impedance of a connected microphone 

will be 400 ohms greater when presented 

to the microphone output. This will slightly 

raise the theoretical noise floor of the  

microphone signal vis-a-vis the micro-

phone output but shouldn’t have any 

impact on real-world applications.
As previously discussed, if the connected 

microphone requires P12 or P48 phantom 

power it must be provided by way of a 

connection made to the Model 380’s  

microphone output connector. The phan-

tom power will “pass through” to the 

Model 380’s microphone input connector 

and on to a connected microphone. The 

state of the muting circuitry (muted or  

not muted) will not impact the phantom 

power source. The series resistance  

(approximately 200 ohms in each leg 

of the balanced signal) should also not 

impact the phantom power being provided 

to a connected microphone.

Dante Configuration

For audio to pass to and from the Model 

380 requires that several Dante-related 

parameters be configured. These configu-

ration settings will be stored in non-volatile 

memory within the Model 380’s circuitry. 

Configuration will typically be done with 

the Dante Controller software application 

which is available for download free of 

charge at www.audinate.com. Versions 

of Dante Controller are available to sup-

port Windows® and OS X® operating 

systems. The Model 380 uses the Ultimo 

2-input/2-output integrated circuit to imple-

ment the Dante architecture.
The two Dante transmitter (Tx) channels 

associated with the Model 380’s Dante 

interface must be assigned to the desired 

receiver channels. This achieves routing 

the Model 380’s two output audio chan-

nels to the device (or devices) that will  

be “listening” to them. Within Dante  

Controller a “subscription” is the term 

used for routing a transmitter flow (a  

group of output channels) to a receiver 

flow (a group of input channels). The  

number of transmitter flows associated 

with an Ultimo integrated circuit is limited 

to two. These can either be unicast,  

multicast, or a combination of the two.  

If the Model 380’s transmitter channels 

need to be routed to more than two flows 

it’s possible that an intermediary device, 

such as a rack-mounted digital signal  

processor unit with more available flows, 

can be used to “repeat” the signals.
The two Dante receiver (Rx) channels 

associated with the Model 380’s audio 

inputs also need to be routed to the de-

sired Dante transmitter channels. These 

two audio signals will be sent to the Model 

380’s 2-channel headphone output.
The Model 380 supports audio sample 

rates of 44.1 and 48 kHz with a limited 

selection of pull-up/pull-down values  

available. In most cases the default will  

be used and a pull-up or pull-down rate 

will not be selected. The Model 380 can 

serve as the clock master for a Dante 

network but in most cases it will be config-

ured to “sync” to another device.
The Model 380 has a default Dante device 

name of 

ST-M380

 and a unique suffix.  

The suffix identifies the specific Model 380 

that is being configured. The suffix’s actual 

alpha and/or numeric characters relate to 

the MAC address of the unit’s Ultimo inte-

grated circuit. The two Dante transmitter
