Description

Edit description

The Studio Technologies Model 5401A is a powerhouse in the realm of audio synchronization, designed to seamlessly integrate into Dante® audio networks. As a dedicated Leader clock, it ensures that every device in your network beats in perfect harmony, reducing latency and jitter for an optimized audio experience. Whether you're in a bustling broadcast studio or a sprawling live event, the Model 5401A stands as the steadfast guardian of timing accuracy.

Leveraging a high-performance IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) server, this unit supports both PTP v1 and v2, making it compatible with a wide array of Dante and AES67 applications. Its internal temperature-stabilized oscillator offers a precision that outclasses standard devices, with the flexibility to lock onto external timing sources like word clock, video sync, and 10 MHz signals. This ensures your audio remains impeccably synchronized, no matter the complexity of your setup.

The Model 5401A's triple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide robust networking options, supporting independent Dante and management networks. Its integrated web server allows for intuitive configuration and monitoring, while dual power options ensure uninterrupted operation. The unit's lightweight, rack-mountable design makes it an unobtrusive yet essential addition to any professional audio environment.
