R1 Analogue and Digital Audio Router
R1 Models and Options
There are 3 basic R1 models, all based on the routing section of our powerful M1 mastering console. As well as comprehensive analogue and digital insert switching, there is also great record and monitor source selection, so you can easily monitor points inside the router and send these to an external monitor controller.
It seamlessly links analogue and digital inserts together with DAC and ADC converters, that can be our excellent Crookwood internal ones, or your preferred external ones.
Each model has a different number of inputs and record inserts. As the number of inputs and inserts grow, some extra features become available and the size of the control panels also increases.
Between these 3 models, we can accommodate the vast majority of your mastering needs.

The R1-3AI is our smallest R1 insert switcher. It is ideal for entry-level stereo mastering or production. It has 3 analogue and 3 digital inserts, plus analogue and digital machine inputs. It can be expanded to a larger R1 at any time, and while it does not supports parallel analogue processing, with the -TP option you can add MS and level processing to the 3 analogue inserts
R1-7AI Stereo Mastering Console
The R1-7AI is our most popular R1 mastering insert switcher. It has enough inserts for most users and also has converter pooling, where you can choose which DA and AD converter to use for transfer (recording) from a pool of converters. It also supports parallel analogue processing and with the -TP option you can add MS and level processing as well.
R1-11AI Stereo Mastering Console
