Each provides a combination of high-performance analog and digital audio capabilities with an extensive set of user features and configurable resources, making them ideal for broadcast, sports, eSports, live event, and streaming applications. Requiring only minimal connections for deployment, the new line provides one on-air talent with all the resources they need to support a wide range of scenarios.

The units support the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards to implement audio-over-Ethernet networking connectivity. For enhanced network reliability, redundant stream performance following the ST 2022-7 standard is also supported. Housed in a compact, rugged, steel enclosure, the units are intended for tabletop use, small enough for use “court-side” or in a crowded booth, yet flexible enough for numerous remote production workflows.

All three models integrate directly into ST 2110 environments. With just a PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) Gigabit Ethernet network connection, a microphone, and a pair of headphones, a complete broadcast on-air position can be created. With the addition of a second Ethernet connection, enhanced ST 2110 performance can be achieved using the ST 2022-7 Redundant Streams standard. The Model 5536 supports ten ST 2110 receiver (input) channels and an integrated sidetone function that allows users to easily create their desired headphone audio mix. An eleventh ST 2110 receiver (input) channel allows an alternate talk microphone audio source to be created.

The Model 5536, Model 5524 and Model 5532 have a compact enclosure with overall dimensions of 6.7 inches wide (17.0 cm), 3.2 inches high (8.1 cm), and 6.1 inches deep (15.5 cm). Main, secondary, and FPGA (programmable logic) firmware can be updated on all three products, using the USB port on the back of the unit; the ST 2110 firmware can be updated via one of the Ethernet connections.
