MADI also allows cable runs up to 100 m (328 ft.), but obviously it's greatest advantage is the number of audio channels it can transmit via a single cable. MADI is most useful when you have MADI-equipped mixers or lots of outboard gear. When combined with the SSL MADIXtreme 64 (see #500933) or MADIXtreme 128 (see #500934) PCIe card, you have a very powerful means of getting audio in and out of your DAW with plenty of room for future expansion.A recommended setup for those want to use a mixing console with their DAW, such as the Toft ATB-24A (#580040), which would provide a complete AD/DA-analog recording and mixing setup. Another unit that we recommend with this setup would be a D-Sub/TT patchbay such as the Switchcraft 9625 TT Patchbay (#501601) with Planet Waves Modular Snakes (#334007 & 334008) for quick and easy setup.
