By Full Compass LiveThe Ferrofish A32 is designed for MADIDefinition:
MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface): Originally called AES10. A unidirectional (sender to receiver), digital audio interface that has common features with the AES3 stereo digital audio interface. MADI transmits up to 64 channels serially over fiber-optic or coaxial lines. – the digitalDefinition:
A signal or data expressed as series of the digits 0 and 1, typically represented by values of a physical quantity such as voltage or magnetic polarization. audio interfaceDefinition:
A device to convert audio signals into digital code suitable for use by a computer; typically communication occurs through a port such as USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire, etc. for professionals. Up to 64 channels can be transferred using a simple pair of glass fiber cables (or coaxial cableDefinition:
A two-conductor cable with one wire surrounded by a tubular outer shield/conductor. Its main application is for high frequencies such as RF, due to exhibiting low inductance and low capacitance.) spanning a distance of up to 1.2 miles.
The DanteDefinition:
Dante™ (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet): The audio-over-IP standard created by Audinate (layer 3). Version has an additional interface with 64 digital inputs and 64 digital outputs, which can easily be integrated into existing Dante networks.
Alternatively, with an interconnection of two A32 Dantes, a live recording on the computer of up to 64 channels is possible at any time. In this case, a separate sound cardDefinition:
Typically a PCI card for installation in a computer to digitize audio and often, interface with MIDI signals. (such as, for example, when using the ADATDefinition:
ADAT (Alesis Digital Audio Tape): An S-VHS-based, 8-track digital audio recording format, syncable with additional units to add tracks in groups of 8. or MADI ports) is not necessary.
