MADI streams between coaxial, optical (SC) and twisted pair signals. Thanks to a fully bit-transparent routing of incoming MADI streams, the ml:mio is compatible with all MADI formats on the market and will preserve any proprietary control data. In this way, the ml:mio compensates for the missing standard in the conversion of MADI data –...

The ml:mio operates fully autonomously without any external control software. The routing is set by three built-in switches. Each input can be routed to as many outputs as required. The two BNC outputs always carry the same signal.
LED routing LED optical coaxial LED color scheme To facilitate the usage of the ml:mio, different colors are assi- gned to the three MADI formats TP, optical SC and BNC: TP (blue / white) optical SC (red) BNC (green)

input LEDs The input LEDs are always set to the color of the related input type (TP, optical SC, BNC) and indicate the state of the input: If the LED is glowing constantly, a valid carrier has been detected within the MADI stream. If the LED is off, no valid carrier could be detected (e.g.
4 - 7 seconds for vendor mode swapping vendor mode Since different vendors use different implementations of MADI over TP, the ml:mio is able to switch between vendors to gua- rantee maximum compatibility. The two possible vendor modes are: •...

LED will tell you the vendor mode and the input sig- nal status. The lower LED the current TP output routing. If the ml:mio is connected to a mixing desk, the upper LED tells you the current TP output routing and the lower LED the vendor mode and input signal status.
1: BNC to all outputs In this example, the ml:mio is connected to a peripheral device and the vendor mode is set to DiGiCo. The BNC signal is being routed to all outputs. Every routing LED lights up green, every switch is set to BNC.

2: TP to BNC, BNC to TP In this example, the ml:mio is connected to a monitoring desk and the vendor mode is set to DiGiCo. TP is converted to BNC, BNC is converted to TP. The BNC output LED lights up blue, the TP output LED lights up green.

At many venues, you want to overcome the limited reach of TP cables and connect, for example, a stage box to a FoH-console via optical cables. For this reason, we use two ml:mio - each converts between optical and TP signals.

The TP socket of the first ml:mio is connected to a FoH - con sole, while the second one is connected to the stage box. Both convert TP to optical output and optical input to TP. The difference is the RX/TX configuration depending on the connected device.
CE Declaration of Conformity The product ml:mio by sonible was tested by an independent test laboratory and found to comply with the limits of the Euro- pean Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to the following standards.
