Solid State Logic MADI-X8 8-Port MADI Ethernet Box
Solid State Logic MADI-X8 8-Port MADI Ethernet Box
The XLogic MADI-X8 from Solid State Logic is an affordable, powerful and versatile 8 port MADI routing system, and is the perfect solution for audio distribution and aggregation challenges found in a broad range of professional environments. These include broadcast production studios and outside broadcast vehicles, large scale film/game scoring, multi-room studio complexes requiring real time asset sharing and live sound. In addition to offering simple point-to-point bulk routing, the unit offers source distribution (single source to many destinations), device splitting (any combination of individual channels to any destination) and source aggregation (a single 64 channel output consists of any combination of channels from various inputs.) It provides a 512 x 512 point routing matrix controlled by cross-platform SSL Logictivity browser software, making the creation of even the most complex routing configurations very straightforward. The hardware itself can store up to 128 presets and continues to function when the browser software is disconnected. The MADI-X8 can act as a master clock source or as a clock distribution system via its MADI and/or Wordclock connections. It has Intelligent Clock Sensing with Auto Failover which can monitor both a Primary Master Clock and a Secondary Clock source and switch automatically should the master clock source fail. Up to four units can be controlled by a single browser, and multiple browsers can control a single MADI-X8 over a wired or wireless network.
