MODEL 207
eSPORTS CONSOLE
would consist of a 5-pin male XLR connector
wired to both a 3-pin female XLR connector
for the microphone and a ¼-inch or 3.5 mm
TRS jack for the headphones. In this scenar-
io the microphone would in most cases be a
dynamic type as the Model 207 provides only
low-voltage DC electret power. Phantom-
powered (P12 or P48) microphones would
not be compatible. Most hand-held or “stick”
microphones are dynamic and should func-
tion correctly.
Headset B
The Model 207 also allows direct connec-
tion of gaming headsets that are ubiquitous
in the personal computer world. The 3.5 mm
4-conductor TRRS jack, labeled Headset B,
is compatible with the CTIA™/AHJ configu-
ration standard which has the headphone
left channel on the tip connection, the head-
phone right channel on the ring 1 connection,
common/shield on the ring 2 connection,
and the microphone on the sleeve con-
nection. Compatible headsets are readily
available, typically described as personal
computer or gaming headsets. The micro-
phones used in these headsets are electret
type which require a low-voltage DC source
for operation. The Model 207 is able to pro-
vide this power and requires only that the ap-
propriate setting in STcontroller be selected.
Refer to Figure 3 for a detailed description of
the compatible TRRS plug.
Stereo Line Input
The Model 207 provides a 3.5 mm 3-conduc-
tor TRS jack for interfacing with a source
of unbalanced stereo line-level audio. The
nominal level of the unbalanced source is
expected to be in the area of –15 dBV. An
STcontroller configuration setting allows the
stereo line input to be compatible with signals
that have a fairly wide nominal level range.
Located on the back panel, the jack is
labeled Stereo Line In and is specifically pro-
vided to allow direct interconnection with
a personal computer’s analog line output.
(This is typically the light-green-colored jack
on a personal computer.) Using a standard
patch cord with 3.5 mm 3-conductor TRS
plugs on each end will make interconnec-
tion very simple. As is standard for personal
computers and other personal electronics the
Model 207 implements the jack such that the
left channel is on the tip lead, the right chan-
nel is on the ring lead, and common/shield
is on the sleeve lead. Refer to Figure 4 for a
detailed view of the appropriate mating plug.

Dante Configuration
For audio to pass to and from the Model
207 requires that several Dante-related
parameters be configured. These configu-
ration settings will be stored in non-volatile
memory within the Model 207’s circuitry.
Configuration will typically be done with the
Dante Controller software application which
is available for download free of charge at
www.audinate.com. Versions of Dante Con-
troller are available to support Windows and
