MI715/MO705
The
MI715
and
MO705
converters
provide
MADI
conversion
to
interface
to/from
analog
and
AES
equipment
such
as
consoles,
tape
decks,
microphone
preamplifiers
and
other
devices.
Both
converters
are
two
rack
spaces
high
and
are
housed
in
a
stain
‐
less
steel
chassis
with
machined,
heavy
aluminum
front
panels.
The
MI715
converts
incoming
analog
signals
to
24
‐
bit
MADI
digital
signals
that
capture
the
input’s
complete
dynamic
range.
Each
main
AES/EBU
input
is
automatically
evaluat
‐
ed
for
sample
‐
rate
conversion.
The
incoming
sample
rate
is
compared
with
the
internal
rate.
If
they
are
the
same,
no
conversion
occurs.
If
the
rates
differ,
sample
‐
rate
con
‐
version
is
activated
and
persists
until
a
new
input
is
applied
or
the
internal
sample
rate
changes.
The
sample
‐
rate
conversion
range
is
32–56
kHz.In
addition
to
the
8
XLR
con
‐
nectors
for
analog
inputs
and
8
XLR
connectors/2
D
‐
Sub
connectors
for
AES
inputs.
The
MO705
converts
incoming
MADI
signals
to
8
analog
channels
and
8
AES
stereo
pairs.
The 16 digital outputs (8 pair) can be bit-depth converted from 24 to 20 or 16 bits.
