Setting Up Alpha-Link Routing; Routing Madi In To Ana Out (For Playback); Routing Madi In To Aes Out (For Playback) - Solid State Logic Alpha-LinK MX 4-16 Setup Manual

Setting up Alpha-Link routing

Our objective is to provide a computer-based DAW with 24 AES/EBU and 40 Analogue inputs and outputs at 48kHz, with
the AES/EBU inputs and outputs routed to/from MADI channels 1 to 24, and the Analogue inputs and outputs routed
to/from MADI channels 25 to 48 (Alpha-Link MADI-SX) and 49 to 64 (Alpha-Link MX).
On the Alpha-Link, we need to set up the following internal routing:
• For playback, the MADI Input (receiving audio from the MadiXtreme/DAW) needs to be routed to the AES/EBU and
Analogue outputs (connected to the monitoring system, a console, external processors, etc).
• For recording, the AES/EBU and Analogue inputs (connected to sound sources) need to be routed to the MADI
Output (connected to the MadiXtreme/DAW computer).

Routing MADI In to ANA Out (for playback)

1) Press the OUTPUT button, repeatedly if necessary, until the ANA Output LED is lit. Then hold down the OUTPUT
button.
2) While holding down the OUTPUT button, press the INPUT button, repeatedly if necessary, until the MADI Input LED is
lit.
3) Release the buttons. MADI In is now routed to ANA Out.

Routing MADI In to AES Out (for playback)

1) Press the OUTPUT button, repeatedly if necessary, until the AES Output LED is lit. Then hold down the OUTPUT
button.
2) While holding down the OUTPUT button, press the INPUT button, repeatedly if necessary, until the MADI Input LED is
lit.
3) Release the buttons. MADI In is now routed to AES Out.
