System Overview
The Model 210 Announcer’s Console is

suited for numerous applications including
on-air television sports broadcasting. The

and cue audio signal routing into one com-
pact system. Ease of use, configuration
flexibility, and sonic excellence are some
of the unit’s highlights.
The Model 210 is compatible with most

feed, superior audio quality is maintained.
A microprocessor provides the Model 210’s

the unit’s operation. A range of configura-
tion choices allow the desired operating
parameters to be easily selected. While
flexible, the user is presented with an easy-
to-use set of controls and indicators.
