Soundcraft MADI-USB Card User Guide 0914
FINDING THE CORRECT CABLE
The USB port on the MADI-USB combo card
is the ‘B type’ connector (the standard type
for peripheral devices). USB host devices
use the rectangular ‘A type’ connector. As
such, a ‘Type A to type B’ USB cable is
required.
NOTE: USB cables come in many forms.
Please ensure you use the correct cables
for your system for optimal performance.
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATIONS
Dip switches on the card provide extra flexibility depending on the application. The card is
sent out of the factory in a standard configuration that allows for 32 channels of Stagebox
connectivity and 32 channels of USB recording located on channels 1-32 and 33-64
respectively.
If an application requires a different setup than standard then there are a few more
options. There is a ledger on the PCB that displays the options that are achievable. This
can be seen below:
The standard configuration
Switch 1
alters the syncing interaction between the
MADI-USB Combo card and the mixer.
As standard
,
the card should be set to sync to the mixer and so,
switch 1 should be set
OFF
.
To connect two consoles together using two
MADI-USB Combo cards, for a master/slave type
operation, the card within the master console should
be set to sync to the Mixer (switch 1 OFF), and the
slave console/card set to sync to the Card (Switch
1 ON). The consoles will then need to be set to
INTernal and OPTion clocking respectively.
Switch 2
determines what channel the USB is sent
out from on the USB portion of the option card. USB
OUT corresponds to output paths on the console
that are patched to USB. This switch should be set to correspond with the input range of
the USB.
As standard
, this switch should be set to
ON
(33-64).
USB Type A to B
SW1,4 and SW1,3 is short for switches 3
and 4 respectively on the first dipswitch on
the option card.
This is the standard configuration which
allows for 32 channels of Stagebox
connectivity and 32 channels of
simultaneous USB recording.
