• Optional build in world class microphone preamplifier
• Digital interface directly to Digi link via MADI
• Digital interface to Digi IO via AES/EBU
• Converter remote control from MAC or PC
• Mic pre controls available on the channel strip of Protools HD
• AX24 can be placed close to the microphones, due to long distance audio and
  control interfaces
  

DADman control:

All settings for the DAD AX24 converters is controlled via the DADman application which can run on MAC OSX and PC XP. DADman can be MIDI automated and is capable of emulating a Protools Pre. This means that the mic. pre. parameters like gain, pad, low cut, phantom power, phase inversion and channel mute, can be controlled from the ProTools channel strip and stored with the ProTools project.

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. Install the driver. Then Connect AX24’s to the RS422 converter via RS422 and install the DADman application on your DAW. DADman can be MIDI automated and is capable of emulating a Protools Pre. This means that the mic. pre. parameters like gain, pad, low cut, phantom power, phase inversion and channel mute, can be controlled from the ProTools channel strip and stored with the ProTools project

Digital audio interfacing:

AX24 can interface directly to the Digidesign® ProTools|HD® system via the DAD HD I/O interface box.
DAD HD I/O features two Digi links and two MADI I/O's for a total of 64 channels @ 96kHz or 32 channels
@ 192 kHz. Within ProTools® the DAD HD I/O interface box shows itself as two Digidesign® digital 192
I/O boxes.

With a MADI I/O cards 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 for 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 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.

Digital Audio interfacing with Digidesign 192 Digital I/O , 192 I/O, and 96 I/O:

AX24 can also interface directly to Digidesign 192 Digital I/O , Digidesign 192 I/O and Digidesign 96 I/O
via AES/EBU. A total of 16channels @ 96kHz can be connected to one Digidesign 192 Digital I/O via
AES/EBU. AES/EBU can be transferred at a distance of approx. 100 meter.

It is possible to use the additional legacy port at Digidesign 192 Digital I/O, Digidesign 192 I/O and
Digidesign if one AX24 is mounted with a DADIO PT Mix24 I/O however only at sample rates up to 48kHz.

Like for ProTools the AX24 AES/EBU interface is single wire @ 96kHz and dual wire @ 192kHz. the AX24
has a maximum sample rate @ 192kHz or more, the AES/EBU I/O features two 25 pin D-Sub connectors
for 8 ch. AES/EBU I/O @ 192kHz.
