    MVR-64 GENERAL 1.1. Purpose With the MTA-64, the multiverter becomes capable of connecting to the MADI-TP variants used in DiGiCo and Soundcraft/Studer/Harman desks, which - although not officially standardized - have gained widespread acceptance because they are built into many desks and stageboxes. The MTA-64s relay logic eliminates the need for crossover cables and allows to use standard straight (1:1) cabling in all situations.
