We have to increase our prices in June 2023
08-05-2023
At D&R we continuously work on improving our products and services, but to be able to maintain the quality and service levels for the future, some changes have to made in the retail prices of some of our products.
Our costs have increased significantly over the past few month's. The most important changes are caused by extremely high chip costs (sometimes 20 fold and more) and metal.
The good thing is that for most of our products we can keep the prices the same.
Unfortunately some popular products really suffer from the chip shortages, such as the Webstation and Airlite consoles.
Also the GSM Hybrid has very expensive chips inside. For any questions or comments, you can contact us at any time.
Possible longer delivery times
21-04-2023
Due to the increasingly difficult to obtain components that we use in our products and the fact that it is harder within these days to find the right people who can help us inside our production progress, it is possible that the delivery time of some of our mixers has unfortunately increased to 6-8 weeks.
Of course we try to deliver to all our dealers as quickly as possible, but at the moment we cannot guarantee the delivery times given by our dealers. As a future user of one of our products, we therefore ask for your patience.
2023 will be a nice year for new products
27-03-2023
We are already a few weeks into 2023, a year in which we as D&R will make some nice steps. For example, we have been developing a new broadcast platform for some time now that will be very surprising in several respects.
Not only in functions and options, but also in appearance.
A second project that we are currently working on is still in its infancy, but will also be a nice addition to a market that we as D&R have not yet focused on very much.
Following on our latest product; the CamCon Visual Radio Trigger unit, that has been received with great enthusiasm on the market, these new products will be a nice addition to the wide range that we can currently offer to our customers.
Keep an eye on our socials and website this coming year, where we will inform you more and more about these beautiful steps.
The last months of 2022
17-11-2022
Just a few weeks and then we will wave the year 2022 goodbye, ready for a brand new and hopefully great and healthy new year. The last two months of the year are always busy days inside our production process.
Everyone would like to have their product(s) at home before the holidays, but this will not always be possible, partly due to the longer delivery dates that are still on some of our products due the COVID situation past couple of years.
In any case, we are doing everything we can to serve as many dealers/people as possible in these last days of 2022.
We thank everyone in advance for their patience. Team D&R
Now also BlueTooth on your Airence USB
25-10-2022
In addition to the Airmate, we have now also created a BlueTooth module for our Airence Main mixer.
This extends the options that you have for the Airence, just like the Airmate.
In addition to the digital AES output and the VoIP module option, you can now also choose to place a BlueTooth module in channel 5 and/or 6.
This can be done afterwards, but of course also before the purchase.
Just let one of our dealers know your option choice and we will ensure that it is delivered to you with BlueTooth module(s) from the factory.
New look on the Radiowebshop.com site
27-09-2022
It is always easy to order (spare)parts for our devices that you need for repair or use at any time that suits you.
That's why we created our webshop many years ago to let you find all these parts on one place.
It was already very easy to find and pay for parts, so we can send them to you as soon as possible with our carrier, only it can always be a little bit easier.
That is why we have made some adjustments to the layout of our webshop, so that you can now find and order the necessary parts even more easily.
Take a look by clicking on the "Webshop" button on the header of our website and keep our webshop in mind for the future, so that you can resume broadcasting as soon as possible.
BlueTooth on your Airence USB can be created soon
06-09-2022
One of our most selling broadcast mixer, the Airmate USB 8 or 12 faders, is already our analog mixer with the most extra option
for you as end-user. So can we provide you for this mixer an AES-digital output, VoIP channel(s) in stead of normal Hybrid cards
and the RIAA pre-amp option to connect your record player to the mixer.
The newest option within this line is that you can choose also for a BlueTooth channel(s) within the Airmate.
On this moment we are busy with the last procedures to also give you an option to include this BlueTooth module inside an Airence Main unit.
As soon as this option will be available for the Airence Main console, we will inform you of course within this information page.
Introducing the Camcon Visual Radio unit
19-08-2022
Camcon Visual Radio is the newest product within our range of studio products.
Now it's possible to create Visual Radio during your live broadcast with the help of the CamCon trigger unit and its software.
The combination of the Camcon, its application software, VRC software and OBS is all you need.
The 4 channel Camcon trigger unit can be connected (hardwired) in series with up to 4 microphones to control our VRC software that can switch scenes in OBS (freeware).
In this way Visual Radio can be streamed over the Internet together with your audio. The perfect way to make your station visble to the listener.
Airence Main control section replaced
21-06-2022
More and more we heard end-users from in the field that they found the position of the control section in our Airence Main unit difficult to use on the right side of the mixer, especially when used in combination with the Airence Extender.
That is why we have now chosen to place the control section on the left side of the front.

We have to increase our prices
21-04-2022
The past past few months have been pretty shocking for everyone, not al least the war in UKRAINE, a very ugly and painfull event in history in our opinion, but also the huge price increases of fuel and gas, as well as shipping costs went through the roof.
D&R has worked very hard to keep the supply of our products going when faced with a quickly changing supply situation - and despite the huge delivery times of chips and sky high prices we still can supply our products to you.
But we need more time due to high demand for our products and slow supply of expensive parts to us.
Can you imagine that every shipment to us in the past few months is more costly than the one before.
Can you believe a chip costing normally € 6,-- we now have to pay € 65,-- each or even more !!
We cannot absorb these rediculous price increases, and we unfortunately have to adjust our prices too.
Also the higher costs of our metal housings forces us to raise our prices.
Shipping costs have dramatically increased and if you have been following recent events, this will not come as a surprise, but it is now unavoidable to adjust our prices.
You will find our new prices on our pricelists on the header of our website under "Miscellanious".

Change in our Airence split unit mixer
20-01-2022
Time does not stand still, and so do the developments in technical components.
This can sometimes have an effect on our products.
For example, we now had to make the choice on our Airence split unit to switch to a different type of power supply.
Due to this choice, all Airence Main units, but also the Airence Extender units that we produce from 2022, will be equipped with a different power supply board and adapter.
In practice that means that a combination between an Airence Main or Extender unit, purchased BEFORE 2022, can no longer function together with the Airence Main or Extender units that we will put into production from 2022.
If you, as an end user, have an Airence Main unit that has been purchased before 2022 and want to expand this unit with a new Airence Extender unit, then the Airence Main unit must be fitted with a new power supply board and adapter.
This also applies if you want to connect a new Airence Main unit to an earlier than 2022 purchased Airence Extender unit.
For questions you can of course always contact our dealers or us via the "contact" button at the top of our website.
All the best for 2022
03-01-2022
The entire D&R team wishes all users of our products, our loyal sales partners and our suppliers all the best for the new year 2022. We hope that everyone will experience beautiful positive surprising moments within this year.
Stay save and broadcast the sound.
New prices within 2022
17-12-2021
The past year has been one of many challenges - for everyone.
D&R has worked very hard to keep the supply of products going when faced with a quickly changing supply situation and despite the huge delivery times of chips and sky high prices we still can supply our products to you.
But we need more time due to high demand for our products and slow supply of parts to us.
To stay in business the next 50 years :-) we unfortunately have to adjust our prices.
A really dramatic price increase of chips and even the higher costs of our metal housings forces us to raise our prices. Shipping costs have dramatically increased and if you have been following recent events, this will not come as a surprise, but it is now unavoidable to adjust our prices, we can no longer absorp them in 2022
Most of our products have changed relatively little, mostly +5 to + 8% increase overall.
The new prices you can find in the header of our homepage under the button "Miscellenious".
Take care form all of us here.
The last months of 2021
10-11-2021
Just a little while and then we will also say goodbye to the year 2021. The last two months of the year are always busy days in our production process. Everyone would like to have their product(s) at home before the holidays, but this will not always be feasible, partly due to the current COVID-19 situation.
In any case, we are doing everything we can to serve as many dealers/people as possible in these last days of 2021.
We thank everyone in advance for their patience.
No paper manuals anymore at our analog mixers
17-09-2021
As a company, we also want to be able to do more and more for a cleaner environment and save on things that are actually unnecessary in these days..
That is why we have decided to stop adding paper user manuals to our analog mixers.
We will continue to add the quick start manual, but this will contain an extra short explanation where you can download your user manual yourself in a very easy and clear way on our website.
In addition to the manual, you can find more useful links per product on this page, so if you want to take a look at it already, you are more than welcome to visit the "user manual" page by the link at the bottom of our home page, or by the "support" button at the top of the home page.

End of Life for our Lyra IP system
10-06-2021
After many years, our digital Lyra system has officially come to an end. Of course we will have service parts available in the coming years to provide the current systems in the market in a good way. Thanks to everyone who has put their trust in our Lyra system over the years.
Longer delivery times due COVID-19
20-04-2021
Due to the COVID measures and the lockdown period in various countries, there has been a large increase in the number of orders for our products. Partly due to the increasingly difficult to obtain components that we use in our products, the delivery time of our mixers has unfortunately increased to 6-8 weeks. Of course we try to deliver to all our dealers as quickly as possible, but at the moment we cannot guarantee the delivery times given by our dealers. As a future user of one of our products, we therefore ask for your patience.
