Madison whenever such updates become available. Information on how to process such updates are given with the update files. The USB port may also be utilized as a service port for SPL engineers. Clock Provides Wordclock I/O, including a termination switch for the Wordclock input. The termina- tion switch should be engaged if there is no connection present on the Wordclock input and the Wordclock output is used to clock an external device. -

Page 13: Operation
Operation MADI Modes 56 CH and 64 CH Since MADI was invented in the early 1990‘s (AES10-1991), the industry forced a couple of evolutional changes on the standard (AES 10-2003) to adapt to the broad digitalization of audio production in general. Today, two general MADI modes are known: 56CH and 64CH;... -

Control Elements MADI Button Use the MADI Button in order to select one of the modes described in the previous chapter „Operation“. Press the button to toggle between modes, the above LEDs indicate which mode is selected. With sample rates of 44.1 to 48kHz you can only toggle between 56Ch and 64Ch MADI mode (Hi and Lo Speed are only selcetable at double or quad sample rates). -
Page 16: Clock Button
The clock of the Madison can be set to its own internal high-precision clock, generated by our ultra-low jitter SPL Clock Shop, which then becomes the clock Master of the complete digital system connected to it. All other digital devices connected to the Madison need to slave to this clock (by connecting to the Madison’s Wordclock or MADI Out). -
