24. Examples
24.1 2/4-Channel AD/DA-Converter
TotalMix' super-flexible routing functions make it easy to turn the MADIface XT into a 2 input
and 4 output channel AD/DA converter. It’s easy to build the setup. For a clean start perform a
Total Reset
from the Options menu. Then select the AES output in the third row, and pull up the
faders of the Analog input 1/2 in the first row. Now do the same for the analog outputs, route the
AES input to these. A monitoring of all or selected I/Os can be easily set up for the AES output,
or as analog mixdown on one of the phones outputs.
24.2 2-Channel Mic Preamp
Use TotalMix to route the two microphone inputs directly to the analog outputs. This turns the
MADIface XT into a 2-channel microphone preamp. The AD- and DA-conversion will cause a
small delay of the signals of around 0.17 ms (at 192 kHz, see chapter 30.3). But this is nothing
to worry about, as it is the same delay that would be caused by changing the microphone's po-
sition by about 5.6 centimeter (2 inches).
24.3 194-channel Monitor Mixer
TotalMix allows ANY configuration of all I/Os of the MADIface. For example, set up the device
as monitor mixer for 2 analog signals, 194 digital via AES and 3 x MADI or any number in-
between. Additionally, TotalMix lets you set up ANY submixes, so all existing outputs can be
used for different and independent monitorings of the input signals. The perfect monitor-
ing/surveillance solution for multiple MADI streams!
24.4 Analog and Digital Inserter
As TotalMix allows for any routing of the input signals, the MADIface XT can be used to insert
AES or analog into any place of the three MADI streams. Those can be passed through, so the
signal is either unchanged (refreshed), newly mixed/routed/levelled, or parts are replaced.
24.5 3-port MADI Router with Monitoring
The Matrix in TotalMix enables you to route and link all inputs and outputs completely freely. All
the above functionalities are even available simultaneously, can be mixed and combined in
many ways. Simply said: the MADIface XT is a perfect digital routing matrix!
