SERIAL NUMBER DIGITAL EXPANDER Made in the UK by ALLEN&HEATH LIMITED Complies with UL6500, CSA-E65, EN60065 LINE OUTPUTS iDR-in and iDR-out are add-on audio expander units for the Allen & Heath iDR-4 and iDR-8 audio mix processors. They provide additional analogue audio inputs and outputs to add to those on the main unit. The iDR-in has 8 mic/line inputs, the iDR-out has 8 line outputs. One or both may be connected to the iDR. Only one of each may be added to the iDR system bringing it up to a maximum 16x16 audio matrix. These units do not have any processing built in. They simply convert between analogue and digital audio to work with an 8 channel wide digital bus which feeds the main unit via a CAT5 STP cable. The iDR-in features high grade mic/line preamps with PC configured gain, pad and phantom power switching, and a built-in soft clip limiter. The iDR-out provides electronically balanced differential outputs. The processing is available on the main iDR-4 or iDR-8 unit which features the full 16x16 DSP matrix. Both units have 8 front panel LEDs in addition to the 3 status indicators. These are 3-colour soft LEDs which can be assigned as audio meters, mute indicators or patch related indicators. They are programmed in the usual way using the iDR System Manager software. Control of the expanders is via the DR-Link port using a CAT5 STP cable. This means that two CAT5 cables are required to interconnect an expander to the main unit. Maximum distance between the units is 250 metres. Local mains power is required. This product complies with the European Electromagnetic Compatibility directives 89/336/EEC & 92/31/EEC and the European Low Voltage Directives 73/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC. NOTE: Do not remove the cover of the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Any changes or modifications to the equipment not approved by Allen & Heath could void the compliance of the equipment and therefore the users authority to operate it. iDR-in/out User Guide AP4774 Issue 2 Copyright © 2003 Allen & Heath Limited.

There are no user controls on the front panel, only the status and assignable LEDs. Allow a minimum of 75mm clearance behind the unit for the connectors and cables. Ensure adequate ventilation to the side of and behind the unit. It is shipped with its rack ears fitted and its feet removed ready to be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack. 1U rack space is required. For desk mount operation remove the two rack ears using a Torx (star head) T10 screwdriver. Fit the four plastic feet provided by pressing them into the underside. 44mm 48mm 1.7" 1.9" 1U iDR-in and iDR-out EXPANDERS 443mm 17.4" lock link 483mm 19" power iDR-in AUDIO INPUT EXPANDER lock link power iDR-out AUDIO OUTPUT EXPANDER 307mm 12" Remove 2x rack ears M3 Torx T10 Fit 4x feet 100 - 240V~ 47-63Hz ~ 25W MAX FUSE: T500mAL 232mm 9.1" 75mm 3" Make sure you have read the Important Safety Instructions printed earlier. Also check that your local mains supply is compatible with that printed on the rear panel of the unit. Ensure that the correct mains lead with moulded plug and IEC connector has been supplied. For your own safety and optimum performance make sure the system is correctly grounded. WARNING THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED. ATTENTION: REMPLACER LE FUSIBLE AVEC UN DES MEMES CARACTERISTIQUES.

To avoid any unexpected audible clicks or thumps always turn connected power amplifiers down or off before switching the iDR or any other signal equipment on or off. Turning the expander on or off lock link power First make sure the unit is correctly plugged up and connected to the iDR-4(8). This is described below. Turn the unit on by pressing the rear panel power ON/OFF switch. The power LED lights up. The link LED lights if the DR-Link connection is established with the iDR-4(8). The lock LED lights once the link is established and audio is correctly communicated with the iDR-4(8). The iDR System Manager detects the presence of the expander. If one or more of the LEDs do not light then check that the cables are correctly fitted and the iDR-4(8) is functioning normally. *8 Diagnostics Audio Exp:In/Out 2 Checking for expanders You can use the front panel iDR-4(8) Setup menus to check if any expanders are connected and recognised. This is useful when the expanders are located far away from the main unit. With the face plate removed access menu *8 Diagnostics and scroll to Audio Exp. Refer to the iDR-4 user guide AP5230 or iDR-8 user guide AP4530 for further details.

The iDR-in AUDIO OUT connects to the iDR-4(8) AUDIO IN. The iDR-out AUDIO IN connects to the iDR-4(8) AUDIO OUT. Ensure that the expander DR-Link IN connects to DR-Link on the iDR-4(8) it is associated with. If both expanders are used with the same iDR-4(8) then daisy chain from DR-Link OUT on one to DR-Link IN on the other. DR-Link can also be daisy chained from or to iDR-switch units if you are using them as well.

Make sure you plug into the correct DR-Link socket. IN OUT AUDIO DR-LINK iDR iDR-in Use CAT5 STP cable. A pair of standard 2 metre cables is provided with each expander. Maximum cable length is 250 metres. This means that the expander units can be used for remote audio over CAT5 cable.

A system could also be created with iDR-4 units or a mix of iDR4 and iDR-8 units. DR-Link is only required to connect to the expanders, not between the main units. Make sure you connect DR-Link to the iDR associated with each expander. Make sure you plug into the correct DR-Link socket. In this case do not daisy chain DR-Link from one expander to the other. Use CAT5 STP cable. Maximum cable length is 250 metres. Maximum audio matrix is 16x16. The audio link cable carries 8 channels. This can provide a distributed system with 8 common channels and 8 local channels at each unit.
