Handy in-line converter between Optical and Coaxial MADI. The SSL MADI Opti-Coax is a handy format converter box designed to convert up to 64 audio channels bi-directionally (64 in x 64 out; 32 channels @ 96 kHz) between the MADI Optical and MADI Coaxial formats. Its front panel is equipped with one set of MADI SC duplex optical input & output connectors and one set of MADI BNC coaxial input & output connectors. Conversion takes place in real time with no latency and no audio degradation. In addition to simple format conversion, a pair of MADI Opti-Coax units can be used to extend a MADI Coax connection by up to 1 km by utilising the MADI Optical format. MADI Opti-Coax is constructed from a rugged all metal case with non-slip rubber feet and is extremely simple to use, with a standard IEC C14 mains inlet for power. Up to three units can be housed side-by-side in a standard 19" rack. T-slots in either side of the unit provide further mounting options.
