Introduction

The Model 5202 Interface is a general-purpose audio

device that supports applications utilizing the Dante™

Audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology. Two

Dante-associated audio channels can be assigned to the

Model 5202 which provides headphone and balanced

line-level outputs. The audio quality is such that virtu-

ally any audio application can be supported, from simple

headphone or loudspeaker monitoring to interfacing

with high-performance on-air broadcast, stadium AV, or

corporate audio systems. Multi-step LED meters provide

confirmation of the level of the two input audio channels.

The compact, lightweight design allows the Model 5202

to be used in portable or desktop situations or deployed

as a permanent solution in fixed applications. Standard

connectors ensure fast, reliable deployment. The unit

requires only an Ethernet connection to supply both the

data interface as well as Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

power.

Applications

The Model 5202 is perfect for use in conjunction with

the Dante Controller software application. Driving a

pair of headphones or set of amplified speakers, audio

flows and associated channels can be quickly confirmed

for content as well as signal level. For field applications

the unit can serve as both a test tool and a general-

purpose source of analog audio outputs. With level

controls associated with both the headphone and line

outputs interfacing with virtually any analog audio input

is a simple matter. For permanent applications there’s

no reason why a Model 5202 can’t reside within an

equipment rack or be mounted, using optional brackets,

underneath a table or on-air studio set. The low-power

circuitry is intended for continuous operation.

Headphone Output

A sonically-excellent 2-channel (stereo) headphone

output is provided. It is capable of driving contemporary

headphones, headsets, and earbuds to substantial levels

at very low distortion. A rotary control is used to adjust

the headphone output level. The level knob is a push-in/

push-out type which helps prevent inadvertent adjust-

ment. For flexibility the headphone output is provided on

two separate 3-conductor jacks: a 3.5 mm on the front

panel and a ¼-inch on the back. The audio quality of the

headphone output is such that it can also be used as a

2-channel unbalanced line output. The output level con-

trol will make it a simple task to optimally interface the

headphone output with inputs on personal computers,

portable audio devices, and “semi-pro” equipment.

Line Outputs Ethernet Data and PoE The Model 5202 provides a 2-channel line-level, electronically-balanced analog audio output by way of standard 3-pin male XLR connectors located on the back panel. A rotary level control allows the nominal (average) level of the line outputs to be adjusted. Using the push-in/ push-out knob it’s a simple matter to achieve the desired nominal output levels which include –10, 0, or +4 dBu.
