![]() If you stick with coax, it can be done, but be prepared to get a little creative. If you’re using multiple racks, going optical makes it easy. All you channels are right there just like you recorded them. Press the button “Listen to Copied Audio” and the console digitally swaps MADI 1 input for MADI 2. Connect an RME MADIFace to MADI 2 and you’re recording the inputs right after the A/D conversion. By using the function “Copy MADI 1 to MADI 2” all the inputs from MADI 1 are copied to the output of MADI 2. Virtual Soundcheck is a big deal today, and it’s easy with Digico at least if you’re using one rack. There aren’t many churches that need more than that… You can access up to 448 inputs and outputs, from up to 14 SD Racks plus 56 console-to-console tie lines. With the SD5, the optical link is very cool. If you’re looking at doing a setup with FOH, monitors and broadcast consoles, the optical interface will be your best friend. Those output cards can be analog, digital, Aviom, or ADAT. So the FOH console could use output cards 1-3 while monitors uses 5-7. However, you can also split the outputs on a per-card basis. With the optics package installed any console on the loop can access any of the inputs, just like with coax. ![]() The master owns the outputs of the rack the slave desk can’t access any of them. This works great for sharing inputs, but if you need to share the outputs, you’re out of luck. Gain tracking makes it easy to manage levels (one console is the master, the other one tracks). With MADI, it’s easy to share a input/output rack simply connect one console to the main interface, and a second to the aux interface. The optics package is a bit expensive, but gives you some mad options if you have multiple consoles in your installation. The SD5 has three MADI interfaces, also dual/redundant.Īny of the consoles can also be configured with optical interfaces (standard on the SD5). The SD8 and SD10 have two MADI interfaces, and each interface has dual/redundant ports. The most common way to interface is with simple coax cable (SDI cable works great) using the BNC connectors. Thankfully, options abound.Īll the Digico consoles run on MADI. All are great-sounding, powerful desks, and which you choose will depend on your needs. Today we’ll wrap up our series on the three mid-sized consoles from Digico.
