- Page 3 D&R is known for is integrated throughout the AIRMATE-USB. Using balanced microphones & cables allows for the quietest and high qual- ity audio signals throughout your Airmate-USB mixer. You can use standard balanced Mic cables available at any pro audio dealer or music store.
- Page 4 EQUALIZER Each module has a stereo three band equalizer to control the high, mid, and low frequencies individually. The D&R designers used carefully chosen frequencies in the equalizer circuitry to enhance the Mic input as well as the ste- reo A & B line inputs. AUX SEND The next control is a stereo Aux send that sends stereo source signals to the stereo Aux send buss Master and then to the output connectors on the Master back panel.
- Page 5 If you are going to make a cable yourselves, do it like this. Connect the tip from the stereo cable to the tip of one of the mono jacks and the ring of the stereo cable to the tip of the other mono jack. Now insert the stereo jack into the Airmate’s insert and connect the mono jack that produces a hum when the tip is touched by your finger (and the related channel fader is open) into the processors output.
- Page 6 Located on the input channel circuit boards are several jumpers that can be changed to enable different configura- tions of the channel settings. If changes are required, we advise you to contact your local dealer to have these changes performed. The following 7 jumper settings can be changed to adjust the Airmate-USB to your needs. JUMP- DEFAULT DESCRIPTION Optional R.I.A.A.
- Page 7 Below the Aux send is the stereo CUE switch (Pre Fader Listening), this switch allows you to check the signal before you mix it with the other signals in the Airmate-USB. The ON switch is used to make a connection that can start turntables and CD play- ers as well as jingle or cart machines.

- Page 12 Each Airmate-USB hybrid module has a Telephone line (WALL) connection and a handset con- nection. Thousands of D&R Telephone Hybrids (also built into this Airmate-USB) are used in radio and television broadcasting facilities around the World allowing external callers to be connected to the studio mixer for live broadcast.
- Page 13 TALKBACK By pushing the TB switch on the Hybrid module, the internal talkback microphone is activated and allows you to talk to the caller without being ON-Air. AUX SEND Below the TB switch is the stereo Aux send that can be set to send stereo source signals pre or post fader (pre or post jumper settings on the circuit board).
- Page 14 SPECIAL AVAILABLE OPTIONS IN YOUR AIRMATE-TELCO MODULE On the input PCB of your AIRMATE-USB module there are several jumpers that can be changed to enable different configurations of the channel settings. This should be done by a D&R dealer or service center.
- Page 15 MASTER SECTION The AIRMATE-USB master section houses all the controls for the mix buss faders and master controls for Aux re- turn, 2-Track play-back, and master outputs. Individual functions are described below. LEDBAR METERS The master section has two high-res 21 segment LEDbar meters with VU meter Ballistics. Depending on which switch is pressed (Cue on channels, AUX SEND master, AUX RET, 2 TRACK, etc.), the master meters will allow the...
- Page 16 LOWER THAN 400 Ohms to avoid mismatch or distortion. An 8 Ohm set of headphones will produce distortion when crank- ing up the level of the Airmate-USB due to the impedance load is too low. If you must use 8 ohm phones, a small power amp should be used to power the phones.
- Page 17 NC (Normal Close) NOTE: Our latest D&R ON-AIR warning light design does not need an external relay. Just 2 wires from the remote control output jack (tip-ring) of your AIRMATE-USB to the barrier strip inside the ON-AIR lamp and that is it!
- Page 18 MAINS CONNECTOR The mains inlet is a Euro type connector with built in fuse. Your AIRMATE-USB can accept voltages between 210 volts and 230 volts 50/60Hz or with the proper modification for 120 volts. When using the Airmate-USB at 220 volts, a 1 amp slow-blow fuse should be used, however, when using the mixer at 120 volts, a 2 amo slow-blow fuse should be used.
- Page 19 • connected sources. Use the input gain for precise adjustments. Be carefully not to place the AIRMATE-USB near heavy power transformers such as power amps. Although the AIRMATE-USB is constructed using a thick medal frame, this could cause hum. 11. SETTING UP THE USB MODULES Input modules 5 &...
