Euphonix Max Air Mixing Console Operation Manual Introduction

1.2 Overview of the System Components
1.2.1 DF64 Digital Audio Frame
The DF64 Digital Frame performs all Max Air audio processing: dynamics and EQ;
Main, Record, Aux, and Monitor busses. Max Air can employ two Mixer Models that
utilize one DF64 (one with and one without an SH612 Studio Hub), both of which have
the following characteristics: 96 channels, 24 groups/clean feeds, 16 Aux busses, 24
Main busses and 24 external inputs).
1.2.2 Analog and Digital I/O
The engineer has complete freedom to decide how to route sources and destinations to
the console from the Touchscreen Patch View, which easily handles 224 digital and an-
alog sources. Max Air can be expanded to accommodate 672 sources, suitable for large
commercial installations.
Digital and analog I/O units connect all of the devices in the studio via MADI. All audio
signals are converted to and from the MADI format through analog and digital convert-
ers. The basic Max Air system includes four MADI Inputs and three Outputs to connect
I/O devices. Additional MADI ports can be added by expanding the system with an
SH612 Studio Hub MADI Router. Each 75-Ω coaxial MADI cable can carry up to 56
channels of 24-bit digital audio at 44.1 or 48 kHz. These MADI inputs and outputs ap-
pear at the console’s internal router/patchbay. See Console I/O on page 55 for more in-
formation.
Microphone Inputs
Microphone inputs are handled by the ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces. Each unit contains
24 remote-controlled microphone preamps. Each ML530 is connected to a dedicated
AM713 Analog to MADI Converter. A system can include up to seven ML530s.
