Introduction
The Model 362 Listen-Only Beltpack is
a self-contained 2-channel user device
that supports headphone monitoring of
two audio channels associated with the
Dante audio-over-Ethernet media net-
working technology. Each Model 362 is
intended to be used by one user, providing
them with the form factor, reliability, and
features needed to be effective in a variety
of applications. It’s expected that most ap-
plications will use multiple Model 362 units
to support the individual audio monitoring
needs of a group of users.
The Model 362 offers the Dante connectiv-
ity, configuration flexibility, and essential
user controls in a compact, portable pack-
age. Built tough for both studio and field
deployment the unit is optimized for use
in broadcast sports and live entertainment
events, news-gathering, and streaming
broadcast applications. Leveraging the
capabilities of Dante with Studio Technolo-
gies’ expertise in creating excellent pro-
fessional audio and broadcast products,
the Model 362 allows simple deployment,
application-tailored configuration choices,
and reliable operation, while maintaining
“pro” audio quality and an intuitive user ex-
perience. With only a Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) connection and a pair of headphones
or an earpiece, a complete broadcast talent
cue (“IFB“) or audio monitoring location
can be created.
Applications
A wide range audio-monitoring applications
can be supported, including sports and
entertainment TV and radio events, web
streaming broadcasts, corporate and
government AV installations, and post-
production facilities. The Model 362 can
be used with other high-performance
Dante-enabled products from Studio
Technologies. These include a range of
broadcast-oriented products that include
party-line intercom and IFB interfaces,
2- and 4-channel intercom beltpacks, on-air
beltpacks, and announcer’s consoles. And,
of course, the Model 362 is interoperable
with products from literally hundreds of
other manufacturers.
Setup and Operation
Setup and operation of the Model 362 is
fast and simple. An etherCON® RJ45 jack
is used to interconnect with a standard
twisted-pair Ethernet cable associated with
a port on a PoE-enabled network switch.
This connection provides both power and
bidirectional digital audio. Both ¼-inch and
3.5 mm 3-conductor (“stereo”) headphone
jacks allow connection of a wide range of
