Appsys Multiverter MVR-64 mkII 64 x 64 Channel Digital Multi-Format Converter

Appsys Multiverter MVR-64 mkII 64 x 64 Channel Digital Multi-Format Converter

For all your digital audio needs: This unique piece of hardware is able to convert between man different digital audio interfaces - any to any, all at once. It's fully packed with features like channel-wise-routing, web interface, sample rate conversion, headamp remote control and much more. And cool for MVR-64 (old model) users: All firmware features of the new model will also be back-ported as long as the hardware allows it!
