D&R USB codec channel configuration for Airlab

TRIPLE ANALOG or DIGITAL or USB INPUT MODULE.

As the name suggests, the AIRLAB DT triple input module combines a Mic input with two stereo line inputs. These could be analog inputs or AES 3 or USB inputs.

The mic input is electronically balanced with the industry standard THAT 1510 low noise mic pre-amp.

A 48 volt phantom power switch is provided for. Apart from the gain control we have built in a front panel accessible trimmer to determine the mic gain range.

A low cut filter can be activated by a jumper on the PCB. The mic input is located at the back of the console on female XLR connectors.

The unbalanced stereo line B input, accessible on Cinch connectors, can be fitted with an RIAA plug-in PCB to accept phono players.

The Line A input is balanced and on XLR’s.

The fixed, to +/- 12dB limited three band equalizer is followed by a SUB and PROGRAM assign switch that routes signals to both outputs allowing production work to be carried out during broadcast.

The stereo Aux. control can be selected pre or post VCA/MUTE, depending on jumpers.

The stereo Aux. send is followed by a Pan control, a Cue/select switch and the channel On switch disabling Cue, although it can be reactivated while the channel is on.

It is also possible to activate Cue via the channel remote connector.

Cue becomes a Cough facility when the Mic input and the "On-AIR" status is selected.

The AIRLAB DT is equipped with linear 100mm faders controlling high quality "THAT" VCA's, another high end industry standard.

Start can be activated with the fader or ON switch, depending which is activated first.

Start can be software configured so that switching is from line A or line B. Similarly, the Cue switch is under software control avoiding impossible settings.

TRIPLE INPUT MODULE NO EQ.

This module is equivalent to the standard module with EQ, but lacks the EQ controls. Mostly advised for ON-AIR applications.

NOT AVAILABLE ANY MORE, SORRY

TELCO MODULE.

The AIRLAB DT has the possibility to be loaded with up to 16 Telco modules.

Due to an ingenious Mix-Minus system alignment is only necessary during installation.

The AIRLAB DT Telco module is a straight forward design making communication very easy.

The first control is the front panel accessible, trimmer for side tone adjustment, only necessary during installation.

The Telco Send knob controls the outgoing signal to the caller. This signal is derived from the PROGRAM or SUB bus.

The line input can be switched to a balanced XLR input connector to accept an external (digital) hybrid instead of its own internal hybrid.

A separate input gain control with HP and LP filters be used to enhance intelligibility.

The SUB and PROGRAM assign switch routes the signal to both outputs if needed.

The stereo Aux. control has jumpers that select its source to be pre or post VCA/MUTE.

A Pan-pot and CUE/Select switch plus the ON switch completes the Telco module.

A 100mm linear fader controls a high quality THAT VCA, eliminating any fader wear out in the future.

Connecting a Caller can be accomplished with the ON switch when the fader is up or with the CUE/SELECT/RING switch when the fader is down.

When CUE is active in the TELCO module, the caller is connected to the CUE bus and also the engineers talk-back, but does not go ON-AIR yet as the fader is down.

It is possible to connect both the Cue and On switch to a remote unit, allowing a director to control the broadcast.

A "Connect" LED positioned below the High Cut switch indicates that the internal Hybrid is active.

VOIP

If you would like to call with VOIP we would advice to use the CISCO SPA112 as an interface in between the Airlab Telco module Hybrid circuits and the PC.

GSM solution

If you want to connect the

AIRLAB TELCO Module

to the GSM network just

buy from a third party this

Musitel unit and connect it

to the XLR Phone socket

and you're set.

EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL

The master module is divided in three sections.

The first "module" houses the TAPE SEND which selects the feed to the tape output.

This could be either the SUB output signal or the AUX. output signal.

The stereo Aux. master controls the outgoing Aux. signals from the input modules. A Talk-back to AUX. switch is provided for.

The lower part of this "module" houses the Control Room Monitor section that can be fed by an EXT(ernal) stereo input, the stereo Aux output, a stereo On-Air signal or the stereo SUB output signal.

All selections have LED indicators and the lowest positioned switch has priority over the input selectors positioned directly above.

The CUE balance pot adjusts the balance between the PROGRAM output or another selected input source and the CUE signal (when selected).

A cue LED indicates when a CUE signal is on the CRM or Phones.

Separate Phones and CRM controls, with a DJ mic on mute indicator on the CRM, complete this "module".

There is a Timer function built in the AIRLAB DT for time related measurements such as duration of an incoming/outgoing call.

Timer set-up can be software controlled and stored.

The AIRLAB DT is D&R’s latest addition to a growing series of broadcast consoles. Its high quality clean audio path with a minimum of hardware switches in the audiopath is your guarantee that this is a reliable radio console for daily broadcasts around the hour for many years to come.
