Description

The Model 206 Announcer’s Console is a compact broadcast interface designed to give on-air talent a simple, dependable way to manage microphone, talkback, and headphone audio in one small tabletop unit. Built for environments such as sports broadcasting, eSports, live events, streaming, and production spaces where room is limited, it combines Dante audio networking with direct analog microphone connectivity for flexible integration into modern and traditional setups. Its rugged steel enclosure and straightforward control layout make it well suited for fast deployment in demanding professional environments.

This console is designed to create an efficient single-user announcer position with minimal setup. A microphone, headphones, and a PoE network connection are all it takes to get started, while the main and talkback controls allow quick, intuitive communication during live production. The headphone section is especially adaptable, giving users multiple monitoring options for cue, program, and sidetone signals so it can fit a wide range of workflows without feeling complicated to operate.

With excellent audio performance, reliable construction, and support for Dante, AES67, and STcontroller configuration, the Model 206 offers a practical solution for productions that need professional results in a very small footprint. It is a strong fit for broadcasters and technical teams looking for a clean, space-saving announcer console that delivers clear audio, flexible routing, and dependable day-to-day operation.
