The Soundcraft MADI-USB Combo 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, switchable
between digital output channels 1-32 and 33-64. The Cat 5 MADI port can be used simultaneously
with up to 32 inputs and 64 outputs (Digital output channels 1-64). However, more MADI inputs are
possible at the expense of the USB inputs, which would give 64 MADI inputs, 64 MADI outputs, and
32 USB outputs (NO USB inputs).
NOTE: By Default, the Si Impact card is set-up to handle 32 USB channels in and out
(channels 33-64), plus 32 MADI channels in and 64 MADI channels out (channels 1-64). If you
require a different conguration, you must change the DIP Switch settings on the card itself.
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.
USB Cable
The USB port on the MADI-USB combo card is the ‘B type’ connector. USB host
devices normally use the rectangular ‘A type’ connector. As such, a ‘A type to B
type’ USB cable is required.
