The M64 is a flexible MADI interface, router, repeater, splitter, converter and stand-alone mixer with AVB-TSN networking and connectivity to a host computer through class compliant, high-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0 and iOS). The M64 provides 64 channels each of optical MADI I/O, coaxial/BNC MADI I/O, USB and AVB-TSN network I/O, plus a headphone output, for 514 simultaneous I/O channels. A duplicate BNC output is included for splitting the coax bank to two separate destinations, without the need for a separate splitter. A convenient, assignable front-panel headphone output with volume control allows for convenient monitoring of any stereo channel pair.
Housed in a sturdy aluminum alloy half-rack enclosure, the M64 is ideal for routing 64-channel MADI streams in live performance systems, AVB-TSN network installations or recording studios of any size. Powerful DSP delivers large console style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. Extensive routing patches ins to outs, or splits input channels to multiple destinations. Use the M64 as a stand-alone mixer and control everything from the M64's innovative web app running on your iPad™, iPhone™, tablet, smartphone, and laptop. Connect a second MOTU AVB-TSN interface with a simple Ethernet cable. Incorporate the M64 into a larger AVB-TSN audio network with standard AVB-TSN switches and sub-millisecond latency, even over long cable runs. From studio to stage to corporate campus, the M64 delivers flexible digital routing/conversion, state-of-the-art operation and reliable performance.
