  • Page 6: Chapter 1: Overview Introduction

    CHAPTER 1: Overview CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction Welcome to MONTONE.42, DirectOut’s fully AES67-compliant MADI (AES10) to Audio-over-IP bridge based on RAVENNA audio networking technology. MONTONE.42 provides seamless integration of network audio with existing infrastructures. Equipped with four MADI and two gigabit network ports, it serves as a versatile link for broadcast, live-sound and studio applications.

  • Page 7: How It Works

    The routing matrix also allows for signal routing between the MADI I/Os without using the network. The routing is available on a per channel basis. Applications MONTONE.42 can be used for signal distribution, streaming audio, conversion of RAVENNA or AES67 compliant network audio to AES10, conversion of different MADI signals.
