PULSE16 DX I/Os – MADI
MADI is a professional audio interface format which can transfer 64
channels over up to 2 kilometers in multi-mode. Connect several MADI
devices in series by putting them in a daisy chain. This means that you
connect the output of the first device to the input of the second
device. The output of the second device will be connected to the input
of the third device and so on. So, you can daisy-chain up to four units
to transmit 64 analog inputs and 64 outputs at 48kHz. The PULSE16 DX
features an optical MADI-SFP connector. To connect other MADI
devices, you can use a LC – SC cable (included).
When using sample rates higher than 48kHz the maximum number of
transferrable channels is reduced. The following chart shows the
amount of digital audio channels for a single MADI port:
The original MADI standard utilized a maximum channel count of 56
channels for a single MADI connection. These 56 digital channels allow
a sample rate variation of +/- 10%. These numbers are shown in
brackets in the chart. Today, using 64 channels is preferred, since rate
variations are not often used anymore. Your PULSE16 DX automatically
detects if 64 or 56 channels are received. Use the SETUP menu to
switch, if either 64 or 56 channels should be sent.
32kHz, 44,1kHz, 48kHz (SMUX/1)
64kHz, 88,2kHz, 96kHz (SMUX/2)
128kHz, 176,4kHz, 192kHz (SMUX/4)
