MODEL 348
INTERCOM STATION
Latching: If this mode is selected the button’s
function will alternate between its active
and inactive states whenever the button is
pressed. The button’s green LED will be lit
whenever the associated function is active.
Upon Model 348 power up the button will be
in its inactive state and its LEDs will not be lit.
Hybrid: This mode is a combination of the
Momentary and Latching modes. It’s similar
to the way in which pushbutton switches often
function on user stations associated with
broadcast or production intercom systems. If
the button is pressed and held the associated
function will be active. It will stay active until
the button is released. If the button is momen-
tarily “tapped” the status of the function will
change, either from inactive-to-active or from
active-to-inactive. The button’s green LED will
be lit whenever the function is active. Upon
Model 348 power up the button will be in its
inactive state and its LEDs will not be lit.
Button Function
Choices are Talk, Talk with 18 kHz Tone,
All Talk, Call, IFB, All IFB, 18 kHz Tone,
20 kHz Tone, and Disabled.
Talk: In this mode whenever the function is
active microphone audio will be sent out the
associated Dante audio output (transmitter)
channel. This mode will typically be used as
part of an intercom or stage announce (SA)
implementation. The sidetone function will be
active whenever the talk function is active.
Talk with 18 kHz Tone: This mode is similar
to the Talk mode except that an 18 kHz sine
wave tone is added (summed) with the micro-
phone audio. It is intended for use in REMI/
At-Home applications where a “pilot tone”
needs to be sent along with talk audio. This
is specifically provided for use with the tone-
activated (“TOX”) IFB function in the Studio
Technologies’ Model 5422 Dante Intercom
Audio Engine product. The sidetone function
Note that even if the hot mic output is disabled
the channel will appear in the Dante Controller.
But in this case no signal would be present on
the channel.

Choices are Off, Low, Medium, and High.
The Model 348 is capable of generating an
audible alerting signal when a call signal is
detected on a channel that is assigned to the
Monitor A audio bus. This signal consists of
repeating sequences of three short bursts of
sine wave audio that are output by way of the
speaker. The level range can be selected from
among three choices as well as being selected
for off (muted).
System – Monitor B Call Tone Level
Choices are Off, Low, Medium, and High.
The Model 348 is capable of generating an
audible alerting signal when a call signal is
detected on a channel that is assigned to the
Monitor B audio bus. This signal consists of
repeating sequences of three short bursts of
sine wave audio that are output by way of the
speaker. The level range can be selected from
among three choices as well as being selected
for off (muted).
