Introduction This is the user guide for the Allen & Heath iDR0 ‘MiniRack’ mix engine. We recommend that you read this fully before starting. Included is information on installing, connecting and operating the unit along with panel drawings, application drawings and technical specification.
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.

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.
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. Retain the feet for future use.
Power indicators - Blue LEDs light to indicate power present. NETWORK - A 3 port Ethernet switcher is built in. This lets you connect several network devices to the iDR0, for example an iLive Surface and a laptop running the iLive System Manager software.

Audio Clock Source (Surface TouchScreen MIXRACK / Mixer Pref / Audio Sync) - If the iDR0 is the slave getting its channel preamp sources via EtherSound network ESB in a linked FOH/Monitor system then the Clock Source should be set to ‘ESB’. If it is being used as a stand alone system getting its audio from the Surface via ESA only then it should be set to ‘Internal’.
Made in the UK by ALLEN&HEATH LIMITED MAINS INPUT - An IEC mains power cord with moulded plug suitable for your territory is shipped with the iDR0. Refer to your Allen & Heath agent if the incorrect type has been provided. The iDR0 has an internal universal voltage power unit that accepts world wide mains sources from 100 to 240V.AC 47 to 63Hz.
