CHAPTER 1: Overview
Introduction
Welcome to KYRA, DirectOut’s monitoring device for signal control
in MADI environments.
KYRA provides three MADI inputs and outputs, an analog stereo
line out and an AES I/O. Up to four stereo or eight mono channels
can be summed with individual levels onto a main mix. The main
mix is output by the integrated speakers and the other outputs.
Feature Summary
MADI Ports 1 x SC multi-mode connectors
1 x SFP (empty cage without module)
1 x coaxial BNC connectors with PFT
technology (power fail through)
MADI Formats 56/64 channel, 48k/96k Frame
Sample Rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz +/-12.5%
AES Port 1 x AES3 I/O (DSUB-9)
Line Output 1 x stereo, balanced, +24 dBu (DSUB-9)
Speaker 2 x speakers
Headphone Output 6.3 mm TRS jack, stereo, +18 dBu
USB Port USB 2.0 port for firmware
updates and remote control.
Power Supply This device is equipped with one wide
range power supply (84 V to 264 V AC
/ 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety class 1).
How it works
A channel pair or two single mono channels are selected via the
source panel. Each of the four source panels can be confi gured to
either stereo or mono.
The mono channels for left and right are summed with individual
levels (mix level) onto the main mix (stereo).
The volume (master volume) of the four outputs (speakers, line
out, phones, AES out) is adjusted (or muted) individually.
The channel selection can be locked against unwanted modifi cation.
