Replacement

The rear of the IRIS receiver card has a recessed, keyed male connector which carries needed digital signals for allowing the IRIS system to be connected to coming Hafler IRIS-compatible accessories, in a manner similar to which dispersed computer terminals can share the same data lines without confusion.

The TUNER legend commands already on the remote will automatically route to the soon coming IRIS-compatible TUNER, after you have selected TUNER, if it is powered. Similar logic exists on the CD selection. The CLR (CLeaR) KEY allows you to return to normal preamplifier input selection.

A STEADY flashing of the MUTE LED tells you that automatic command out-routing is in effect. If RECORD SECURITY is also ineffect, the INTERRUPTED flashing will override the STEADY flashing, telling you that IRIS refuses to enter TUNER (or CD) changes from the remote, during recording.

This KEY is included to minimize the risk of system obsoles- cence by allowing for future accessories which may require more detailed instructions than can be provided by IRIS’ usual easy single keystroke commands.

You can preview this operation, and also observe the STEADY MUTE LED flashing discussed above, by KEYing SX and following with any sequence of the top 8 KEYS depressed within 3 second intervals.

All IRIS-compatible accessories will also have a similar (syn- chronously) flashing indicator showing when they are RE- SPONDING to out-routed commands.

The RED (Completed-Frame) indicator, on the transmitter, is arranged to grow dimmer rapidly, when batteries are approach- ing end-of-life. Even though the remote will still work, its range will be less and corrosion could begin to set in-if this condition is left too long.

Replacement batteries: (4) AA type, preferably Alkaline.

IRIS specifications

The Hafler IRIS is a noteworthy advancement in the realm of audio technology, particularly designed for audiophiles and sound engineers seeking high fidelity listening experiences. This speaker system epitomizes the confluence of innovative design and high-performance engineering, making it a favored choice among sound enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the Hafler IRIS is its utilization of advanced crossover technology. The IRIS employs a meticulously designed passive crossover network that ensures a seamless transition between different frequency ranges. This technology allows for crisp highs, detailed mids, and powerful lows, creating a well-balanced sound profile that can accurately reproduce even the most complex audio tracks.

The speaker design incorporates a unique enclosure that minimizes distortion and enhances acoustic performance. This sturdy construction not only mitigates unwanted vibrations but also provides an optimal acoustic environment for sound reproduction. The IRIS is crafted with high-quality materials, including dense MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), which further contributes to its robust build and resonance-free performance.

Another significant characteristic of the Hafler IRIS is its driver configuration. The system typically includes a high-performance woofer, midrange, and tweeter, each meticulously selected to ensure compatibility and performance consistency. The woofer is designed to deliver deep bass response, while the midrange driver excels in delivering vocals and instrumental clarity. The tweeter is engineered to reproduce high frequencies with precision, ensuring that every note resonates with clarity.

Hafler has also integrated innovative technologies to enhance user experience. With features like bi-wiring capability, audiophiles can connect their amplifiers directly to the woofer and tweeter separately, allowing for improved control over each driver’s performance. This flexibility enables users to tailor their listening experiences to meet personal preferences and requirements.

Furthermore, the Hafler IRIS is designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of audio setups, whether in professional studios or home listening environments. Its sleek aesthetic allows it to complement modern décor, making it an attractive addition to any space.

Overall, the Hafler IRIS delivers a compelling mix of design, technology, and sound quality, making it a preferred choice for those who seek a sophisticated listening experience. Its commitment to high performance and user-centric design principles ensures that it stands out in the competitive landscape of audio technology.
