About the Klark Teknik DN32-MADI_001 MADI Expansion Module
The Klark Teknik DN32-MADI_001 is an expansion module that adds MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) connectivity to compatible Klark Teknik and other digital mixing consoles. MADI is a professional audio networking standard capable of transporting 64 channels of high-resolution digital audio over a single coaxial or fiber-optic cable. This module provides the physical interface and processing necessary to connect a digital mixer to a wider MADI ecosystem, which may include stage boxes, digital recorders, broadcast routers, or other MADI-equipped devices. By adding this module, the console's I/O capacity is significantly expanded, enabling it to be the center of a large, complex digital audio network for major live productions, broadcast facilities, and fixed installations.
The module supports high sample rates and offers robust, low-latency transmission, ensuring pristine audio quality and precise synchronization across all connected devices. It typically features both coaxial and optical MADI ports for flexible cabling options and includes status indicators for signal presence and synchronization. Integration is designed to be straightforward, with the module slotting into a designated bay within the mixer's frame or connecting via a dedicated expansion bus. This expansion capability future-proofs the mixing console, allowing it to scale alongside production requirements and integrate seamlessly with other professional audio infrastructure based on the widely adopted MADI standard.
For system designers and front-of-house engineers working on large-scale productions, the DN32-MADI_001 module is a critical tool for building scalable, high-channel-count audio systems. It breaks the I/O limitations of the console's local inputs, enabling the use of extensive remote stage boxes and facilitating complex multi-zone system designs with a streamlined digital backbone.
