Fixed Format MixRacks 

iLive has two types of MixRack – Modular and fixed format.  This guide is for fixed format iLive.  Refer to 
the Allen & Heath web site to find out more about the modular iDR10 and iDR0 MixRacks. 

There are 4 sizes of fixed format MixRack available.  All feature the same 64x32, 8FX DSP mix engine and 
have audio and control network capability.  The difference is the number of physical input and output 
sockets available.  All models can work with the full 64 channels by patching additional sources via Port A 
(surface audio) and Port B (expander), or by adding one or two iDR-16 expander racks via Port B. 

Each size has two versions available – All analogue XLR out, or the last 4 sockets replaced with two dual 
channel AES digital outputs.  Existing racks can be modified to have one or more AES-Out option cards 
fitted. 

iDR-16

   Smallest, 3U fixed format MixRack for 

compact applications mixing up to 16 mics, or 
FOH/Monitor systems with digital mic split.

    IDR-16-DO/*  16 mic/line, 4 XLR, 2 dual AES 

 

 

iDR-32

   6U fixed format MixRack equivalent to a 

32 channel console.

    IDR-48-DO/*  48 mic/line, 20 XLR, 2 dual AES 
 
 
 

 

iDR-64

   Largest, 9U fixed format MixRack 

equivalent to a 64 channel console.

AES-Out option

   Existing MixRacks can be 

upgraded to replace one or more I/O cards to 

provide AES digital outputs.  The rack must be 
running firmware V1.9 before the card is fitted.  This 
work should be carried out by a service agent. 
Order code:
