Studio Technologies has introduced the Model 791 Control Console, a compact desktop device designed for secondary monitoring in Dante-based broadcast and post-production environments. The unit connects via RS-485 to existing StudioComm central controllers, allowing engineers to manage listening levels and reference functions from multiple locations.
The introduction of the Model 791 Control Console addresses the need for cost-effective, distributed control in complex IP-based audio workflows. By allowing up to three secondary consoles to interface with a single central controller, Studio Technologies reduces the hardware overhead required for multi-operator environments. This move reinforces the shift toward Dante-centric infrastructure in professional streaming and broadcast facilities where flexible monitoring is critical. As production environments increasingly adopt hybrid digital-analog setups, the compatibility with AES3 and analog signals ensures broader utility across legacy and modern stacks. Watch for how this modular approach to monitoring hardware influences the design of future IP-native control surfaces.
This launch follows other recent Dante AoIP hardware releases at IBC2026 aimed at bridging legacy broadcast equipment with modern network-based audio routing. The Calrec Type RT console also highlights the industry's push toward more flexible, IP-based audio production tools. New Dante integration options continue to expand the ecosystem for broadcast monitoring, including recent integrated Dante AoIP consoles.
Studio Technologies introduced the Model 791 Control Console at IBC 2026, a compact interface for secondary monitoring in Dante-based broadcast environments. By allowing up to three units to connect to a single StudioComm controller via RS-485, it provides a cost-effective, flexible solution for managing audio levels in complex, multi-operator IP production workflows.
The Model 791 serves as a compact desktop interface for secondary monitoring, allowing engineers to manage listening levels and reference functions in Dante-based broadcast environments.
Up to three Model 791 units can be connected to a single StudioComm for Dante central controller using an RS-485 connection.
Yes, the Model 791 is compatible with Model 792/793 and Model 794/795 controllers that support Dante, analog, and AES3 digital signals.
The Model 791 Control Console was introduced at IBC 2026.
