Fully expanded iDR-8This diagram shows the iDR-8with both the input and output expander fitted. Note the connection of DR-Link which is daisy chained from one unit to the next. If an iDR-switchunit is also fitted then daisy chain DR-Link from the last expander to the switch box. Make sure you plug into the correct DR-Link socket.

Use CAT5 STP cable. A pair of standard 2 metre cables is provided with each expander. Maximum cable length is 250 metres. This means that the expander units can be used for remote audio over CAT5 cable.

Expanded multiple iDR-8 system This diagram

shows an iDR system with two iDR-8units and both expanders fitted. DR-Link is only required to connect to the expanders, not between the main units. Make sure you connect DR-Link to the iDR-8associated with each expander. Make sure you plug into the correct DR-Link socket. In this case do not daisy chain DR-Link from one expander to the other.

Use CAT5 STP cable. Maximum cable length is 250 metres. Maximum audio matrix is 16x16. The audio link cable carries 8 channels. This can provide a distributed system with 8 common channels and 8 local channels at each unit.
