Page 9: Chapter 1: Max Air Overview
Euphonix Max Air Installation Guide Chapter 1: Max Air Overview This chapter explains the basic elements of any digital audio mixing system and introduces the components of Max Air. It concludes with a section explaining how to estimate your system’s requirements. -
Page 10: Digital Signal Processing
Euphonix Max Air Installation Guide Max Air Overview Channels Max Air has 96 channels. Mono channels may be grouped as stereo or any format up to 7.1, which means that one fader may use one to eight logical channels. Strips Each fully loaded CM416 16-channel Module contains 16 physical faders or strips. -
Page 11: Microphone Inputs
Euphonix has tested several digital sync generators and distribution amplifiers and can supply these devices with the console. Contact a Euphonix sales representative for further information. -
Page 12: System Control Connections
Euphonix Max Air Installation Guide Max Air Overview We recommend following these guidelines: • It is important to minimize the timing differences between signal paths to avoid cumulative timing errors. It is good system engineering practice to send sync signals to all system components from one source. -
Page 13: Estimating System Requirements
Estimating System Requirements This section helps estimate the system requirements for a particular installation. Contact a Euphonix representative for an exact specification. Use the following categories to determine the Max Air components necessary for your studio. Most of the studio details considered here are relevant to any digital mixing system. - Page 14 Euphonix Max Air Installation Guide Max Air Overview Number of DM714 AES/EBU to MADI Converters Each DM714 routes 24 digital inputs (12 AES/EBU pairs) to MADI converters (equipment outputs). Total = (AES/EBU inputs required / 24) Number of MD704 MADI to AES/EBU Converters Each MD704 routes 24 MADI channels to 24 digital outputs (12 AES/EBU pairs) (equip- ment inputs).
