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.

One application may require a small, powerful console to control many inputs from a small

number of faders. Other applications may trade console size for the power of accessing

each input quickly without having to swap the fader or recall a Layout. Specify enough

physical faders to conveniently control the required number of inputs. There can be up to

three fully loaded CM416s yielding 48 faders and 96 channels (there could be four CM416s

if two are half-loaded CM416L or R).

When considering I/O requirements, count the number of analog and AES/EBU inputs and

outputs required to hook up all equipment and auxiliary panels for extra equipment. Do not

specify I/O from the console perspective. For example, it is not efficient to specify one an-

alog input and one analog output to be used as an insert point for each channel input. For

microphone preamps, count the maximum number of preamps required including extras

rather than one preamp for every channel.

Number of ML530 Mic/Line Interfaces

Each ML530 contains 24 remote-controlled microphone preamps. Note that each ML530

includes one dedicated AM713 Analog to MADI Converter.

Total = (Microphone Preamps required / 24)

Number of AM713 Analog to MADI Converters

Each AM713 contains 24 analog to MADI converters (equipment outputs).

Total = (Analog inputs required / 24) + (1 per ML530)

Number of MA703 MADI to Analog Converters

Each MA703 contains 24 MADI to analog converters (equipment inputs).

Total = (Analog outputs required / 24) + (1 for MC524)
