Allen & Heath IDR-8

Programmable Installed Signal Processing

It looks innocent enough, but A&H's iDR-8 has got enough grunt (DSP) under the hood to process 16 input and 16 output channels. Standard fitting is 8 XLR analogue mic/line inputs and 8 XLR analogue line outputs, and that's expandable. Dial in whatever tool you need (eq, delay, limiting, matrix) and then take the face-panel off to lock it down. Easy venue/user interface via PL-series controllers.
