About this item
The Model 354A Talk Station from Studio Technologies is a versatile audio interface designed for a wide range of professional applications, including voice paging, background music, audio file playback, broadcast talent cueing (IFB), and general-purpose audio distribution. It features four independent talk channels, each of which can be configured individually to meet specific operational requirements. A built-in monitor section allows any of the four Dante input channels to be routed to a connected powered speaker or external amplifier as needed.
