6 DR66 & DR128 Installer User Guide
Welcome to the DR Series
DR66 6 In 6 Out Digital Audio Mix Processor
DR128 12 In 8 Out Digital Audio Mix Processor
The DR66 and DR128 are part of the Allen & Heath Contractor Series designed for installed sound
such as public announcement, conference and background music systems in hotels, restaurants,
government buildings, sports and leisure facilities and so on. They offer the same audio
architecture, programmability and processing capability, use the same operating system, but differ
in size and the number of inputs and outputs available. The powerful and expandable internal DSP
(digital signal processor) enables sophisticated installation setups requiring full matrix mixing,
zoning, signal processing and network control in a compact 1 or 2U rack space.
Also available for the DR are the DSPx resource expander and the DSPd output delay option
cards. Other products in the Contractor Series include the GR05 and GR1 analog zone mixers
and the GR8A 8-channel amplifier together with its GR8X transformer option for 70/100V
speakers.
WinDR System Manager
The Allen & Heath WinDR System Manager is a Microsoft Windows ® application that runs on a PC
such as laptop, desk or networked system. It is provided with the unit for the installer to configure
the internal routing and signal processing according to the requirements of the installation. Once
configured, the DR runs as a stand-alone system without the need to have the PC connected. The
front panel and remote switches can be assigned by the installer to provide the operator with the
limited control required for day to day operation whilst tamper proofing the system settings.
Note: This user guide refers to DR units loaded with Version 2 or later operating software. If
you are configuring the unit to match a previous installation running version 1.8 software you can
load in the earlier version by downloading it from the Allen & Heath Web site. Loading instructions
and details on the release history of the software are available from the site. Instructions on using
the WinDR application and configuring the DR are available from the Help file within the software.
