System Overview
The Model 233 Announcer’s Console is
designed to serve as the audio control
“hub” for announcers, commentators, and
production personnel. The tabletop unit is
suited for numerous applications including
on-air television and radio broadcasting.
The Model 233 will also perform an out-
standing role in stadium announce appli-
cations. The Model 233 is compatible with
essentially all broadcast and production
audio system environments. Standard con-
nectors are used to interface microphone,
headphone, on-air, talkback, line input, and
intercom signals.
Whether it’s the mic preamplifier, audio
switching, talkback signals, intercom inter-
facing, or headphone cue feed, superior
audio quality is maintained throughout. A
microprocessor provides the Model 233’s
logic power, allowing precise control of

configuration is a simple matter. While the

A wide range of resources, great perfor-
mance, and simplicity during use—these
are the hallmarks of the Model 233.

and then some” product. Exhaustive
research into the needs and desires of

of applications that include on-air television
and radio broadcasting, stadium announce-
ment, and simultaneous interpretation. In
