Page 7: Installation
CHAPTER 1 Installation Introduction Overview The AMP1-MADIe-SM and AMP1-MADIe-MM are 1RU, 8 of 64 channel MADI audio monitors. Each contains a BNC MADI input and output plus (depending upon the model purchased) either a single- mode or a multi-mode fiber input and output. Although the AMP1- MADIe-SM (single-mode fiber) and AMP1-MADIe-MM (multi-mode fiber) are distinct models, largely their operation is identical, so they will be referred to in this manual as simply AMP1-MADIe. -
