Seller's Description

Be empowered with the 32-Channel MADI Expansion Module, a high-performance AES10-compliant module designed for Midas and Behringer digital consoles. This state-of-the-art expansion module offers up to 32 bidirectional channels at a 48kHz sample rate, providing superior audio quality for professional use. The MADI Expansion Module is engineered to operate up to 500m over an optical fibre link and 100m over a coaxial copper link. It features an optical transmission on an SC-Duplex connector and copper transmission on 75ohm coaxial BNC connectors, ensuring reliable and efficient data transmission. Experience the convenience of dual-redundant operation with failover from optical to copper connections, making this module a reliable choice for critical audio applications. The module can operate as either a MADI clock master or a MADI clock slave, providing flexibility in your audio setup. This expansion module allows the selection of 32 input and output channels (1-32, 33-64) from 64 MADI channels, offering a wide range of options for audio routing. MADI devices are renowned for their versatility in a broad range of professional audio applications, including permanent installation, touring sound, live/studio recording, and broadcasting. The DN32-MADI expansion card enables your Midas M32 or Behringer x32 digital console to exchange 24-bit multichannel audio streams at 44.1 or 48 kHz with any other MADI compatible devices. The DN32-MADI supports AES10-1991 with up to 56 x 56 channels and AES10-2003 with up to 64 x 64 channels, providing extensive connectivity options. The DN32-MADI features optical duplex SC-plugs (IEC874-19) to connect with MADI devices using multimode optical-fibre cable. It also offers dual BNC connectors for transmission on standard 75-Ohm coaxial cables up to 100 meters in length. When both the optical and coaxial interfaces are utilized, the coaxial I/O serves as a redundant connection, automatically activated should the optical connection become unavailable. Both the BNC coaxial and optical-fibre inputs can function as the word clock source for your mixing console. Alternatively, the coaxial and optical outputs can transmit the console's internal word clock to external devices. The DN32-MADI card's input stream can accommodate up to 64 channels, 32 of which can be used inside your console. Moreover, 32 of these internal signals can be transmitted on the MADI output stream, replacing those of the corresponding input channels. This feature allows two consoles to be easily combined via their DN32-MADI cards to provide a total of 64 channels for live sound or recording. Designed and engineered in England, this MADI Expansion Module is a testament to Klark Teknik's commitment to providing the best possible customer experience. Their products are made in their own Music Group factory using state-of-the-art automation, enhanced production workflows, and quality assurance labs with the most sophisticated test equipment available in the world.

About Behringer

Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.

The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.

Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
