MADI System Setups
MADI is the perfect solution for the transmission of multiple audio channels. The technical problems of the standard multicore cables are well-known: cable loss, stray pick-up, aging, high weight, cumbersome handling etc.
MADI is different: A thin cable transmits up to 64 audio channels, lossless, over a distance of up to 2000 meters!
There are only a few solutions that will transmit audio signals over long distances with little effort. Using MADI offers the unique option to transfer up to 64 channels via a single optical cable (alternatively coaxial cable). In addition to audio, MADI also offers MIDI and RS232 transmission. Important connections can be routed in a redundant way. RME MADI and AES/EBU products offer solutions for all possible setups.

MADI Network Studio The different rooms were MADI connected with the CMR (Central Machine Room). The room routing is remote controllable from the DAW Workstation - every point can provide and process every signal. Absolute flexibility is guaranteed. (Click image to enlarge) |
Network on Stage

Network on Stage Example: Huge live event with a simultanious record and broadcast/TV transmission. Safety and flexibilty are exrtemly important. All central connections are redundant. The SAT mobile can transmit a pre-mixed signal (stereo/surround) from the recording mobile or access all single signals. (Click image to enlarge) |
