Page 4: General
User's Manual GENERAL 1.1. Foreword Thank you for purchasing one of the most innovative digital audio converters on the market. The multiverter was designed with true vendor independence and interoperability in mind, with the idea to make all your gear interact seamlessly. Please note that due to the complex nature of such a product we decided to introduce functionality step-by-step, so you will find some functions described in this manual marked “available as firmware update”. -

Page 7: Overview
MVR-64 2.3. Overview The multiverter is a unique device which allows you to convert digital audio data between the most popular formats (ADAT, MADI optical, MADI coaxial, MADI-TP, AES50, and Dante - plus other formats via break-out boxes). All inputs can freely be routed to all of the outputs in a “matrix” fashion: When a connection in the matrix is made, all input channels are 1:1 routed to the output interface. -
Page 8: Connections Overview
User's Manual CONNECTIONS OVERVIEW This chapter gives you an overview of all connections on the back of the device. Please refer to 9. Specifications for full characteristics of each port. 3.1. AC Power Mains AC inlet, 90-240VAC, 0.75A max. Together with the DC power port, the inputs are full redundant. If any of the inputs fail, the other takes immediately over. -
Page 9: Rs485
MVR-64 To interface the audio system of the multiverter to a computer, connect is using Ethernet to the Dante port and use the Dante Virtual Soundcard software. 3.5. RS485 The RS485 port is prepared to send and receive Yamaha Headamp Remote control information 3.6. -
Page 10: Madi Bnc
User's Manual compatible to RME gear Where possible, use the "MADI optical" connectection rather than BNC or TP connections to reduce the chances of noise/interference and to increase reach. 3.8. MADI BNC This port carries MADI data according to the “coaxial” transmission method specified in AES10. -
Page 11: Aes50
MVR-64 carrying channels 1-48 (1-24@96kHz) and the second port carries channels 49-64 (25-32@96kHz).* 3.10. AES50 This port carries Behringer/MIDAS compatible digital audio data (48ch@ 48kHz, 24ch@96kHz). It is also prepared to transmit control data from and to Behringer/MIDAS preamps (i.e. for remote gain control). The LEDs indicates the current status: Yellow: Link detected ... -
Page 12: Dante/Aes67
User's Manual 3.12. Dante/AES67 The “Primary” and “Secondary” ports are standard gigabit Ethernet ports, designed to connect to Dante Digital Audio Network. AES67 mode is alternative to Dante mode and can be set in the Dante Controller Software. This port provides also remote control via standard TCP/IP (telnet) The port LEDs indicates the current status: Yellow: Link detected ... -
Page 13: Presets
MVR-64 PRESETS All settings (excluding headphones level) can be individually stored in one of the 12 preset locations, and may be recalled at any time later. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained for years even if the device is switched off or the power cable is unplugged. 4.1. -

User's Manual ROUTING The routing matrix indicates the interfaces between conversions are currently active. A green LED means that a connection is made between the two interfaces, and a conversion is currently in progress. A red LED means that a connection is made, but inactive because the ... -
Page 15: Clock Source
MVR-64 CLOCK SOURCE This selects the source for the multiverters master clock. In general, all components within a digital audio system must reference to the same master clock to ensure that all components run synchronously. The multiverter can use any of the interfaces as clock source, or alternatively it can act as clock master using its internal, high-quality clock synthesizer. - Page 16 User's Manual be checked.

Page 18: Advanced Topics
User's Manual ADVANCED TOPICS 8.1. Test tone mode For diagnostic purposes, the multiverter is able to play a test tone (1kHz, -20dB sine wave) on all outputs which are currently active. This feature is especially helpful to determine problems in your signal flow, as it does not rely on any external sources (except for the clock). - Page 19 MVR-64 Index Purpose Values (bold: default setting) Headphones mode 1 = Mono: Both L and R speakers of the headphones play the same monitor channel,. The channel indication ranges from 1 to 64 and changes in steps of 1. 2 = Stereo: Odd channels are played on the L speaker and the subsequent even channel is played on the right speaker.
