It’s possible that some beyerdynamic headset interconnect- ing cable assemblies terminate the earpiece’s left and right For audio to pass to and from the Model 342 requires that connections opposite from what the Model 342 and other several Dante-related parameters be configured. These broadcast equipment require.

Model 342 INTERCOM STATION Device Configuration The Model 342 only supports an audio sample rate of 48 kHz with no pull-up/pull-down values available. The audio encoding is fixed for PCM 24. Device Latency and Clocking can be adjusted if required but the default value is typically correct.
STcontroller the application will locate all the Studio Technologies’ devices that it can control. The one or more Model 342 units to be configured will appear in the device list. Use the Identify command to allow easy recognition of a specific Model 342 unit.

Model 342’s MCU updates its application firmware using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet source. a file named M342vXrXX.stm where the Xs are decimal 5. After a few seconds, the Model 342 will run a “boot digits that represent the version number. loader” program that will automatically load the new application firmware file (M342vXrXX.stm).
