I/O Specification

When considering I/O requirements, count the number of analog and AES/EBU inputs and
outputs required to hook up all equipment and auxiliary panels for extra equipment. Do not
specify I/O from the console perspective. For example, it is not efficient to specify one an-
alog input and one analog output to be used as an insert point for each channel input. For
microphone preamps, count the maximum number of preamps required including extras
rather than one preamp for every channel.
Number of ML530 Mic-Line Interfaces
Each ML530 contains 24 remote-controlled microphone preamps. Note that each ML530
requires one dedicated AM713 Analog to MADI Converter.
Total = (Microphone Preamps required / 24)
Number of AM713 Analog to MADI Converters
Each AM713 contains 24 analog to MADI converters (equipment outputs).
Total = (Analog inputs required / 24) + (1 per ML530)
Number of MA703 MADI to Analog Converters
Each MA703 contains 24 MADI to analog converters (equipment inputs).
Total = (Analog outputs required / 24) + (1 for MC524)
Number of DM714 AES/EBU to MADI Converters
Each DM714 contains 24 (12 pairs) AES/EBU to MADI converters (equipment outputs).
Total = (AES/EBU inputs required / 24)
Number of MD704 MADI to AES/EBU Converters
Each MD704 contains 24 MADI to AES/EBU converters (equipment inputs).
Total = (AES/EBU outputs required / 24)
Number of FC726 Format Converters
Each FC726 is a bidirectional device that contains 56 AES/EBU inputs and outputs (112
signals) that can be simultaneously sample-rate-converted in blocks of eight channels.
It also enables
Total = (Format-converted Inputs or Outputs / 56)
