Yamaha MY16MD64 16-Channel MADI I/O Card DetailsThe MY16-MD64 card adds 16 channels of MADI input and output connectivity to Yamaha devices with mini-YGDAI slots. A Plug-in, Expandable Solution for MADI Multi-channel Audio Networking More and more professional audio applications are adopting the MADI digital audio interface because of its reliability and long distance capability. The reliability and simplified installation and maintenance provided over long distances makes MADI an ideal choice for multi-room production facilities, outdoor broadcast venues, large live sound and recording applications, and more.
A single MADI link provides unidirectional transmission, so the MY16-MD64 card is provided with independent input and output connectors in both coaxial and optical formats. Full bidirectional transfer of up to 64 channels can be achieved with just two thin cables. Coaxial cables can be used for runs of up to 100 meters, while optical connections allow audio data to be reliably transmitted for up to 2,000 meters. The MY16-MD64 card also provides failsafe redundancy with automatic switching from optical to coaxial inputs and outputs in case of accidental disconnection. The optical interface provides total isolation from electromagnetic noise and interference, which can be a huge advantage in susceptible locations. In addition to direct connection to other Yamaha professional audio equipment equipped with MY16-MD64 cards and MY16-EX cards as required, these cards communicate seamlessly with MADI devices from other manufacturers, allowing networks of just about any size to be created to suit the widest possible range of applications requirements. MADI is also an ideal choice for connecting to computers running Steinberg DAW software for recording and production.
