Allen & Heath IDR8 Digital System Controller

The Allen & Heath iDR system is a set of components whose hardware, control and signal processing flexibility make it well suited to many installed, live sound and special project applications. 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.
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. The PC control can be password protected for security. Once configured it runs stand alone using its built...
