Allen & Heath M-SQ-MADI-A SQ MADI 64x64 Audio Networking Card for SQ, AHM

Broadcast trucks, recording rigs and third-party consoles speak MADI, and the SQ MADI card lets an SQ mixer or AHM matrix processor join the conversation. Fitted to the I/O port, the M-SQ-MADI-A provides a 64x64 channel AES10 MADI interface running at either 48kHz or 96kHz over 75 ohm coaxial BNC connections.

Two BNC inputs pair with two BNC outputs for split or redundant setups. Link 1 carries inputs and outputs 1-64 at 48kHz, or 1-32 at 96kHz; Link 2 can be set as a redundant connection for Link 1 or as a second MADI port, providing channels 33-64 at 96kHz. A dual-function BNC word clock connector, configurable as input or output, lets the console synchronise with other equipment, and coaxial runs of up to 150 m are supported.

Typical uses include a broadcast split from a FOH/monitor system to an OB van, connection to third-party MADI consoles with a master clock, and multitrack recording or playback through a MADI interface. The card slides into the mixer's I/O port and is secured with two screws; SQ Firmware V1.5.2 or later is required.
