Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The lighting flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
Product Description Chapter 1: Product Description Euphonix Modular I/O is designed to add a new level of flexibility in I/O configuration to the Euphonix range of audio converters. The Modular I/O system offers several types of frames that can be fitted with a variety of I/O modules.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description Each audio backplane contains 32 passive stereo audio busses (64 total signal paths). Audio source and destination modules are connected to audio busses via physical on-board jumpers or via web-browser interface. Any audio buss may have multiple destinations but only a single source.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description For use as a local-side interface for redundant MADI-over- Fiber, four rear-plane “positions” of 3-slots each are audio isolated from the rest of the frame. These positions are as follows: slots 8-10, slots 11-13, slots 14-16, and slots17-19.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description • <56 out> • <64 out> 96k Operation: In frames operating at 96k sample rate, only the first 28 signals in a MADI stream are available. In these cases, <32 in, 32 out> working mode yields the best signal efficiency with 28 MADI inputs and 28 MADI outputs at 96k.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description General Description The MM936 contains a single MADI I/O connected via two multi-mode fiber transceivers for redundant MADI-over-Fiber operation. The module is typically placed in an IO94 Stagebox frame and interfaces to the console via a MM936 and MM934 pair placed in an IO95 local-side interface frame.

All settings are done with on- board switches including buss linking and analog reference level.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description General Description The AD924 provides 4 remote controlled preamps with 24 bit resolution and sample rates up to 96k. Preamps are controlled via Eucon interface or web browser interface via the TCP/IP network on the FC972 Remote. On-board switches are used to link the sources to the frame’s audio...
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description The DD901 provides decoding of Dolby E and Dolby digital signals. Access to metadata parameters is via web-browser interface (FC972 Remote required). Certain settings are done from on-board switches such as device ID.
Euphonix Modular I/O Configuration Guide Product Description module is capable of terminal-gear type functionality such as audio replacement, typically when used as an audio console interface it will function as either an embedder or de- embedder. All settings are done using on-board switches.
