Allen & Heath iDR-48 — buyer FAQs
What is the Allen & Heath iDR-48 and what is it used for?
The Allen & Heath iDR-48 is a Fixed Format MixRack built as the processing core of the iLive control system. It provides 48 input channels and 24 outputs, making it suited to live events, broadcasting and permanent installations where complex audio configurations are required. Its integration with the iLive control surface allows professional engineers to manage demanding setups efficiently.
Who makes the iDR-48 and where does it sit in the Allen & Heath range?
Allen & Heath is a British audio manufacturer founded in 1969 and part of the Audiotonix group. The iDR-48 sits within the company's iLive series, a professional digital system aimed at live sound, broadcast and installation markets. Within that range the iDR-48 represents a fixed-format approach, pairing with iLive control surfaces rather than functioning as a standalone desk.
What control surface is the iDR-48 typically paired with?
The iDR-48 is designed to work as part of the iLive system and is commonly paired with iLive control surfaces. One configuration pairs it with a T112 iLive surface, combining the MixRack's 48-input processing with the surface's control capabilities for live and touring use.
Can the iDR-48 be expanded with additional connectivity cards?
Yes. Some iDR-48 units are fitted with an M-Dante Card providing 64x64 connectivity, which expands the rack's routing options beyond its standard inputs and outputs. When buying used, it is worth confirming whether the specific unit includes this card, as not all configurations will carry it.
What should I check when buying a used iDR-48?
Verify the firmware version installed, as units can vary. Confirm whether an M-Dante Card or other expansion cards are included, and check that all 48 input channels and 24 outputs are fully functional. Ask about any maintenance history. Used iDR-48 pricing varies with condition, firmware, included cards and whether a flight case is part of the package. Listings on this page include a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at https://www.10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
