphone output
channels.
Mode 3 – Ch1LCh2R/Ch3LCh4R/Side-
toneLR
Mode 3 can be useful in applications where
two stereo signals need to be provided to
the user on the left and right headphone
output channels. In this mode Dante input
channels 1 and 2 are routed to the left and
right channels of the headphone output.
Pot A adjusts the level of this stereo pair.
Dante input channels 3 and 4 are also
routed to the left and right channels of the
headphone output. Pot B adjusts the level
of this stereo pair as it is sent to the head-
phone output channels. Pot C will adjust
the level of the sidetone audio as it is sent
to both the left and right headphone output
channels.
Mode 4 – Ch1L/Ch2R/Ch3LCh4R
Mode 4 is very similar to mode 1 except
instead of providing sidetone another
stereo pair can be routed to the left and
right headphone output channels. Dante
input channel 1 is routed to the left chan-
nel of the headphone output. Pot A adjusts
its level. Dante input channel 2 is routed
to the right headphone output channel and
pot B adjusts its level. A stereo pair can
enter the Model 204 by way of Dante input
channels 3 and 4. These signals, whose
level is adjusted using the pot C, are sent
to the left and right channels of the head-
phone output.
Mode 5 – Ch1LR/Ch2LR/Ch3LCh4R
Model 5 is a unique variation where two
monaural signals can be routed to both
the left and right headphone output chan-
nels while a stereo input source is routed
in stereo to the headphone output chan-
nels. Dante input channel 1 will be routed
to both the left and right channels of the
headphone output. Its level is controlled
by pot A. Dante input channel 2 will also
be routed to both the left and right chan-
nels of the headphone output. Its level will
be adjusted using pot B. A stereo pair can
enter the Model 204 by way of Dante input
channels 3 and 4. These signals will be
sent, in stereo, to the left and right chan-
nels of the headphone output. Their level
will be adjusted using pot C.
