Installation

Hardware Considerations

The XLogic SDI-MADI is built in a 1U 19” enclosure. It is intended to be permanently installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. The unit has no internal fans and is cooled by natural convection. There are ventilation grilles in the top, bottom and both sides of the enclosure, and care must be taken to ensure that these are not blocked by cables or other equipment when the unit is installed. Do not install any other items of equipment immediately above or below to the SDI-MADI; the use of 1U blanking panels is recommended.

Power Supply Considerations

The SDI-MADI is fitted with two separate, auto-ranging switch-mode power supplies (PSUs). The operating voltage range is 90 to 264 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The internal power rails are diode-paralleled to the two supplies, and the unit will operate normally if only one PSU is powered or functional. For maximum protection when using both PSUs, the two AC inlet cables should be connected to mains circuits which are as independent of each other as possible. If redundant operation is not required, only one AC supply cable need be connected; either AC inlet may be used.

Fuses And Ratings

Each of the SDI-MADI’s PSUs has an internal resettable fuse for PSU protection. These fuses are no accessible to the user. The unit should be powered from a mains supply (supplies) fitted with an external HRC-type fuse (High Inrush Current) rated at 1 A.

Unit Connections

SDI Inputs

The SDI-MADI can simultaneously de-embed the 16 audio channels in each of four separate SD video signals. Four BNC sockets are provided a the rear panel for connecting the SDI inputs. The characteristic impedance is 75 . The SDI-MADI is compatible with all SDI formats up to 3G (2.9 Gbps and auto-detects between them. See the Technical Specifications on page 16 for full list of compatible

formats.

Each SDI input has an active “loop through” output to simplify the connection of further equipment. The outputs are fully buffered from the inputs and are re clocked. The SDI bit stream is otherwise unaltered.

1266 specifications

The Solid State Logic 1266 is a premium analog channel strip renowned for its versatility and high-quality audio processing. This channel strip combines sophisticated features, advanced technologies, and the renowned SSL sound, making it a favorite among audio engineers and producers.

One of the standout features of the SSL 1266 is its classic SSL EQ, which boasts four bands of equalization. Each band offers selectable frequency ranges, allowing users to perform precise tonal adjustments. The high and low bands can operate as shelving or peak filters, providing flexibility in shaping sound. This powerful EQ section is complemented by a dynamic section, which includes an LED-level meter and a compressor/limiter. The compressor is characterized by its smooth response, allowing for detailed dynamic control over tracks, while the limiter provides an additional safety net for preventing signal clipping.

Another key feature is the inclusion of the iconic SSL mic preamp circuitry. The 1266 is equipped with a transformer-balanced mic pre, designed to deliver warmth and presence to vocals and instruments. It provides ample gain, ensuring the ability to capture signals clearly, even from low-output microphones. The design is meticulous, featuring very low noise and distortion levels, resulting in pure, transparent sound reproduction.

The SSL 1266 also incorporates the brand's proprietary 'SuperAnalog' technology, which enhances the overall sonic performance. This technology ensures low noise and high headroom, allowing the channel strip to handle high-level signals without compromising audio integrity. Additionally, the unit is designed with a robust build quality, featuring a durable chassis and high-grade components that ensure longevity and reliability in studio environments.

Furthermore, the 1266 includes features such as a high-pass filter and an insert point for integrating external processors, providing even more flexibility in sound design. It is also equipped with a line input and a balanced output, further enhancing connectivity options.

The Solid State Logic 1266 channel strip exemplifies the perfect blend of classic analog warmth and modern functionality. It caters to a wide range of applications, from tracking to mixing, making it an indispensable tool for any audio professional seeking to elevate their sound. With its comprehensive features and SSL's legacy of quality, the 1266 is a worthy investment for those aiming for excellence in audio production.
