  • Page 2: General Description

    The MADA-2 has AES3 and SPDIF digital inputs and outputs, as well as a Word Clock input and output. Analog inputs and outputs are balanced and floating so that they can used with either balanced or unbalanced signals.

    Each time you power up the MADA-2, the “Over” LED will light up. Press the reset switch to turn-off the Over LED.
  • Page 4 MDAC board inside the MADA-2 that will allow you to change the level calibration for the DA section. Digital inputs There are two digital inputs on the MADA-2. One is configured as an AES-3 or AES/EBU input, and the other is an SPDIF input. The AES-3 input is a 110 ohm, transformer isolated, and balanced XLR input.
