System Description
Broadcasting Options
In designing the Airlab, D&R decided to make the system as flexible for the operator as possible. Therefore
the Airlab can be used in many ways.
There's a minimum of jumper settings, which can be set to suit your own needs. Most of the settings are
under software control in the master section and can be stored to a chip card.
The Airlab can be used in a traditional manner with separate control and announcer rooms, or in a more
open way, whereby announcing and engineering control are carried out in one room. A self-op setup or a
combination of several setups is possible.
More than one Broadcast Studio
There are numerous monitor facilities in the Airlab for external sources as well as internal sources. The
control monitors (and meters) can be switched to follow the control room for separate (stereo) sources.
These features mean that the Airlab is specially suited to work in a studio-complex environment, where
there is more than one studio/control room being used for broadcast.
In this situation, the Airlab is capable of being the main On-Air console due to the two main outputs it
contains. These main outputs can be fully transformer balanced as an option.
Special Recording Outputs
The Airlab has a special Tape/Recording output on a 0dBu output level.
Double Stereo VU/Peak Metering
In order to achieve a good balance between spoken words and music, it's important to be able to read the
recording level accurately. The Airlab has a standard 4 VU meters reading per pair the main output and the
CUE output. A PPM version of the VU meter is available as an option.
