D&R Airlab-DT Modular Broadcast Mixer

Product overview

The D&R Airlab-DT Modular Broadcast Mixer is a digitally controlled analogue on-air console designed for professional radio and production studios. Its fully modular frame accepts up to sixteen input modules in any combination, allowing each console to be configured precisely to a station’s requirements while maintaining a simple, direct control surface. With hundreds of systems in daily use, it has become a proven workhorse for both main on-air and production roles.

Key features

• Digitally controlled analogue on-air console with modular architecture
• Frame with up to 16 input module slots for triple input, USB, AES and Telco cards
• Triple input modules combining mic and two stereo line inputs, with EQ options
• Integrated Telco modules with internal hybrid and dedicated mix-minus outputs
• Program and Sub busses plus bi-directional Cue communication buss
• USB I/O and control modules for direct playout and automation integration
• Electronically balanced main outputs with high headroom and low noise
• Resettable digital functions and chip card storage for console configuration data

Connectivity and I/O

The D&R Airlab-DT chassis provides rear-panel connections for all inputs, outputs and remote functions, with the majority of audio I/O on balanced XLRs for robust integration into professional facilities. Module choices include triple mic/line, USB, AES and Telco variants, giving engineers flexibility to handle studio sources, playout PCs, codecs and telephone lines within one surface. Program, Sub and monitor outputs, along with mix-minus and external control connections, make it straightforward to embed the console into wider radio broadcast mixer and routing systems used in complex studios.

In operation

In daily use the D&R Airlab-DT offers operators a familiar, fader-based surface with clear metering and direct access to key functions, while engineers benefit from the reliability of an analogue audio path under digital control. Presets and configuration stored on a chip card help standardise setups and speed recovery after service, and the available playout control and USB modules streamline integration with automation systems. For broadcasters looking to standardise on a modular, field-proven console platform, the Airlab-DT sits naturally alongside other products in the D&R broadcast range as the centrepiece of the studio.
