① MADI COAXIAL OUT connector

This is a BNC connector for digital audio output in AES10-2008 format.

Use a 75Ω coaxial cable to connect an external MADI device and transmit digital audio and control signals.

② MADI COAXIAL THRU connector (IF-MA64/EX only)

This is a BNC connector for digital audio output in AES10-2008 format.

The MADI COAXIAL IN connector signal is thru output.

Use a 75Ω coaxial cable to connect an external MADI device and transmit digital audio and control signals.

NOTE

The signal from the MADI COAXIAL IN connector is output through the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector whether the unit is on or off.

When the unit is turned on/off, however, the signal output from the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector will be momentarily interrupted. For this reason, time turning the unit on/off carefully when the signal output from the MADI COAXIAL THRU connector is being used by a connected device.

③ MADI COAXIAL IN connector

This is a BNC connector for digital audio input in AES10-2008 format.

Use a 75Ω coaxial cable to connect an external MADI device and receive digital audio and control signals.

④ LOCK indicator

This indicator lights when a valid signal is being input through the connector selected in the card setting menu (MADI INPUT SELECT item COAXIAL or OPTICAL setting).

NOTE

This will not light when receiving signals with sampling frequencies that are different from the main unit's setting.

⑤ MADI OPTICAL OUT connector (IF-MA64/EX only)

This is an SC connector for digital audio output in AES10-2008 format.

Use a multi-mode optical fiber cable to connect an external MADI device and transmit digital audio and control signals.

Attach the included rubber cap when not in use to prevent dust from entering.

⑦ MADI OPTICAL IN connector (IF-MA64/EX only)

This is an SC connector for digital audio input in AES10-2008 format.

Use a multi-mode optical fiber cable to connect an external MADI device and receive digital audio and control signals.

Attach the included rubber cap when not in use to prevent dust from entering.
