R3 Models and Options

R3 Models and Options

altThere are 4 basic R3 models, to cover all of your mastering insert switcher needs.

Each model has identical routing facilities, but a different number of inputs and inserts. As the number of inputs and inserts grow, the size of the control panels also increases. There are also a set of other options that can be added to any R3 to increase it's capabilities.

Between these 4 models and the variations, we can accommodate the vast majority of your insert switching needs.

 

 

The four models are:

 

  • R3-3AI (R3 with 3 analogue inserts)
  • R3-7AI (R3 with 7 analogue inserts)
  • R3-11AI (R3 with 11 analogue inserts)
  • R3-15AI (R3 with 15 analogue inserts)

This table shows you the difference between the 4 basic models:
