D&R Airence USB Broadcast Mixer

Two mixers are sitting next to each other on a white background.
The Airence USB mixing console from D&R offers a flexible small format mixing desk that can be extended to have more faders and a split configuration with the optional Airence Extender module. The Airence USB can be extended further using the D&R Studio Remote to provide guests with the ability to control their own headphone levels or temporarily mute their microphones with the 'cough' button.

The Airence USB main mixer modules is a six fader unit with four triple input channels (mic / line / USB audio) plus two additional Telephone / Line channels. When in Telephone mode the faders use the built in dual TBU's to interface with standard phone lines.

There is also a comprehensive main output section which includes LED VU meters as well as a programmable button section that features 16 'user keys' that work with a range of playout systems.

The optional Airence Extension module expands the desks with an additional six dual input channels (Mic / Line) giving you a potential total of 12 faders with up to 28 sources connected.

The Airence is also compatible with the D&R Studio Remote to allow your guest mic positions to adjust headphone volume and cut mics using the 'cough' button or 'talkback' to the presenter using the 'Com' button.
