XLogic Delta-Link MADI HD

Congratulations on your purchase of the XLogic Delta-Link MADI HD! Please be assured that it will provide you with many years of reliable service while delivering the pristine audio quality you expect from any Solid State Logic product.

The Delta-Link MADI HD is an elegantly styled, 1U high, rack mountable unit. The front panel design is reminiscent of the rest of the XLogic Alpha-Link range… rather understated in this case: since the unit is controlled from thecomputer, the only front panel controls are the power switch, the power LED and a lock indicator LED.

Using Delta-Link MADI HD you can hook-up a standalone, MADI compatible multi channel I/O and format conversion unit to a Pro Tools® HD core or Pro Tools® HD Accel card(s). Solid State Logic has a number of such I/O units:

• XLogic Alpha-Link MADI-SX (64 MADI I/O, 12 stereo/24 mono AES/EBU I/O, 24 balanced analogue I/O).

• XLogic Alpha-Link MADI-AX (64 MADI I/O, 24 ADAT I/O, 24 balanced analogue I/O).

The Delta-Link MADI HD is also suitable for applications where Pro Tools® audio hardware is used with third party software packages (e.g. Logic Pro 7).
