Studio Technologies IFB Plus Model 33A Talent Amplifier

Studio Technologies IFB Plus Model 33 Talent AmplifierThe Model 33 Talent Amplifier is a self-contained "belt pack" unit that drives talent earpieces or headsets. A single 3-conductor microphone-type cable links the Model 2 with the talent amplifier. Each Model 33 contains both a male and female XLR-type connector, allowing simple "loop through" connection of multiple units.

Up to four talent amplifiers can be connected to, and powered by, a single Model 2 Central Controller. The audio output signal is provided on a standard 1/4-inch phone jack. An LED lights whenever power is present, providing setup assistance and user confidence. The Model 33 is housed in a lightweight, yet rugged, aluminum housing that includes a belt clip. An optional mounting adapter is available, allowing a Model 33 to be installed in a permanent location. The Model 33 is unique in that a "mix" of IFB channels 1 and 2 can be created. Two level controls, along with a source select switch, allows camera and production personnel to hear IFB cues from either or both channels. This allows IFB signals intended for both technician and talent to be simultaneously monitored.
