Soundcraft Si Multi Digital Card User Guide  1013

INTRODUCTION

The Soundcraft® Multi Digital card offers digital audio connection between an Si Series 
console* and Apple® Mac® enabled with Firewire (1394), or PC enabled with a USB or 
Firewire port. Audio capability across the Firewire or USB link is 32 channels in and 32 
channels out at 48KHz. In addition to the Firewire/USB ports, the Multi Digital card provides 
8 further channels of ADAT in and out at 48KHz. 
Connection and setup of the card to a PC is made simple with the use of the Soundcraft 
digital audio driver and associated control panel. Firewire connection to a Mac requires 
no software or drivers.
The additional ADAT channels in and out expand the connectivity further for functions such 
as expanding the input or output capacity with any ADAT-compatible I/O device. 

NOTE: The Firewire and USB ports may not be used at the same time, these ports 
are ‘either/or’, however the ADAT functionality can be used in conjunction with the 
Firewire or USB.

* Not Si1, 2, 3 or ‘plus’ variants

Apple and Mac are trademarks of Apple Corp Inc.

NOTE: The packaging, in which your card arrived, forms part of the product and must 
be retained for future use.
