Introduction
The IFB Plus Series Model 2 Central Con-
troller from Studio Technologies is a highly
integrated, 2-channel IFB (interruptible
foldback) system contained in a single rack
space unit. It is expressly designed to pro-
vide talent cueing for ENG, SNG, and mo-
bile production facilities. The performance
and features of the Model 2 reflect the needs
of contemporary applications. Only after ex-
tensive polling of field production and engi-
neering personnel was the Model 2’s feature
group established. We think you’ll find the
Model 2 a great addition to your facility.
