eSPORTS CONSOLE
will locate the devices that it can control. The
one or more Model 207 units to be config-
ured will appear in the device list. Use the
Identify command to allow easy recognition
of a specific Model 207 unit. Double-clicking
on a device name will cause the associated
configuration menu to appear. Review the
current configuration and make any changes
that are desired.
Parameters
The configurable functions include:
• Microphone input – electret power on/off
• Microphone input – gain
• Stereo line input – gain
• Headphone output routing, controls, and
sidetone
• Button Operation – main and talkback
• System – operating mode and LED light
intensity
Changes made using STcontroller will be
immediately reflected in the unit’s operation;
no Model 207 “reboot” is required. Each time
a change is made the main and talkback but-
tons on the front panel will both flash orange
in a distinctive pattern to indicate that a com-
mand from STcontroller has been received.
Microphone Input – Electret Power
Choices are
Enabled
and
Disabled
.
Enable the Electret Power check box if the
connected headset has an electret micro-
phone which requires a source of low-
voltage DC power for operation. In virtually
all cases a gaming or computer headset that
uses a 3.5 mm TRRS plug will require mi-
crophone power. If the associated headset
has a dynamic (non-powered) microphone
do not the Electret Power check box. Most
broadcast headsets that terminate on 5-pin
male XLR connectors will not require micro-
phone power. The on/off status of the micro-
phone power is displayed by way of an LED,
red in color, that is located on the Model
207’s back panel adjacent to the Headset A
connector.
Note that the Model 207 cannot supply P12
or P48 phantom power that may be required
for balanced condenser (capacitor) micro-
phones. In almost all cases this should not
pose an issue as phantom-powered micro-
phones are essentially never associated
with headsets that are used for Model 207
applications.
Microphone Input – Gain
Choices are
24 dB
,
30 dB
,
36 dB
,
42 dB
,
and
48 dB
.
The gain of the Model 207’s microphone
preamplifier can be selected from among
five choices. The compressor active LED,
located adjacent to the headset A connector,
can act as a guide when setting the preamp
gain. When a voice signal at a normal level
is present on the connected headset (A
or B) the compressor active LED should
light intermittently. If, for example, it rarely
lights and the gain is set to 36 dB, it might
be a good idea to change the setting to
42 dB. If the compressor LED is lit fully
during normal talking and the gain is set for
42 or 48 dB, a change to one of the lower
values might be warranted. There’s no “hard
and fast” rule about which gain setting is
appropriate. But unless otherwise indicated,
42 dB is typically a good initial choice for a
headset that uses a dynamic microphone
and 30 dB for a headset that includes an
electret microphone.
