Studio Technologies launched its StudioComm Model 794 Central Controller and Model 795 Control Console. The company said that the new system was designed for audio monitoring applications including use in post-production, ingest and on-air facilities. The system will be showcased for the first time at NAB 2026 (Booth C6808).

The Model 794 is available in four versions with different input resources– 794-01, 794-02, 794-03 and 794-04. The Model 794-01 features Dante audio-over-Ethernet and analog inputs and outputs. The Model 794-02 includes AES3 digital audio inputs and the Model 794-03 adds unbalanced AES3 digital audio inputs. The Model 794-04 contains two additional analog inputs. All four 1U rack-mounted Model 794 units work with the Model 795 Control Console. The company said that the web-based menu system aims to allow for several configurations of system operating features.

All of the configuration options feature two 5.1 (6-channel) Dante digital audio inputs, two stereo (2-channel) Dante digital audio inputs, one 5.1 (6-channel) analog audio input and two stereo (2-channel) analog line inputs. The Model 794-02 offers one 5.1 and one stereo balanced AES3 digital audio input and the Model 794-03 implements one 5.1 and one stereo unbalanced AES3 digital audio input. The Model 794-04 adds a second analog 5.1 input and a third stereo input.

All systems include two 5.1 (6-channel) Dante digital audio outputs, two stereo (2-channel) Dante digital audio outputs, one 5.1 (6-channel) analog audio output, and one stereo (2-channel) analog audio output. Bass management, down mix and cue mix capability features can be configured, and each Model 794 version includes three configurable Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces. Two of the interfaces can be utilized for audio transportation and the other for management menu system access.

A shielded multi-conductor cable with a 9-pin male D-sub plug is included in each system for linkage of Model 794 and Model 795. Studio Technologies said that the Model 791 is perfect for locations with a primary focus on control of the monitoring level due to its control capabilities. The StudioComm system is powered by 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz or an external source of 12 Vdc.

“The StudioComm system, built around the Model 794 and companion control consoles, delivers a fully integrated 5.1 and stereo monitoring platform that unifies Dante, analog, and AES3 audio sources for professional broadcast, production, and post-production environments,” said Gordon Kapes,President of Studio Technologies.“We look forward to highlighting this expanded line of StudioComm product offerings at NAB 2026.”
