    Product highlights:
    • World class AD/DA converter with optional build in microphone preamplifier
    • Digital audio interfacing via MADI or AES/EBU
    • Mic. preamplifier remote control from the channel strips of System 5 Hybrid and 5MC
    • EuCon control protocol for AX24 converter system
    • AX24 can be placed close to the microphones, due to long distance audio and
      control interfaces

    DADman control with Euphonix EuCon integration:
    All settings for AX24 is controlled via the DADman application which can run on MAC OSX and PC XP.

    The PC XP version of DADman features EuCon integration, enabling the Euphonix System 5 Hybrid
    and the 5MC controller to control the settings of the AX24.

    I it is possible to view the DADman control surface at the LCD screen of the System 5 Hybrid console
    or the 5MC controller and to to edit the various parameters. Via the EuCon integration control of the mic pre
    parameters like gain, delay, pad, low cut, phantom power, phase inversion, and channel mute can be
    made from the channel strip of the console or the controller.

    The control interface for the AX24 itself is RS422. A RS422 control signal can be transferred at a
    distance of more than 100 meter.

    Digital Audio Denmark can provide a variety of small USB to RS422 or Ethernet to RS422 converter
    boxes with between 1 and 8 RS422 outputs for controlling one or multiply AX24’s.
    Simply connect the RS422 converter box to your DAW computer or connect the Ethernet to RS422
    converter to Ethernet. Install the driver. Then Connect AX24’s to the RS422 converter via RS422 and
    install the DADman/EuCon application at your DAW or at a seperate computer connected to Ethernet.

    If the AX24’s has to be operated together with Pyramix it is recommended to install the DADman control
    program on a separate computer. For other DAW applications DADman can be installed at the same
    computer as the DAW.

    Digital audio interfacing:
    AX24 can interface to Euphonix System 5 via AES/EBU or MADI.

    With a MADI I/O card mounted in the AX24’s multiply AX24’s can be daisy chained into one MADI link.
    One MADI link can be used for 64 channels @ 48kHz, 32 channels @ 96kHz and 16 channels
    @ 192kHz audio.

    Coax based MADI can be transferred at a distance of approx. 100 meter, and optical based MADI
    can be transferred at a distance of more than 1 km. For optical MADI connection between the stage
    and the control room two DAD HD I/O interface boxes are needed since the MADI card at the AX24
    analog/digital front end is coax based MADI.

    The DAD HD I/O interface can also come in handy if you want to use ProTools® as your DAW
    since the DAD HD I/O interface features MADI to ProTools HD conversion.

    The internal clock circuit at AX24 is more precise than most clock devices. We therefore
    recommend to use one of the AX24 as Word Clock master for the whole synchronization.

    It is possible to daisy chain the Word Clock between multiply AX24’s however if more than 3 units
    AX24 has to be synchronized together we recommend to use a Word Clock distribution amplifier for
    Word Clock distribution.
