FCC INFORMATION U.S.A.
1. Introduction
The X-MADI card is a multichannel audio interface expansion
card for the X32 series of digital mixers. It provides 32 channels
of MADI/AES10 input and output via fibre-optic or coaxial cables.
This provides very long cable runs up to 2 km with fiber-optic
connection and allows redundancy when combined with BNC
coaxial connectors.
2. Installation
Caution
– before installing the X-MADI card into the console,
you must make sure that the console’s power switch is turned off.
Malfunctions or electrical shock may occur otherwise.
1. Make sure that the mixer’s power is turned off.
2. Loosen the screws left and right that fasten the slot,
then remove the slot cover or currently-installed card and
keep it in a safe place.
3. Before removing the X-MADI card from its protective bag,
we recommend touching the grounded metal chassis of the
console to prevent electrostatic discharges affecting the
sensitive electronic components. It is generally a good idea
to hold the card either by the face plate or by the two small
handles, but never touching the components on the circuit
board directly.
4. Align both edges of the card with the guide rails inside the
slot and carefully insert the card into the slot. Push the card
all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts of the
card are correctly inserted into the connector inside.
5. Fasten the card using the included screws. Be aware that
damage or malfunctions may occur if the card is
not fastened.
Requirements
X32 Series console with firmware version 2.0 or higher.
