green to indicate that it is ready to pass
data with another Dante device. The SYNC
LED will light red when the Model 380 is
not synchronized with a Dante network. It
will light solid green when the Model 380
is synchronized with a Dante network and
an external clock source (timing reference)
is being received. It will slowly flash green
when the Model 380 is part of a Dante
network and is serving as a clock master.
It’s possible that up to 30 seconds may
be required for the SYNC LED to reach
its final state.
How to Identify a Specific
Model 380
The Dante Controller software applica-
tion offers an identify command that can
be used to help locate a specific Model
380. When identify is selected it will send
a command to a single Model 380 unit.
On that specific unit the talkback push-
button’s orange LED will flash on and off
approximately eight times. (The on/off
status of the button will not change.) In
addition, the SYS and SYNC status LEDs,
located directly below the etherCON RJ45
connector on the bottom panel, will slowly
flash green. After a few seconds the LED
identification pattern will cease and normal
Model 380 button LED and Dante status
LED operation will resume.
Headphone Listen Level
Three rotary potentiometers (“pots”),
located on the Model 380’s top panel,
allow adjustment of the level of the two
audio input signals and sidetone as they
are sent to the 2-channel headphone out-
put. How the pots function will depend
on how the headphone output has been
configured. In the dual-channel mode
channel 1 audio will be sent to the left
channel and channel 2 audio will be sent
to the right channel. Sidetone audio will
be sent to both the left and right head-
phone output channels. In the monaural
mode the two audio inputs and the side-
tone audio are summed (mixed) and sent
to only the left channel of the headphone
output. No signal will be present on the
right channel output.
The pots are “push-in/push-out” type
which allow their associated knobs to be
in their “out” position to be adjusted and
their “in” position when protection from an
unwanted change is desired. When a pot
is in its fully counterclockwise position the
associated audio signal is fully muted.
Users should find the headphone output
audio quality to be excellent, with high
maximum output level and low distortion.
Analog audio signals do not pass directly
through the level pots. The position of the
pots is recognized by the Model 380’s
processor which then adjusts the signal
level within the digital domain.
Compressor Active LED
A red LED indicator is located on the bot-
tom panel adjacent to the headset con-
nector. Labeled COMP, the LED displays
the status of the microphone audio com-
pressor function. It will light whenever the
input level from the microphone, along
with the configured mic preamp gain, is
such that the dynamic range of the talk
signal is being controlled. It’s perfectly ac-
ceptable for this LED to light intermittently
whenever a user is talking at a normal
voice level into the associated micro-
phone. But if the COMP LED lights solid
while a user is talking at a normal voice
level this will typically indicate that the mic
