Welcome to the iDR0 MiniRack The iDR0 is a compact, rack mountable unit housing the ‘brains’ of the iLive digital mixing system. It features a 64 input x 32 bus architecture with full channel and mix processing together with 8 internal effects processors. Unlike the bigger iDR10 unit, the iDR0 has no provision for fitting audio input and output cards. Instead, it gets its audio via the EtherSound digital audio network.
iDR0 GETTING STARTED AP7284 iss.1 V1.2 The iDR0 is similar to the iDR10 but without the slots for audio I/O cards. It is the iLive 'brain' with DSP mix engine, control and audio network interfaces. iDR0 provides a compact solution for systems using EtherSound as a digital mic splitter, or as a stand alone mixer using audio at the rear of the surface.
Installation Free standing The iDR0 can be operated as a freestanding unit for shelf or floor operation. Check that its plastic feet are fitted. Ensure adequate air flow around the unit. It must not be covered in any way. Always stand the unit on a firm flat surface away from any soft furnishings or carpet. Rack mounting The iDR0 is designed as a 19 inch rack mount unit and will occupy 2U (3.5 inches) of rack space. The plastic feet may need to be removed before rack mounting.
