iDR-inand iDR-outare add-on audio expander units for the iDR-8audio mix processor. They provide additional analogue audio inputs and outputs to add to those on the main unit. The iDR-inhas 8 mic/line inputs, the iDR-outhas 8 line outputs. Only one of each may be added to the iDR system bringing it up to a maximum 16x16 audio matrix. These units do not have any processing built in. They simply convert the analogue audio to an 8 channel wide digital bus which feeds the main unit via a CAT5 STP cable. The processing is available on the main unit which features the full 16x16 matrix. Both units have 8 front panel LEDs in addition to the 3 status indicators. These are 3-colour soft LEDs which can be assigned as audio meters, mute indicators or static patch related indicators. They are programmed in the usual way using the iDR System Manager software. The iDR-infeatures the same input preamps as the main unit, complete with switchable 48V phantom power, 20dB pad, gain control and pre-converter soft limiter. Control of the expanders is via the DR-Link port using a CAT5 STP cable. This means that two CAT5 cables are required to interconnect an expander to the main unit. Maximum distance between the units is 250 metres. Local mains power is required.

Make sure you have read the Important Safety Instructions printed earlier. Also check that your local mains supply is compatible with that printed on the rear panel of the unit. Ensure that the correct mains lead with moulded plug and IEC connector has been supplied. For your own safety and optimum performance make sure the system is correctly grounded.

To avoid any unexpected audible clicks or thumps always turn connected power amplifiers down or off before switching the iDR or any other signal equipment on or off.

Check the connections The iDR-inAUDIO OUT

connects to the iDR-8AUDIO IN. The iDR-outAUDIO IN connects to the iDR-8AUDIO OUT. Ensure that the expander DR-Link IN connects to DR-Link on the iDR-8it is associated with. If both expanders connect to the same iDR-8then daisy chain from DR-Link OUT on one to DR-Link IN on the other.

Audio Exp:In/Out

Turning the expander on or off Turn the unit on

by pressing the rear panel power ON/OFF switch. The power LED lights up. The link LED lights if the DR-Link connection is established with the iDR-8. Then the lock LED lights once audio communication is established with the iDR-8. The iDR System Manager detects the presence of the expander.

Checking for expanders You can use the front

panel iDR-8Setup menus to check if any expanders are connected and working. This is useful when the expanders are located far away from the main unit. With the face plate removed access menu *8 Diagnostics and scroll to Audio Exp.
