Output Routing

The output routing matrix lets you patch the  
iD Mixer outputs to the physical outputs on  
iD14.

There are three sources that you can select 
for the physical outputs:

Main Mix

This is the main output of the iD mixer, so 
any channel in the mixer that is turned up 
and unmuted with signal will be present in 
the Main Mix. This is typically what is used 
for the speaker output.

Cue Mix

The cue sends on each channel are 
summed to the Cue Master found in the 
Master Section, the output of which is the 
Cue Mix. This is commonly used to create 
headphone mixes.

Daw Mix

This bypasses the iD14 monitor section 
hardwiring the signal from DAW to output. 
This stops the encoder from changing the 
volume of the audio and is the equivalent of 
having the volume set to full (so be careful 
when changing the speaker output to Daw 
Mix as it could be very loud!). 

This is useful if you want to do headphone 
mixes in the box rather than using the cue 
mixes or using an output as a hardware 
send for example.

WARNING!

When setting Cue or Daw Mix, be wary of 
the levels that are going into the speakers. 
Make sure to turn down the audio source 
(or Cue master when using the Cues) 
BEFORE selecting Cue/Daw mix and then 
turn it up to taste.

Example Setups

up iD14, please visit the iD14 support page

SOFTWARE FEATURES

System Panel

The system panel is where all the settings 
of iD14 are configured. Here you can set 
the digital input settings, talkback channel 
assignement, mono mode, and output 
routing. It also allows you to save and load 
mixer presets which is useful if you have 
multiple configurations for the mixer.

To open the system panel, press the 
SYSTEM button found in the master
section or use Command  + 4 in
OSX, or Ctrl + 4 in Windows.

Clocking

If optically expanding iD14, you need to 
make sure it syncs with that device. The 
external device must be the master, so set 
the sample rate you want on that device, 
then set the iD14 preferred clock source to 
Optical. Look at the Clock source Status LED 
for the status of this connection.

Red 

- No external device or no clock signal detected

Amber

 - Detected but sample rates do not match.

Green

 - Valid clock source - iD14 will lock

Digital Input Format

Select 8-ch ADAT or 2-ch 

S/PDIF input modes for 

the optical input here.

ADAT 8-ch 44.1 - 48kHz, 

4-ch 88.2kHz - 96kHz.

S/PDIF 2-ch all rates

Clock Source

Select internal or optical input 

as the clock source. Ensure 

all sample rates match your 

DAW session and computer 

settings 

Clock Source Status LED

Indicates whether a valid 

clock source is present on the 

optical input

Talkback Assign

Select any available iD14

input (analogue or digital) to 

be the source for talkback 

and routed to cues. Mixer 

channel becomes talkback  

with no feedback possibility

Mono Mode

Set whether sum-to-mono

creates a mono sum in one 

loudspeaker (one acoustic 

source) or creates a ‘phantom 

centre’ sum (two acoustic 

sources) - they sound different

Save and Load

Save and load your own mixer 

configurations

 

Routing Matrix

Select what is sent to either 

the main output or the 

headphone output.
