Beschrijving

With the AIRENCE-USB ON-AIR mixer you can own a modern, split version type of radio production mixer.
A smart mixer with an integrated USB based control section.
Built with well proven low noise circuitry, this console is the reliable workhorse for the self-op production D.J.
Built in Telephone Hybrids (2x), 4 channels USB and 4 Mic inputs.
Ideal for streaming to the web and sending and accepting 4 stereo channels from your Play-out software.
A heavy duty (19″ rack) RF shielded chassis, that can be used as a drop through in your
furniture, houses all the vertically mounted input modules.
Extension units with six triple input channels with high end quality Mic inputs on XLR and
two stereo line level inputs on Cinch (RCA) connectors can be connected to the main unit.
The result is a modern split drop through 12 (or 18/24) fader radio console.

The AIRENCE-USB is designed to be the focal point for local radio production work in the studio or… at home. It’s understandable features makes it the ideal companion for rapid on-the-spot radio programs. The AIRENCE is compact, reliable and 19″ rack mounting ideal for production rooms. It can also double as an On-Air mixer or implemented as your own Internet Radio station. If your budget is tight start with the 6 channel version which is a complete system to begin with.
And it never becomes obsolete as it can be used as pre-production mixer, if, at a later date, you fit in a larger On-Air mixer. And.. if more inputs are needed hook up the AIRENCE-EXT and instantly you have 6 more triple inputs with each giving you a low noise Mic and 2x stereo line inputs under control. The Cue buss is of course linked and can be used as communication buss.
Not enough? Buy another 6 channel unit to expand to 18 or even more input channels.

Every unit is individually powered by a modern digitally switched power supply to create high efficiency in power consumption. Also power supply redundancy is an option because the power supply unit is external.

CONTROL SECTION
On the right side of the mixer you see 24 illuminated (green/red or yellow) switches These switches can be used to control functions in your Radio Automation such as starting jingle machines and switching between live and NON stop. Recording a voice track while ON-AIR is one of the possibilities.
A built in USB controller, specially tailored by D&R and programmable by yourself, to make radio even more exciting.

SOFTWARE
The AIRENCE sends out control signals over USB based on the HID protocol. This means that the main output signals can be displayed on a TFT screen in a beautiful meter application. Both Program and Sub stereo signals are shown on a high resolution PPM. A smaller separate stereo meter shows all signals heard through the CRM speakers. At the same time this software application shows you a professional looking Radio clock that is synchronized by the nearest NTP server over he Internet.

METER APPLICATION
This included software program runs together with the 4 stereo audio signals over the same USB connection that connects the console with the Play-out PC. A second screen maybe connected to get a similar look as seen on the top of this page.

SUMMARY
The AIRENCE is a reliable modern digitally controlled analogue On-Air console that could satisfy any serious Radio Studio that does not have the budget to go high end digital all the way. This console can do nearly anything you want in a nice compact and good looking package.
