The Solid State Logic MADI Xtreme 128 is a PCIe audio card with 2 optical MADI connectors for 128 simultaneous I/Os.

Connected to 2 SSL Alpha-Link MADI AX or SSL Alpha-Link MADI SX at the same time.

Both MADI ports can also be used as redundant multichannel feeds and in applications that need a high number of I/Os in recording, mixing, or playout.

SSL MADI Xtreme is a new family of multichannel PCIe audio cards for Mac and PC from Solid State Logic.

Featuring their PCIe-Core Audio Pipeline technology, MADI Xtreme is one of the first audio devices to take full advantage of the high speeds and incredible bandwidth offered by the PCIe bus on modern computers.

MADI Xtreme supports a huge variety of applications through its SSL Soundscape Family Drivers.

The drivers are fully multi-client capable (allowing several applications to simultaneously access the device) and allow seamless multi-card configurations (up to 6 Cards per system if enough PCIe slots are available).

RME HDSPe MADIface

Current laptops offer calculation power on par with fast desktop systems.

Dual core processors, 2GB RAM, big and fast hard drives, dual monitor operation with a quick graphics card—today all this is also available small, lightweight, and portable.

Thanks to the fast PCI Express bus and the latest, extremely powerful FPGAs, RME is proud to present another milestone in the company's history—the world's first and only MADI interface for laptops, based on an ExpressCard: the MADIface!

Consisting of the HDSPe ExpressCard MADI and a small breakout box, the MADIface offers full MADI power with 64 channels of input and 64 channels of output.

It also provides up to 192kHz sample rate, in MADI-embedded MIDI transmission, comes with TotalMix, and has all the features of the bigger HDSPe MADI, as well as low latency and CPU load.

To make the usage as smooth as possible, the power for the breakout box is provided directly by the ExpressCard, so no external power supply is required.

The MADIface is fully compatible to all devices with MADI interface.

Of course, it can be used perfectly in combination with RME's own MADI series products as well.

Thanks to RME's flash update technology, future firmware improvements, adjustments, and bugfixes can be installed easily at any time.

RME's HDSPe ExpressCard MADI is a true PCI Express solution, which consequently takes full advantage of the format, achieving significant performance gains in multitrack audio.

The connection between ExpressCard MADI and the breakout box is established using ordinary FireWire cable (IEEE 1394, 6-pin).

However, the data transfer does not use FireWire protocol.

The supplied cable is 3-feet long.

The ExpressCard MADI serves as power supply for the breakout box, freeing you from the hassle of additional wall warts.

The MADIface offers full support for 56- and 64-channel modes and double and single wire technology (96k frame) for 96kHz.

Full 64-channel support can also be found in the hardware mixer TotalMix.

All 64 inputs and 64 playback channels can be routed and mixed to 64 physical outputs completely freely of each other, which translates to an 8192-channel mixer.

With that, RME's MADI interfaces offer one of the most powerful router/mixers ever implemented on a PCIe card, and allows much more than a usage as pure computer I/O unit:

•MADI optical patchbay and router

•MADI coaxial/optical or vice versa converter and splitter

•MADI redistributor, patchbay, and routerTotalMix can be completely remote controlled via MIDI.

Furthermore, the hardware delivers RMS and peak level meters for full control over 192 audio channels at minimal CPU load.

RME uses a configuration memory for the most important settings of the card.

Instead of operating in a default mode on computer power-up until loading the driver, MADIface activates the last used sample rate, master/slave configuration and MADI format immediately when switched on.

Audition each one to hear how it works for your music and buy the plug-ins you really want.

The Neve 88 Series analog console represents the best of all Neve designs that came before it.

Considered the ultimate console for modern features and reliability, it is also heralded as one of the best-sounding consoles by veterans of both the audio and film communities.

The 88RS has found a home in some of the finest rooms and scoring stages around the world, including Ocean Way, Abbey Road, AIR, The Village, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Skywalker Sound.

Originally designed by Rupert Neve in 1970, the Neve 1073 channel module is derived from revered Neve consoles such as the 8014.

The 1073 is famous for adding otherwise unattainable sheen and clarity to music tracks.

Modeling the 3-band EQ and high-pass filter with painstaking detail and thoroughness, Universal Audio's Neve 1073 EQ delivers the same sonic experience of its analog cousin with exacting detail.

At no extra charge, the 1073 EQ includes a DSP optimized 1073SE EQ for high instance counts.

The Neve 1081 channel module was first produced in 1972 by Neve, and was used to provide the mic/line amp and EQ sections in consoles such as the Neve 8048.

Vintage 8048 consoles, with 1081 modules, are still in wide use today- at classic facilities such as The Village in Los Angeles- and have been chosen by artists ranging from The Rolling Stones to The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Derived from the original Neve 2254 compressor, circa 1969, the 33609 stereo bus compressor/limiter utilizes a bridged-diode gain reduction circuit and many custom transformers.

The uniquely musical character of this circuit made the 33609 a studio standard since its release.

Every detail of the original unit is captured, and matches its hardware counterpart with absolute precision.

The 33609 plug-in includes a DSP-optimized 33609SE which allows for higher instance counts.

Like all other UAD-2 cards the Nevana 128 software can run any of the UAD-2 plug-in collection including favorites like the UA LA-2A, Fairchild 670 a
