MODEL 204
ANNOUNCER’S CONSOLE
interrupt to enter the Model 204 by way
of Dante input (receiver) channel 1 and
be sent to the left headphone output.
Program-only audio, entering the unit by
way of Dante input channel 2, would be
sent to the right headphone output. Pots
A and B are used to adjust the level of
those signals. Pot C is used for the sid-
etone function where microphone audio
is sent to both the left and right channels
of the headphone output.
• Mode 2 – Ch1LCh2R/BalanceLR/
SidetoneLR: Intended for applications
where a stereo signal enters the Model
204 by way of Dante inputs 1 and 2 and
is routed in stereo to the left and right
channels of the headphone output. In
this mode pot A controls the overall level
of this stereo signal and pot B controls
its left/right level balance. Pot C is used
by the sidetone function.
• Mode 3 – Ch1LCh2R/Ch3LCh4R/
SidetoneLR: Allows two stereo signals
to be routed as stereo pairs to the two
headphone output channels. In this
mode pot A adjusts the level of the
stereo pair entering the unit by way of
Dante inputs 1 and 2 while pot B adjusts
the level of the stereo pair entering on
Dante inputs 3 and 4. Pot C is used by
the sidetone function.
• Mode 4 – Ch1L/Ch2R/Ch3LCh4R:
Allows two monaural input signals to
be independently routed to the left and
right headphone output channels. These
audio signals would enter the Model 204
by way of Dante input channels 1 and 2.
Pots A and B are used to control the lev-
els of the signals as they are sent to the
left and right headphone output chan-
nels. A stereo input signal, entering the
unit by way of Dante inputs 3 and 4, are
routed to the left and right headphone
outputs. This stereo pair has its level
controlled by pot C.
• Mode 5 – Ch1LR/Ch2LR/Ch3LCh4R:
Allows two monaural input audio chan-
nels to be sent to both the left and right
headphone output channels. Dante
inputs 1 and 2 are used to bring these
audio signals into the Model 204. Pots
A and B are used to control the level of
the signals as they are sent to the head-
phone output channels. Pot C is used to
control the level of a stereo input signal
as it is routed to the left and right chan-
nels of the headphone output. This ste-
reo pair enters the unit by way of Dante
inputs 3 and 4.
The integrated sidetone function can be
configured to operate from among four
choices. This allows audio associated with
the microphone input and microphone
preamplifier to be returned to the head-
phone output. This is important as different
applications may provide a “full mix” or a
“mix-minus” talent cue signal. If a full mix
cue signal is provided then sidetone audio
will not be needed and the function can be
disabled. In the case where a mix-minus
signal is present, providing the user with
sidetone at the appropriate time(s) can
be an important means of confirming the
signal that’s coming from the connected
microphone.
The headphone gain range configura-
tion helps to provide an optimized audio
level to Model 204 users. The appropriate
setting will depend on the specific audio
sources provided to the unit as well as
user preference.
