Wide picture of my studio setup, corner desk, with D&R airlab broadcast mixer built in on the right side, the Pioneer DDJ-T1 on the left side, 5 monitors and small studio monitor speakers.

 In November 2018 i replaced the Behringer DX2000USB and installed a D&R Airlab DT Broadcast mixer, it needed some cutting in my desk, but it was well worth it.. :)

The AIRLAB-DT radio ON-AIR console is an extremely reliable solution for applications where features and functions has to be weighed up against operational simplicity. It's analog, digitally controlled signal path is the best solution of both worlds to achieve a reliable workhorse under any condition.
With over 900 units in the field, the Airlab-DT has proven to be a successful centerpiece in many ON-Air studios.
A simple direct accessible control surface combined with intelligent instantly reset able digital functions enables customizing to station requirements and even to personal requirements because of the use of a personalized chip card holding all important functional data.

 

 

Purchasing choices are straightforward: the welded steel frame will accommodate a maximum of 16 triple input modules, which could include an unlimited number of Telco (or VoIP) modules (up to 16 of course) plus the master section with script space. There is a control module available to control Play-out systems over USB and this module takes 2 positions. The main outputs are electronically balanced and the majority of connectors are on balanced XLRs.
