CHAPTER 1: Overview CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction The ANDIAMO.AES is a 64-channel AES3/MADI interface with a built-in routing matrix. It provides two MADI inputs and outputs, 32 AES3 inputs and outputs for bi-directional conversion of 64 audio-channels between AES3 and MADI.
(84 V to 264 V AC / 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety class 1) Applications ANDIAMO.AES (SRC) can be used for conversion, distribution and routing of digital signals. Typical applications include: • signal routing / distribution (192 x 192 cross points) •...

This guide refers to firmware version 2.7 Intended Operation The ANDIAMO.AES (SRC) is designed for conversion of audio signals from digital to digital. In this context digital audio refers to a MADI signal (AES10) and AES signal (AES3). WARN ING ! No compensation can be claimed for damages caused by operation of this unit other than for the intended use described above.
