Topic: How to configure 2 x adi-648 and one computer?

Hi I use an adi-648 and rme madi card as a live mixing system wit SAC software, all works really well. I have a second adi-648 that is a different generation. I recently tried to connect the second unit into the loop with the aim of adding an ada-8000 at the foh position for local i/o. The sync lights stayed on suggesting sync I reset all the matrix settings on both units. I could get local output from the ada but no input, also the main adi after the second had been set to output stopped outputting or inputting, all sync lights remained. I had 3 x ada on i/o 1-3 on main unit, I tried the other ada on 4-8 at the foh position. I was on a tight deadline for the show and had to re configure the sound and cannot test again until january, any thoughts or suggestions to get it all working?

This will work and most probably the routing had been wrong. For the second unit to work all those channels must be configured to pass through the first ADI-648. Then there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

Hi thanks for the info, can you suggest which section of the manual to look at to set that up.

Hi I've read the manual again, how do I set 1:1 pass through, is it a case of setting the matrix to 1-1 2-2 etc or is it a setting else where?

Yes, Matrix to 1:1 etc, means MADI LED top and bottom. In your case it is LEDs 4 to 8 for pass through to the second unit, and on the second one 1 to 3 for pass through of the first unit's data.
