Digico UB-MADI
The ground breaking UB MADI from DiGiCo Solutions allows any computer - desktop or laptop - to instantly connect to MADI via the most standard connector of all, USB 2.0, letting you playback and record up to 48 tracks over MADI simultaneously
USB is everywhere. In fact, it's impossible to find a modern computer without USB 2.0, which is the only connection UB MADI needs to get a MADI stream in and out of your PC or Mac.
UB MADI is fully hot-pluggable. Audio flows within 4 seconds of the device being plugged in and you don't need to restart, even if the connection is lost during a recording or playback. UB MADI is bus-powered. Only the USB cable is required to power UB MADI, even if you're driving signals over 100m of cable.
UB MADI is small, light and robust. Using a strong USB-B type socket and standard cabling, UB MADI is reliable and portable and takes up minimal space - perfect for a high performance location recording or virtual sound check system.
48 channels. Our aim with UB MADI is to deliver a great channel count without sacrificing latency, quality or reliability. The ground breaking performance of the SD7-derived FPGA and on-board 500MHz dualcore CPU and the specification of USB 2.0 means the sweet spot for an audio interface is 48 channels of IO simultaneously (full-duplex).
Apogee da-16 & da-16
The AD-16X & DA-16X are sixteen channel analog to digital converters, housed in a single rack space chassis. The units features a redesigned power supply, standard 192kHz sampling rates and the same C777 clocking technology found in Apogee's Big Ben master clock for jitter free conversion.
The ability to install optional Pro Tools HD and FireWire expansion cards make the AD-16X & DA-16X powerful and flexible conversion combinations. Not only do the units offer advanced conversion technology, but makes it available at a fraction of the cost previously associated with premium Apogee gear.
