iDR SERIES WHAT IS IT?

The iDR is a 16 x 16 matrix mixer

with an extensive array of audio

management tools designed to

reduce the need for additional

devices to be specified for an

installation, or carried in the hire

inventory. Pedigree ALLEN&HEATH

preamps, 24bit converters and

fixed DSP architecture ensure

that concert-quality low-latency

sound is delivered efficiently to

where it is needed.

iDR SERIES WHY IS IT SO USEFUL?

Anyone with a basic knowledge of traditional console and outboard equipment

will be able to design a distributed audio system on their PC using the ‘mixer’

based iDR System Manager software - download it free from www.idrseries.com.

iDR comes loaded with flexible DSP tools, essential in sound system configuration

and installation. Input & output delays, 4- and 8-band parametric EQ, automatic

microphone mixing, frequency conscious dynamics, look-ahead limiter, ambient

noise compensator, crossfader and much more are available at your fingertips

without having to worry about running out of DSP. Its system of presets allow for

full recall of the whole system or individual parameters at the touch of a button.

After programming, the iDR unit operates as a stand-alone system controller,

with a host of remote control devices available for day-to-day operation. The PL

Series complements the powerful features of iDR and comprises wall plates,

infra-red hand-held or desk mount controllers connecting to the main unit using

CAT5 cable over the RS485-based proprietary PL-Anet bus, while all the major

third party devices may also be used to control iDR.

For complex systems, the iDR system can be driven in real time by a PC via an

Ethernet port, allowing the iDR to be used in hire/live audio situations such as

matrix distribution in theatres, or clean feed system for an outside broadcast.

Why not connect a WiFi card to your laptop, connect to the internet, set up your

system and save your settings on the move? Stay in control from anywhere in

the world!

Network control

The main iDR units can be

easily controlled and

programmed with an

Ethernet connection to a PC

[or MAC running OSX & PC

simulator]. All iDR units on a network can

‘

seen’‚ by more than one computer,

with optional password protection so that

operators can be observed by a technician

running iDR System Manager software - or

PL Client software - anywhere on the

network or World Wide Web. iDR can

even output a log of its activities to an

email address!

Proprietary TCP/IP devices such as ‘WiFi’‚

can be used for cost effective and practical

uses; for example, a ‘wireless laptop’‚

can be used to commission or update

the sound system from exactly where the

technician needs to monitor it.

Preset System

iDR provides a system of

up to 250 presets for total

recall of system settings. A

preset can contain the

settings for all system

devices, e.g. a default preset to set the

entire system on power-up, or individual

devices can be selected for exclusive

change in a preset, e.g. a single EQ or

fader gain level. A recall crossfader is

provided to fade between different preset

levels. Sheduled preset recalls are available,

timed from the iDR internal clock. Preset

recalls can be triggered from ALLEN&HEATH

equipment (PL controllers other iDR's or

iDR-Switch) or via the serial, MIDI and

Telnet ports using third party equipment.

PL-Anet

The PL Series

is the perfect

interface

between the

iDR and the operators on site, providing

simple, non-technical switch, indicator

display, fader, IR and encoder control

options. Furthermore, as the requirements

grow at an installation, the control system

can too.

PL remotes can simply daisy chain or

use the ‘PL-Anet’ hub for star wiring

applications, and all cabling is CAT5. You

as the designer can customize these

‘plug-n-play’ remotes to do exactly what

the customer needs. Each PL has its own

simulator in iDR System Manager software,

so you can design and demo the system

offline as it will appear when the hardware

is in place.

Automatic Level Management

iDR is equipped with several

powerful modules to

manage a distributed sound

system, so an operator or

technician doesn’t always

need to be present. For instance:

✱ Microphones in a conference situation

can be controlled by any one of the

four on-board AMM’s, so that as more

open microphones join in, the gain

of the sum is reduced to prevent

feedback occurring.

✱ A comprehensive Ducking system is

provided with adjustable priorities.

✱ Ambient Noise Compensator (ANC)

enables the output level in a zone to

be automatically managed in relation

to the signal level of the changing

background noise level

✱ Level Sensing provides a logic or

soft LED output when a pre-set signal

threshold is reached, which triggers

indicators and other hardware to

respond; this allows operations such

as camera following.

✱ 2 independent paging systems are

provided, with paging to selectable

outputs. Paging switches and indicators

can be triggered via A&H controllers;

alternatively, custom paging panels

can be created and interfaced with

the system.

Expandability

As the system requirements

grow, additional iDR units

or expanders can be added

to suit the budget and

application. iDR-8 and iDR-

4 have 8-buss digital expansion ports

(RJ45) to allow units to be daisy-chained

together, or to add an iDR-In or iDR-Out

8-channel expander.

The CAT5 cables allow the units to be

placed at distances up to 250m apart,

allowing, for example, the iDR-In to provide

8 XLR mic/line inputs in a function room

on a different floor to the control room

containing the main iDR unit, or, similarly,

the iDR-Out could be configured as a

four-way-stereo XLR output to an amp rack

located at the side of a theatre stage.

Furthermore, the 8-buss link can be used

to distribute signals around a complex

network where iDR units communicate via

TCP/IP - here, interbox paging and routing

is possible.

Audio Quality

Low latency [2.23ms from

input to output] and a fixed

DSP architecture ensures

that the iDR system will

distribute coherent audio

no matter how many modules of DSP are

used in the system.

Mic preamp gain is controlled in analogue

under software control so levels can be

optimised in real time if needed. iDR-8

has a hardware limiter before the A-D

converter so that the contractor can have

confidence in the signal integrity, even if

input levels exceed what was expected.

Signal Processing

The iDR-4 & iDR-8 signal

processing architectures

provide 16 channels of

input processing and 16

channels of output

processing, centred around the 16x16

mix matrix. Using the DSP patchbays, the

user can configure these channels to either

analogue inputs/outputs or to channels

on the digital audio expansion port.

Because of the fixed architecture, you do

not need to assign DSP into the signal

path, or worry about having enough DSP

available to do the job. In iDR, we have

given you the tools you need such as noise

gates, compressors, delays, parametric

EQ and look-ahead limiters, to start working

with live audio straight away.

Adjustments are made in real time as there

is no compiling to do, and our unique

monitor buss allows you to listen to any

point in the signal path. Copy and paste

any DSP settings to quickly build up a

design, save it as a configuration file, and

use it as a template for other systems.

MIDI

iDR-8 is equipped with MIDI

in/out/thru and custom MIDI

commands can be output

as presets and recalled on

the iDR. This allows other

audio devices such as samplers and

processors to be controlled from the

main unit.

For example, dynamic MIDI control from

faders, rotary controls and keys in the iDR

system could interface with a DMX controller,

so that basic lighting control can be

programmed into iDR and run from the

PL series remote controllers.
