R Remote software is used instead of a mixing console R series Unit ID When using multiple R series I O rack devices in the system make sure a unique ID number is set for each device There are many more Unit ID numbers available for R series devices up to 32 for the original Rio and 128 for the newer Rio D2 range You will notice that the ID numbers are in hexadecimal format ...
