Appsys MTA-64 MADI Twisted Pair to DiGiCo/Soundcraft/Studer Format Converter

About: Appsys MTA-64 MADI Twisted Pair to DiGiCo/Soundcraft/Studer Format Converter

With the MTA-64, the MVR-64 Multiverter becomes capable of connecting to the MADI-TP (MADI over Twisted Pair) variants used in DiGiCo and Soundcraft/Studer/Harman desks. It's simply connected between the MVR-64's MADI-TP port and your console or stagebox and adapts signal levels and pinouts to your needs. What's more: you don't need any special crossover cables thanks to internal MDIX logic - any standard 1:1 Cat5 cable will do, no matter if you want to connect to your console or the stagebox.
