The Soundcraft SI-MADI-USB MADI-USB Combination Card offers digital audio connection between an Si series console and Apple Mac or PC with a USB port as well as any of the Soundcraft range of Stageboxes via Soundcraft’s proprietary Cat 5 MADI connection. Audio capability across the USB link is 32 channels in and 32 channels out at 48KHz, whilst the Cat 5 MADI port can be used simultaneously with up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs. More channels can be transported via MADI at the expense of the USB connection for a maximum of 64 MADI input/output paths.
Connection and setup of the card to a PC is made simple with the use of the Soundcraft digital audio driver and associated control panel. USB connection to a Mac requires no extra software or drivers. The MADI-USB Combo card is an ideal platform from which to record and use a Stagebox at live situations where recording and remote I/O is a must.
