MODEL 348
INTERCOM STATION
default configuration is for this feature to be
disabled (Off). When this configuration choice
is enabled (On) and Gooseneck is selected as
the microphone source the headset’s head-
phone outputs will mute. When the headset’s
microphone is selected as the source the moni-
tor outputs and associated loudspeaker will also
mute. In both cases the mute state that was au-
tomatically enabled can be overridden by press-
ing the knob on the applicable rotary encoder.
Each microphone source, headset and goose-
neck, has an independent preamplifier gain
configuration parameter which is accessible by
way of the STcontroller software application. If
switching between the two microphone sources
results in a greatly different overall microphone
audio levels then the configuration choice for
the microphone preamplifier gains should be
reviewed and revised as appropriate.
Hot Mic Output
A Dante output channel has been designated
as a hot mic output. This output can be enabled
or disabled using the STcontroller software
application. The default setting is Disabled.
When enabled the selected microphone source,
headset or gooseneck, will be permanently
connected to the Hot Mic Dante output channel.
No pushbutton or encoder operation is required
for the audio associated with the selected
microphone source to be active on the Hot Mic
Dante output. This can be a useful feature but
it’s important that user be made aware that
there is no means of turning off (“muting”) this
output. They must assume that other personnel
will be continually monitoring audio associated
with their selected microphone.
Button Action
The action of each of the eight pushbutton
switches can be individually configured us-
ing STcontroller. There are three button action
choices available and a description of them
follows:
Momentary
If this mode is selected the pushbutton’s as-
sociated function will become active when-
ever the button is pressed and held. When
the function is active the pushbutton’s green
LEDs will be lit.
Latching
If this mode is selected the function associ-
ated with the button will alternate between its
active and inactive states whenever the push
-
button is momentarily pressed (“tapped”). The
pushbutton’s green LEDs will be lit whenever
the function is active. Upon Model 348 power
up the button’s associated function will be in
its inactive state.
Hybrid
This mode is a combination of the momen-
tary and latching actions. If the pushbutton
is pressed and held the associated function
will become active until the pushbutton is
released. If the pushbutton is momentarily
pressed (“tapped”) the function will change
state. The pushbutton’s green LEDs will be lit
whenever the function is active. Upon Model
348 power up the pushbutton’s associated
function will be in its inactive state.
Button Function
The button function configuration is used to
select the overall manner in which a specific
pushbutton channel operates. Each pushbut-
ton can be independently configured from
among nine choices. A careful study of how
each of these choice’s function will highlight
the variety of applications a Model 348 can
support. While the product’s title includes the
text “Intercom Station,” that far from covers all
the applications in which the unit can provide
value.
Talk
When a button function has been configured
for Talk and the pushbutton is pressed or the
