Product description The Madison MADI Interface from SPL is a 16-input/16-output MADI interface. It offers SPL analog sound for every MADI-equipped digital console, router, and PC MADI card.
With 16 input and 16 output channels in a single rack space, the Madison combines signal conversion with reliable clock and MADI processing. And as a true SPL unit it is designed to be simple to operate, easy to expand and, of course, a very good sounding conversion system.
Thanks to its I/O equipment, the Madison makes it simpler to integrate professional analog gear into larger multi-channel infrastructures. With four popular reference levels, operational sample rates between 44.1 and 192 kHz, multicore analog I/O, fibre MADI I/O and word clock I/O, the Madison simply fits just about everywhere.
Up to four units can be connected to a single MADI port on a digital console, a MADI PC card, or any professional audio-routing infrastructure. The MADI port offers near-zero-latency digital transmission of up to 64 I/Os with galvanic insulation. And since MADI is the emerging new studio I/O standard, the Madison is a suitable interface for home and project studios, commercial recording studios, and scoring stages. - MADI
- Broadcast and live professionals have relied on the still-unsurpassed MADI for about 20 years now - with jitter-free, rock-solid transmission of many audio channels per single wire, and low-cost cabling with lengths far above one mile, MADI simply offers unique advantages.
- Madison
- As SPL focuses on analog, and competent converter technology requires an appropriate analog background, that is where a true difference can be made. The company has designed an analog audio section on 36V audio rails, reaching output levels of 24 dBu. With its straight-forward operation and flexible expansion, the Madison is an ideal interface for anyone interested in the advantages of the MADI format.
- 16 AD and 16 DA converters in just 1 rack unit of space
- Converters with an analog section on 36V audio rails
- + 24 dBu professional output level
- Up to 64 I/Os on 1 MADI port (with 4 units, optional)
- Latency-neutral MADI chaining
- 44.1 to 192 kHz, ±10% vari-speed
- SPL clock-shop for jitter-free operation
- Ultra-compatible, always operational MADI I/O with low conversion latencies
- Four directly selectable reference levels: 15/18/22/24 dBu
- Simple front-panel control operation
- Distance-readable meters for clear level-status indication of any I/O channel
- Fanless, absolutely silent low-power design (max. 30 W)
- Redundant power supply optionally
- Four analog, 8-channel multicore DB25 sockets (TASCAM industry standard)
