Topic: Multi room mic source to MADI

Hi all,

I'm new to MADI and would like to clarify how a situation like this will work.

i have 2 separate rooms with mics...let say 16 in each. 2 x Micstasy in each.
In 1st room, the mic pres are loop with coaxial from one to the other.
On the last pre, i have optical out to a wall panel with sc connectors sending this to a central machine room.
The same happens for the 2nd room also.

In the machine room we have 2 x optical coming from different rooms,16 mic pre for each room.
We patch both this optical to a MADI convertor and into a MADI Bridge thru coaxial.
Now at the MADI Bridge,we can only send one input source to one or more outputs.
I have a MADI interface on DAW with one MADI input connector.
How can i combine both the room pres to one input of the MADI DAW card to see all 32 pres?
Thx in advance.

Re: Multi room mic source to MADI

Best and easiest way would be to add the 2nd set of preamps to the 1st, via a MADI daisy chain.

Micstasy 1 -> Micstasy 2 -------> Micstasy 3 -> Micstasy 4

If necessary, the first set can be routed through the Bridge to the second set.

Or, use 2x ADI-648 to merge the MADI.
