IRIS Kits¶

IRIS Kit Revisions¶

An IRIS Kit is a collection of hardware delivered in a Pelican case. It includes the receiver, audio interface and the necessary cabling and adapters, but not a source.

There are three official types of IRIS hardware kits:

• Revision 3, released in 2020

• Revision 2, released and discontinued in 2019

• Revision 1, produced from 2014 to 2018

A fully assembled and tested Revision 3 system may be purchased directly, or you can buy the individual components yourself.

Additional Equipment¶

In addition to one of the IRIS kits above, you must provide the following equipment:

• Laptop computer (requirements)
• Microphone stand
• Source loudspeaker, power amplifier and necessary cabling (details here)
• AC power extension leads
• Headphones for monitoring microphone signals
• Paper and pen
• Tape measure
• Electrical insulation tape (can be useful for attaching things to the mic stand, or marking source and receiver positions)
• Hearing protection
