MODEL 207
eSPORTS CONSOLE
Introduction
The Model 207 eSports Console offers a
unique combination of analog and digital
audio resources specifically intended to
support eSports-related live event, entertain-
ment, and streaming broadcast applications.
The unit is housed in a compact, rugged
steel enclosure that’s intended for table-top
use. Its diminutive size also makes it ideal
for use in space-constrained locations. Blue
LED lights cast a distinctive “underglow”
from the bottom of the enclosure. The Model
207 supports Dante® audio-over-Ethernet
digital media technology with AES67 com-
patibility for integration into contemporary
applications. The unit is extremely simple
to deploy, is “pro” quality throughout, and
provides an intuitive user experience. The
Model 207’s audio quality is excellent, with
low distortion, low noise, and ample head-
room. Careful circuit design and rugged
components ensure long, reliable operation.
The Model 207 integrates directly into both
Dante audio-over-Ethernet and standard an-
alog audio environments. With just a Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) connection, a broadcast
or “gaming” headset, and a connection to a
stereo line-level audio source, a complete
player position can be created.
Model 207 operating features are configured
using the STcontroller software application.
An extensive set of parameters allows the
unit’s functions to be tailored to meet the
needs of many applications. STcontroller,
compatible with version 7 and later of the
Windows® operating system, is a fast and
simple means of confirming and revising
the unit’s operating parameters.
Applications
The Model 207 on its own can provide an
“all-Dante” solution for one game player
location. The unit’s small size makes it ideal
for live applications where physical space
for personnel is very limited. Four Dante re-
ceiver (audio input) channels supply the user
with their talent cue (IFB) signals. Should
the cue signal be “mix-minus” an integrated
sidetone function can provide the user with
a microphone confidence signal. Two Dante
audio output channels are associated with a
connected headset’s microphone, one des-
ignated as main and the other as talkback.
Two additional Dante outputs have signal
sources derived from the Model 207’s stereo
line input. These two audio channels, typi-
cally provided by a personal computer, can
also be routed to the headphone output. The
four Dante output (transmitter) channels are
routed via an associated local area network
(LAN) to inputs on Dante-compatible de-
vices. Two pushbutton switches, main and
talkback, provide the user with direct control
