The MADI-192 MADI Option Card is a high-channel-count digital audio interface card engineered to expand the connectivity infrastructure of the modular Avid VENUE | S6L live mixing ecosystem. Operating as the central processing component of the system's external digital routing, this high-performance option card adds 64 channels of bi-directional MADI connectivity at a pristine 96 kHz sample rate over standard, rugged coaxial BNC connectors.

Purpose-built to seamlessly integrate your core mixing infrastructure with external broadcast trucks, multi-track recording systems, or Waves SoundGrid processing racks, this card installs directly into the internal PCIe expansion slots of the central engine core.

Key Features

• High-Density Signal Transmission: Sends and receives up to 64 independent channels of simultaneous digital audio recording and playback per card.
• Broadcast-Ready Integration: Effortlessly interfaces with external live broadcast rigs, remote multi-track recording environments, and outboard digital audio devices.
• System-Wide Scaling: System capabilities can be scaled up to 256 channels of bi-directional audio by combining multiple cards simultaneously inside the engine chassis.
• Master Clock Output: Features a dedicated, physical BNC-female Word Clock output connector to distribute sample-accurate master synchronization directly to downstream external hardware.
