Studio Technologies - Model 5532

Model 5532 Programmer and Producer Console with ST2110

Model 5532 is a compact and robust commentary unit designed for professional broadcast, e-sports and live productions. It combines high audio quality with support for modern network protocols such as SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022-7, making it ideal for IP-based productions and REMI/At-Home workflows.

The unit offers a class-leading microphone preamplifier, user-controlled headphone mix, and one main and two talkback channels - all in a convenient format that fits equally well in OB buses and temporary studio setups.

With dual PoE network ports, web-based configuration, and support for NMOS and ANEMAN Audio Network Manager, the Model 5532 is both flexible and reliable in modern production environments.
