The Euphonix StudioHub high-performance MADI router solution brings a new level of quality, and affordability to digital audio.

The new StudioHub SH624 is a 24x24 MADI router (max of 1,536 x 1,536 time slots) in a compact 2U rugged rack mount package for integration with facility routers. Euphonix manufactures a wide variety of MADI compatible analog and digital interface converters for connecting to the StudioHub router.

What is MADI?

MADI is used by several console manufacturers, including Euphonix, Sony and AMS/Neve, as an efficient way to transport up to 64 channels of 16, 20 or 24-bit digital audio at a sample rate of up to 48 kHz (up to 32 channels at 96KHz) on a single coax cable. Cable lengths up to 100m are supported - more using fiber (see FiberTran). MADI is an AES standard.

Both Max Air and System 5 digital audio consoles have their own router built into the DF66 DSP SuperCore. The StudioHub is for extending these console routing systems and for integration or replacement of broadcast routers in the facility.

StudioHub is available in three different packages:

Integrated TDM Broadcast Audio Routing Frame

Integrates with ES-Switch Protocol Routers including: Nvision, Pesa, Pro-bel, Sony, Grass Valley and Utah Scientific.
Finally a solution that integrates the digital audio console router frame with the main broadcast facility router. This eliminates the need for two routing and I/O systems in certain broadcast applications with considerable cost savings and increased efficiency of operation.

Audio Facility MADI Router

For large single room facilities or for connecting audio between multiple rooms, Euphonix can provide StudioHub with a standalone patching software application that runs on a PC. Analog and digital audio signals can be connected using the range of Euphonix converters or any MADI source.
