The MixRack
is the heart of the digital audio processing
system, housing the
64x32 DSP mix engine
together with
control and audio networking interfaces. The DSP can be
configured for mono/stereo and type of mix (group, aux,
mains, matrix). The system provides full dynamics, EQ and
delay processing for all inputs and masters, 8 built-in
‘RackExtra’ effects and 16 DCA groups. The 8FX returns add
to the 64 channels providing up to 72 sources to the mix. All
racks provide the full 64x32 DSP processing and differ only
in the number of physical inputs and outputs available. The
Port B option allows digital mic splitting and system
expansion from a choice of audio networking cards.
iDR-64
Biggest rack:
9U, 64 Mic/Line in, 32 out, Port B
iDR-48
Standard rack: 8U, 48 Mic/Line in, 24 out, Port B
iDR-32
Mid sized rack: 6U, 32 Mic/Line in, 16 out, Port B
iDR-16
Smallest rack: 3U, 16 Mic/Line in, 8 out, Port B
These MixRacks are also available with
AES digital outputs
fitted (last card replaced with 2 dual channel AES sockets).
xDR-16
Audio expander: 16 Mic/Line in, 8 out, Port B
The Surface
is simply a
network controller
for the
MixRack. It has a built-in interface for local audio
which is transported to and from the MixRack via the
ACE connection along with the Ethernet control. Each
bank of faders has 4 or 6 layers providing a total of 72,
80 or 112 control strips depending on Surface size.
These strips are freely assignable as inputs, mix
masters or DCAs in any combination.
iLive-T112
Biggest surface:
28 faders, 4 layers = 112 strips
16 local line in = 8 TRS, 4 RCA, 2 SPDIF
14 local out = 8 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor
iLive-T80
Mid sized surface:
20 faders, 4 layers = 80 strips
8 local line in = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF
10 local out = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor
iLive-R72
Smallest surface:
12 faders, 6 layers = 72 strips
8 local line in = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF
10 local out = 4 TRS, 2 RCA, 1 SPDIF, Monitor
PL Series controllers
A range of remote controllers
is available with assignable switches, LEDs, encoders
and faders. A PL-8 4in/4out GPIO controller is also
available. These connect to the MixRack via the PL-
Anet serial port using CAT5 cable and can be
configured using the Surface or laptop. The PL-9 hub
is allows star point instead of daisy chain connection.
More information on the PL Series is available on the
Allen & Heath web site.
