Daisy chaining iDR-8 monitors The active

monitor bus can ripple through multiple iDR-8units so that the last in the chain can be used to listen to any audio signal in the system. With no active monitor selected the signal from the previous unit is passed on to the next. Selecting an active monitor overrides the signal from the previous unit. Using the active mouse monitor you can switch between the iDR System Manager sessions and conveniently listen to any point in any unit on the same headphones.

Use well shielded balanced TRS audio cables to interconnect the monitor L and R signals over distances up to 250 metres. Take care to run the cables in such a way to avoid damage or interference pickup.

Using the Monitor as Additional Channels

You can use the monitor L and R TRS sockets as additional channel inputs and outputs. In the unexpanded iDR-8these combine with the XLR sockets to provide a 10x10 matrix as shown below.

Select Monitor IN Left and Right as the source for input channels of your choice, for example 9 and 10. Tick Independent Outputs in the Monitor Settings window to use the monitor output sockets with output channels of your choice, for example 9 and 10.
