Allen & Heath Ships iDR8-ST With Euroblock Connectors

The iDR digital series and GR05 analog zone mixer are now manufactured in two versions: the original model with the existing XLR connectors, and a new 'ST' model fitted with Euroblock connectors. "We created the ST models following feedback from customers, which revealed that in many installations, multiple insertion standard connectors, such as XLRs, that are time-consuming to wire up on site, are not required. Offering Euroblock connectors will provide significant cost and time saving reductions for installers and contractors, as they can simply wire products straight in and no longer need to fit XLR connectors. It's a more flexible option for our customers," comments Glenn Rogers, Managing Director for Allen & Heath. The PL-11 IR receiver is useful where open or 'hidden' system settings need to be changed by authorized personnel, as they do not have any unguarded controls. 14 soft keys on the PL-5 can be programmed to manage functions such as levels, mutes, preset recall and MIDI strings for external equipment interfacing. iDR systems also provide tally / RS232 out, and IR protocol is contained in the System Manager software download bundle. The new iDR D-in and iDR D-out units provide expansion options of up to 250m on CAT5 cable using the AES/EBU protocol. Allen & Heath's iDR audio system is a 16in/16out DSP mixing and processing solution in a box, designed for installed and live audio systems. The system is easily expandable, packed with processing power and endowed with a wide selection of remote control options. The iDR-8 offers full integration with other systems and industry standard communication protocols. For full information , please visit http://www.idrseries.com
