Introduction
TheModel5204Interfaceisageneral- purposeaudiodevicethatsupportsapplicationsutilizingtheDanteTMAudio-overEthernetmedianetworkingtechnology.Two 2-channel("stereo")analogline-levelaudio signalscanbeconnectedtotheModel 5204andthenconvertedtotwochannels onanassociatedDanteconnection.
Analogaudiosignalsconnecttolineinput Abywayofa3-conductor("stereo")3.5 mmjack.Thisallowsthedirectinterfacing ofsignalsfromavarietyofsourcessuch aspersonalaudioandmultimediaplayers, smartphones,andpersonalcomputers. Thesesignalstypicallyhaveanaverage (nominal)signallevelintherangeof­20to ­10dBu.LineinputBsupportsconnection ofbalancedanalogaudiosignalsusingtwo XLRconnectors.Averagesignallevelsfor thesetypesofsignalsaretypicallyinthe rangeof0to+4dBu.Eachinputhasan associateddual-channelrotarylevelcontrol tooptimizeitsaudioperformance.Followingthelevel"pots"thesignalsfrominputs AandBaresummed(combinedormixed together)tocreateone2-channelsignal. (Thechannel1signalsoflineinputsAand Baresummedtocreateoutputchannel 1;channel2signalsoflineinputsAandB aresummedtocreateoutputchannel2.)

Thetwochannelsarethenoutputbywayof theDanteinterface.Multi-stepLEDmeters provideconfirmationofthelevelofthetwo outputaudiochannels.
TheaudioqualityoftheModel5204is excellent,withlowdistortionandnoiseand highheadroom.Carefulcircuitdesignand excellentcomponentsensurelong,reliable operation.Awiderangeofapplications canbesupported,includingTV,radio,and streamingbroadcastevents,corporateand governmentAVinstallations,andDante systemtesting.
Foruserconvenienceadedicatedchargingport(DCP)isprovidedonastandard USBtypeAconnector.Thisallowspoweringandchargingofassociateddevices, suchaspersonalaudioplayersandtablets. Thecompact,lightweightdesignallowsthe Model5204tobeusedinportableordesktopsituationsordeployedasapermanent solutioninfixedapplications.Standardconnectorsensurefast,reliabledeployment. TheunitrequiresonlyanEthernetconnectiontosupplyboththedatainterfaceas wellasPower-over-Ethernet(PoE)power. TheModel5204'saudio,data,anddedicatedchargingportusepowerprovidedby thePoEconnection.
