D&R Dayner Series

Recording Console

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The D&R DAYNER Series console is extremely compact, user

friendly, and incorporates innovative ideas to simplify

multitrack recording. Utilizing five different frames, (21,

31, 42, 59, and 84), five types of modules to choose from,

and a comprehensive master module (which will mount

anywhere in the chassis), you can customize the Dayner

Series to fit your system needs. One of the more popular

features of this series is the "Floating Subgroup System"

which allows you to create subgroups where you need them

as opposed to a fixed location. This feature also allows the

user to have as many (summed) outputs as desired, which

are limited only by the amount of input modules in a given

frame. With three main types of input modules available,

features such as: "fader reverse" and "split Eq" (on the

In-line modules only) and the Split module (which can be

used as a regular mic/line module or a subgroup module) are

just some of the new innovative ideas that D&R uses to

approach the conflicting needs an engineer faces during the

recording or mixing session.

The basic idea behind the DAYNER is to have an input for

every signal source, be it a microphone, a line level

signal, tape input/output or effect return. Although the

DAYNER can be used . for sound reinforcement or broadcast,

this manual will deal mainly with using the DAYNER in

multitrack recording applications. However, we will make

remarks throughout this manual where sound reinforcement and

broadcast applications apply. The DAYNER has many features

that make "live" or broadcast mixing worry free. To become

familiar with all the facilities of the DAYNER, we advise

you to read this manual very carefully and thoroughly. It

will provide you with important information about the

installation, operation, and servicing of your DAYNER.

Thank you for selecting the D&R DAYNER SERIES. The Dayner is

the result of a console designed on the cutting edge of

technology.
