The Studio Technologies Model 5365 provides a 2-channel (stereo) analog line input. The nominal input level of both input channels is -10 dBu. It's possible that the level of a source signal connected to channel 1 might be significantly less than the unit's nominal. If this is the case then two configuration choices allow gain to be added to the circuitry associated with the channel 1 analog line input.
Signal interconnections can be made using the unit's four connectors, all of which are located on the back. An Ethernet data connection with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability will be made using a standard RJ45 patch cable. A 3-conductor 3.5 mm jack provides access to the unit's stereo (2-channel) line input. Another 3-conductor 3.5 mm jack provides access to the unit's stereo (2-channel) line output. A dualchannel or single-channel (dual- or single-ear) headset or headset interface assembly will be connected using a cable-mounted 5-pin male XLR connector.
The Model 5365 provides a 5-pin female XLR connector that interfaces with an intercom or broadcast-style headset. Some applications may connect the Model 5365's headset connector to a separate headset interface assembly. The headset will incorporate both a microphone and headphones. The latter will provide either a dual-ear or single-ear headphone with dual-channel (stereo) or single-channel (monaural) audio performance. The headset connector is located on the front panel for easy access by the user.
Dante
For Dante audio to pass to and from the Model 5365, it requires that several Dante-related parameters be configured. Versions of Dante Controller are available to support the Windows and macOS personal computer operating systems via Audinate. The Model 5365 uses the UltimoX2 2-input/2-output integrated circuit to implement its Dante interface. The unit is compatible with the Dante Domain Manager (DDM) software application. It also supports AES67 when enabled using a Dante Controller configuration setting.
Please Note: A 100BASE-TX Ethernet connection that supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is required for Model 5365 operation. This one connection will provide both the Ethernet data interface and power for the Model 5365's circuitry. A 10BASE-T connection is not sufficient and a 1000BASE-T (GigE) connection is not supported unless it can automatically "fall back" to 100BASE-TX operation.
