D&R Airence‑USB Broadcast Mixer with USB Audio Interface

The D&R Airence-USB broadcast mixer with USB audio interface is a compact 6-fader on-air and production console with four USB stereo channels, mic inputs and flexible radio studio routing.

Product overview

The D&R Airence-USB is a compact split-format broadcast mixer designed for on-air and production use in professional radio studios. It combines a digitally controlled analogue signal path with an integrated multi-channel USB audio interface, giving broadcasters a practical way to handle microphones, line sources, telephone channels and playout audio from a single surface. The modular concept also allows the system to be expanded with extension frames as studio requirements grow.

Connectivity and I/O

The D&R Airence-USB provides balanced mic inputs, stereo line inputs, USB audio, main stereo outputs, record outputs and dedicated monitoring connections for control room and presenter positions. One physical USB connection carries four stereo audio channels to and from the host computer, allowing direct integration with playout, automation and recording software without the need for a separate external interface. In a typical radio plant it sits alongside other radio broadcast mixers and audio interfaces, while the console itself serves as the central routing and control point.

In operation

In daily use the D&R Airence-USB gives presenters and operators a straightforward, self-op friendly surface with direct access to source selection, monitoring and on-air functions. Engineers benefit from the console’s flexible USB integration, modular expansion path and radio-specific logic, making it suitable for community radio, internet radio and professional local studio facilities. For broadcasters building around proven D&R hardware, the Airence-USB fits naturally within the wider D&R broadcast mixer range as a compact console with strong PC integration.
