Allen & Heath iDR-8
This is another trusted product from InstrumentPro. They have a great selection of band gear, including the Allen & Heath iDR-8 presented on this page.
Allen & Heath iDR-8 The 2U rack or desk mount iDR-8 is the main unit in the iDR system having all the DSP (Digital signal processing) power needed for 16 input and 16 output channels. It has 8 XLR analogue Mic/line inputs and 8 XLR analogue line outputs. You can add a further 8 inputs and/or 8 outputs bringing it up to a maximum 16x16 matrix by plugging in the iDR-In and/or iDR-Out audio expanders. The signal can be routed at three key points, the input source patch bay, central matrix, and output source patch bay. Although the iDR does not work with networked audio, the expanders can be located up to 250 metres away so providing remote analogue audio inputs and outputs connected using CAT5 cables. You can also daisy chain multiple iDR-8 units in a distributed system. The units are linked using an 8 channel wide bus which plugs into the Digital expander ports. Maximum matrix at any unit is 16x16 which includes the interconnecting bus. Several iDR-8 units can be linked in this way, but you can have only one iDR-In and one iDR-Out expander per system. This is described later. There are many operator control possibilities. You can configure the 16 front panel keys and 32 3- colour LEDs, and use the DR-Link port to add up to 3 iDR-Switch units for up to 72 additional switch closure and 48 open-collector logic outputs. In addition you can choose two of the following: MIDI, the Sys-Net serial port to interface with third party remote controllers, RS232 for modem communication, and the PL-Anet serial port for setting up a network of Allen & Heath PL wall plates and controllers. The iDR-8 features networked control. It is configured using the iDR System Manager software via an Ethernet port either connected directly to the installer’s PC, or over a TCP/IP network. Once configured it runs stand alone using its built-in iDR Unit software with stored settings. iDR units can also be operated from networked PC workstations running PL Client software configured as ‘virtual’ wall plates by the installer using PL Designer software. An RS232 modem port lets the installer remotely interrogate units. A front panel RS232 port allows easy operating code update. Audio Processing At the heart of iDR-8 is a pair of powerful Motorola DSPs. Having somuch processing muscle available has several major advantages: iDR-8 has a fixed architecture with full processing for allinputs and outputs, so the installer does not have to think about conserving orallocating resources iDR-8 has a 48kHz, 16x16 mode and anaudiophile 96kHz, 8x8 mode No DSP or delay expanders areneeded - everything is included in the standard unit.
